So are all the players that have been claimed since January 1st no longer claimed?

[bills09]

Boom
Commander Sheppard dropping the precedent

[Shoalzie]

Good catch Shep...the precedent has been set. Any claim since January 2 is null and void.

[Tony]

Agreed. Shame on us for not keeping up with this...

I have edited my previous mistaken post to avoid any future confusion:

So basically here is where we stand when it comes to free agency, using Jevpalovs case as future reference:

we usually stop free agent claims sometime in february to stock up the waiver draft. should be ok here

there is a deadline indeed, it was January 1st.

- After the Waiver draft, the unowned NHL-signed players will become available as free agents; however, after rosters submission, those still eligible for the 2015 Entry draft will join the pool of players reserved for it.

So basically, from the end of the Waiver Draft till January 1st the unowned NHL-signed players (not tryouts, real NHL contracts) not eligible for the 2015 BBKL Entry draft can be signed (first come first) posting a reliable link that shows the player is indeed under a NHL contract.

Eligible for the 2015 BBKL Entry draft means "bbkl-free players born between January 1st 1995 and September 15th 1997 " and "bbkl-free players born in 1994 that have not played in N.A. when 18,19 or 20yrs old" http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11306
Jevpalovs is born in 1994, but clearly he did play in N.A. at 18 and 19, hence he is not eligible for the 2015 BBKL Entry draft, so he would have been a BBKL free agent till January 1st if signed to a NHL contract before that date.

That was not the case and Jevpalovs BBKL signing attempt came after our January 1st deadline anyway so Jevpalovs will be reserved for our next Waiver Draft.

[CAM]

Im in same boat, once official i will release.

[Lee]

I protest this decision and refuse to drop my client, Mr Jevpalovs.

[dave1959]

they'll just take him from you...they have the power!!

[Lee]

Look who it is, Mr I don't respond to offers.

[LeanMachine]

Curry's value dropped since being sent down to AHL, so I'd be happy the shed the contract

There has just been a voting in the CC and the result was unanimous:

apologies for not pointing out again the deadline this season, but those guys signed after January 1st are indeed retained for the Waiver Draft like in previous years.

So those who were added on Fantrax need to be dropped, thx

[Lee]

I assume there will be sanctions against the CC for their inactivity in properly informing the league in a timely manner.

[CAM]

Done. Hickman dropped
