[Lee]

Date: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 (noon)

Here are the specifics for the 2012/2013 Waiver draft:

Proceedings
8 hours available to make your pick in the apposite thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8662.
As usual, you're not expected to use the entire timeframe to make your pick if you're around before its end. If you plan on waiting throughout it because of ongoing trade negotiations, please notify other GMs in this thread.
If you don't make your pick in the available window, your pick becomes 'pick at any time' while the next GMs in the draft order can go ahead and make their selections.

Eligibility
Automatically eligible for the 2012/2013 Waiver draft are ALL bbkl-free players who were:
- born before january 1st 1993, if they played a season in N.A. when 18,19 or 20yrs old
- born before january 1st 1992, if they never played in N.A. when 18,19 or 20yrs old

Additionally, bbkl-free players already signed to a NHL contract are eligible as well, even if born later than that.

Notes
- Be sure to have all your players listed on your roster (both on CBS and your forum team page), including the ones drafted in 2012!
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8096
Those missing and not eligible anymore for future BBKL Entry Drafts will be considered FA and eligible for the Waiver draft as a result.
- After the Waiver draft, the unowned NHL-signed players* will become available as free agents; however, after rosters submission, those still eligible for the 2013 Entry draft will join the pool of players reserved for it.

* the CC has yet to decide whether unlisted and NHL-signed BBKL 2012 draftees would be made available.
Be advised if you don't submit the required list (again: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8096) before the start of the Waiver draft you might risk losing them! (besides those not eligible for future BBKL Entry drafts).



Notes

- be sure to have all your players listed on your roster (both on CBS and your forum team page), including the ones recently drafted. Those missing will be considered FA and eligible for the Waiver draft as a result. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3943&start=20#p52644

- after the Waiver draft, the unowned NHL-signed players will become available as free agents; however, after rosters submission, those still eligible for the 2013 Entry draft will join the pool of players reserved for it.[/quote]

I've had a lot of people ask me if Justin Schultz is eligible for the waiver draft - He is not. Owned by Colorado. There is a placeholder on his roster due to the actual player profile cannot be added through CBS - http://bbkl.hockey.cbssports.com/player ... in-schultz

[Peter]

Because I inherited a bottom 3 team and my pick is originally 1st overall, that means I get a free pick at 3rd overall and 31st right? http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21

[Shoalzie]

I too would like to see this order finalized so we know exactly where our picks are...is my spot #4 or #5? We're past the entry draft and I don't know when we'll actually do this draft based on the uncertainty of the season starting on time but it's not too much to ask to for the official draft order since we're doing just the one round.

[tyler]

Can we get a date??

[Lee]

We are discussing it. The NHL CBA discussion kinda throw a wrench into plans.

[Tony]

didn't we do this mid September last year? works better that way I think ...

[kyuss]

didn't we do this mid September last year? works better that way I think ...

yes, and personally i wouldn't expect anything earlier than that, but if the season starts, say, in December it may actually occur later on..

[tyler]

I vote sept 1st

[Tony]

the closer to opening night the better

[The BBKL Insider]

i have no picks, thanks goodness

[Shep]

I vote Never.

[Nick]

We should do it early September IMO - team will still be holding camps on schedule last I checked, so all the same scouting can be done.
