2015 Waiver Draft Discussion

[Lee]

He also killed over 3 minutes worth of penalties and had 2 BS last game. He's not a one trick pony.

[Matthew]

Was tyler johnson a college guy?

[Lee]

No CHL

[Fraser]

Didn't go balls deep in research this year. But there seems to be quite a few decent options left on the surface here. 2 full rounds wouldn't have been overkill

[Lee]

is myers eligible? just signed today.

[Bruyns]

Was hoping Martel went unpicked was next on my list to sign after the draft.

Devante Stephens doesn't have a contract according to general fanager

Ya he is 2016 draft eligible in our league so Dave needs to re pick

[Fraser]

Sounds like an Nhl contract to me

[Fraser]

Could've sworn he signed earlier though

[dave1959]

Correct, you can't claim a player that doesn't have an NHL contract but you can pick them in the waiver draft.

I was going by this

[Matthew]

^this is true i thought. doesnt matter about a contract in the draft, but afterwards we can only sign contracted players.

[Arian The Insider]

BBKL draft eligible players are only eligible for the waiver draft if they have signed an NHL contract

Free agents do....not waiver picks

Schoalzie said so in this thread.

[Bruyns]

Read the first page of the waiver draft thread for who is eligible.

Either he said it wrong or you misinterpreted it. Why didn't you take Austin Matthews then if that's the case? He's eligible for the next bbkl draft.

[Matthew]

because there is an age limit for this waiver draft.

Howevr, in the cba it says ncaa players must 1. have a contract to be selected in this draft and 2. not still be in the ncaa system., so if devante was an ncaa guy he needs a contract. it doesnt say anyting bout euros tho...just the age thing.

there's an age minimum which also seems to be the age maximum for the upcoming entry draft

[dave1959]

I'll wait for his reply

Repicked just in case

[Bruyns]

We had this discussion last year too after Arian selected a 2014 draftee but it was allowed because he had a contract. No 2015 drafted players without contracts who can still technically be drafted in 2016 are waiver draft eligible. I took a 2015 drafted player but he was older and it was his last year of draft eligibility so he was older than the age guidelines I linked above.
