- players with 0 NHL games that get signed during the season
*NOTE -- All players listed under "SLIDING CONTRACTS" on your weekly sheet do not count towards your team contract and aren't eligible to used in your active roster.
A change from previous seasons, you must declare which sliding contract you want to use towards your active roster. All sliding contracts will not count towards your contracts unless you choose to play them.
When you "activate" a sliding contract, their waiver status will change from sliding (the blue S symbol) to waiver exempt (the purple down arrow). That player will count towards your contracts and is eligible for your lineup for the balance of the season.
You can't "activate" a sliding contract if you're currently at 50-or-more contracts (see cell Q7).
*NOTE -- The "Roster" tab of your sheet will show a grand total of all current contracts on your roster but that total includes all active players and sliding contracts.
