6.1 Overview of Unrated Players

6.1.1. All players without ratings will be added back to your prospects list. If you would like to have a player removed permanently, you can email the Commissioners. These players are eligible to be traded. Once a player is asked to be removed from your list, he is no longer your property. There is no more Euro List.

9.5 Waiver Draft

9.5.6. Players 24 and older are all eligible to be claimed in the waiver draft unless they have received ratings for the first time. These players will be marked with a "Rookie" status and will not be eligible to be selected. Players making over 1.5 million will be eligible for the waiver draft, regardless of their age. Players under 23 years of age will be eligible to be claimed if they have played over a quarter of the NHL season (21 games) and have played less then 5 AHL games.

12.4  RFA Open Season

12.4.1.2  You MUST have proper pick compensation before the bid expires on a RFA. Failure to do so will result in a loss of a future 2nd round pick.

12.5 Sign & Trades

12.5.3.  Once you’ve solicited and have a sign and trade arranged, you MAY NOT continue to shop the player. If someone ups the bid, it is up to the team who is trading for the player to decide if they want to void the deal.

12.5.4.  Any pre negotiated sign and trades must be sent to the Commissioners for approval. Otherwise, it will be treated as an unsolicited bid and proper compensation will be required before the bidding ends on that player.
