So I am a little confused are we signing 1 year deals because I want to sign a RW for the rest of this year but not next year???
One thing I guess if I had to be picky that I would like to be looked at is.If I call someone up from the minors than their subject to waivers and if someone takes that player they only pay half the salary and I pay the difference...I love this cause it saves people sending players up and down whenever....buttttttt......If I make a trade lets say for "Joe Thorton" who i currently have in the minors than if Jesse was to take him he would go to Jesse's minor's and be subject to waivers like normal. Is it possible to get a player from someone else's minors straight up onto your main roster than the GM can decide weather to send that player down or not and do waivers that way.Cause enlese I missed something Joe Thorton is stuck on my minor team for life!! lolol (way he is playing he should be anyways, haha)
The way I understand the rules is that if you trade anybody that is currently on your minor league roster that player will automatically be placed on the other teams main roster. If that GM wants the player on his minor league roster he would have to send him down and hopes he clears waivers.
No this is the way it works in Franchise NHL, here a minor leaguer is traded and remains in the minor league because a GM could trade, say Thornton, to another team then they could trade them back and therefore get them out of the minors free of charge.
Do Minor League Players follow the same extension rules as The Main Roster counterparts. Maybe I was looking in the wrong section but I couldn't find an answer
As the commissioner you could easily stop a team from trying to do that. I like the idea of traded players automatically being placed on the NHL team. High salary players like Gaborik, or any player for that matter (who are only sent down in the first place to make cap room) are practically impossible to trade from the minor league squad since to be called up they have to go through the re-entry waivers, and having to take on half of any given players salary (for the duration of the contract) is great for the team that would claim him, but for the team wanting to recall him to potentially make a trade is to big of a risk in my opinion.
