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.
However, an exception is made for players who have yet to play a single NHL game. Those players will be exempt to waivers even if already 26 yrs old.
In bold what's new for the upcoming season.
For example, this would have made S.Moses and Kemppainen (both drafted in the 2015 BBKL Waiver draft) exempt for their first NHL season, like they were indeed this season for the NHL.
Please use these formats when using the waiver transaction process:
When claiming a player that has been placed on waivers by another team: X team places a waiver claim on Y player
When claiming an unowned free agent that is signed to an NHL contract: X team signs Y player as a free agent
When releasing an unsigned player: X team releases Y player
When sending a player to the minors that must clear waivers: X team places Y player on waivers with the intentions of assigning him to the minors
When recalling a player from the minors that must clear waivers: X team places Y player on waivers with the intention of recalling him from the minors
