A player like Lethonen is available to be drafted on his draft year.
And then if he goes undrafted, he moves to the Free Agent pool and is free game.
Now this rule would not even affect a team taking a player like Lethonen once he’s been signed by the Leafs because the signing happens in the...
In the same order of idea, teams only have 25 minors prospect pools and now the majority of GMs are looking to drop prospects to be able to fit the ones recently drafted.
It’s not like any team has the space to add 4 or 5 NCAA prospects.
Waivers resolved on Sunday at 9:00AM would leave a bit more time to GMs to prepare their team prior to Monday rosters lock.
Waivers resolved on Sunday at 12:00PM would give the opportunity to GMs to make claims Sunday morning, while still leaving at least 24 hours to GMs to prepare their team...
The new discussion on a potential new waiver rule brought back up an unresolved issue from last season : the Forbort Situation lol.
The unpunished action of leaving non-eligible players in the minors for an extended amount of time.
It would be great to have some sort of resolution here prior...
What this rule affects the most is the ability to pick-up a performing Free Agent player :
Martin Frk is a Free Agent and scored 3 goals tonight.
First one to add him gets him.
This is the main thing and I understand why the league would prefer to give the time and opportunity to every teams in...
Rosters lock <1 hour prior to the start of the first game on Monday evening if I remember correctly.
For this to work, Weekly Waivers would need to be resolved Sunday at Noon at the latest.
This would give teams at least 24 hours to set-up our rosters prior to the Monday night lock...
I think it's more that the majority of teams carry only 2 non-minor eligible goalies in their active rosters.
And a few teams carry 3.
Mrazek is your 4th non-minor eligible goalie.
HHH will most likely be the only team with 2 goalies on the bench.
Still a great piece to hold onto and get good...
Looking to trade a prospect for another 2020 4th round pick.
Karl Henriksson (2019 NY Rangers 2nd round pick) could go the other way.
Same with Nicolas Aube-Kubel who has seen time on the Flyers' second PP in the last 2 weeks of the regular season.
Draft Eligibility
Any player unowned that's already passed through the NHL draft (drafted or not) is eligible. This would include NHL vets (either FA or unprotected), draftees, undrafted European league players, undrafted college players, undrafted CHL players, undrafted USHL players, etc...
YO that 3-way trade is FIRE !
I was so pump reading the Fantrax notification and I had no part in the trade lol.
Congrats to Ferg, Habsy and Jesse
- amazing job, I really dig this.
