Confirm. Enjoy Stevo. Centering MacKinnon and Landeskog, he will be a stud. I think i am only 2 mil over cap now....woot!!!

Weird that Cam is the one adding to the 50 point player.

Lol LAK wins

[The BBKL Insider]

Cam made the offer 1 for 1, i wrote back and said it was fair but i wanted to see if anything else came in from my block, he wrote back and added the pick and said he'd do that now if i accepted.

thus you see the deal posted.

yep. That what happens when you save 4 million in cap and nobody in the league that has space is willing to pay. In a mini rebuild as i was 14 million over the cap.....So far:

Out:

Iginla 38 5.3 mil
Soderberg 29 4.75 mil

In:
Stewart 1.7
Connolly 1.025

Two players on "prove it" contracts. Big gambles on my part but also exciting at the same time.

The waiver eligibility rule changes, is going to have a huge impact on this upcoming season. I suspect some teams will get some pretty sweet players by waiver claims.

Only change was lowering age to 27 and there are almost no good players that haven't played 120 games by the time they are 27.

I should have tried to get Soderberg instead of Iginla haha

more than that....

his past season parameters for waivers eligibility have been edited.

The age limit has been lowered by 2 yrs as follows:

Skaters will need to have played max 120 NHL regular season games AND to have yet to turn 26 as of October 1st to be waiver exempt throughout the starting BBKL season.
Goalies will need to have played max 60 NHL regular season games AND to have yet to turn 26 as of October 1st to be waiver exempt throughout the starting BBKL season.

That means skaters with 121 NHL regular season games will be eligible for waivers no matter the age, just like 26 yrs old players with less games played.

If under NHL contract, such players will be exposed to waivers if in the minors at roster submission (for season opener) and whenever they are demoted during the season (off-season excluded).


Note: that new age limit is not supposed to drop any further in future seasons.

it impacts me. arcobello, Anders Lindback, and matt hackett all become waiver eligible due to the rule change. It forces some teams to make more choices because there are going to be more waiver eligible players throughout the league than there used to be. It should help rebuilding teams grab some depth.

it also makes guys coming out of the ncaa @ 23 yrs old, and then needing a couple of yrs in the AHL a lot closer to the waiver status. Chad ruhwedel, for example, is now a lot closer for me.

Used to be 28 and 150 gp. That is a significant change.

[Matthew]

[kimmer]

[CAM]

[Matthew]

Pretty sure it has been 120 since i entered the league. go to your google docs and check the coding.

[The BBKL Insider]

Matthew is right

[thom54]

yea it was 120 i believe, think I had Zibanejad or someone exactly on that mark

[CAM]

Good find. Loophole. I guess more than half the league broke the rules?

no one should have, your new google doc should have caught it and warned you.

I just assumed everyone knew this rule. i was told 120 games for waivers when i started.
