Definitely. I never disappoint when it comes to updates.

With 4 days until the start of the 20/21 FNHL season, there's lots of teams with oversized MiLRs and some over cap. Time to get a move on gents!

Also, the NHL has already throw a few knuckleballin' pucks our way with
* Delay of the NHL Dallas Stars season due to COVID-outbreak
* NHL New Jersey Devils veteran goalie Corey Crawford retiring after just signing a 2yr deal!!???

Likely a few more surprises to come!
This is going to be a VERY INTERESTING season!
I'm ready for all of it!

This new rule is to prevent circumventing the cap hit attributed to a top prospect.
In the past 2 seasons, we have seen teams dropping or Buying out a top prospect with a pricy ELC only to draft them in the Supplemental or Special Round 5 portion of the Entry Draft.

Rule Introduced January 5, 2021: Teams prohibited from Releasing or Buying out a MiLR player, player on ELC only to draft them in the Supplemental, Entry or Special Round 5 portion of the Entry Draft.

Example: Jack Hughes selected #1 overall should earn a $3.0M ELC but was bought out and drafted during the 2020 FNHL Supplemental Draft and will be signed to a league minimum of $0.7M - as of today, this practice will not be allowed as Hughes deserves his $3M ELC contract and this circumvents a sizeable cap hit the drafting team should accept.

Moving forward as of today January 5, 2021, this practice will not be allowed.
