Your list of 20 prospects associated with your team, as well as your one (1) complimentary amnesty buyout must be submitted prior to this deadline. If your prospect list is not submitted by this time, the rules committee will select your prospects for you.
Players whose contracts have been terminated via the complimentary amnesty buyout will be placed on waivers where they can be claimed by any other team.
To claim a player off of waivers, please create a thread with the players name by clicking, here. If more than one team makes a claim, the player will be awarded to the the team with the highest waiver wire priority. If a team would like to claim multiple players, please rank your priority of how you want them claimed (i.e.: Claim [1] on the guy you want most, and decrement from there).
If a player bought out during this process is claimed, the claiming team will then own that player's rights and as his contract status was at the time the player was bought out.
Free agency will tentatively begin on 10/16/20, or one week (7 days) following the start of free agency in the NHL. The NHL's tentative start date for UFA is 10/9/20.
Trading of Team Draft positions as well as Entry/Prospect Draft picks and UFA picks will be allowed during both drafts.
In terms of Entry/Prospect Draft picks being traded, normal rules for future year's Entry Draft picks does apply, meaning only 2020 and 2021 Entry Draft Picks can be traded at this time.
The 2021 Entry Draft will be 5 rounds.
An example of this would be if Team 1 had the 2nd Team Draft pick and Team 18 had the 31st Team Draft pick. Team 18 could trade their 2020 1st round pick (1st overall), 2021 1st round pick and 31st Team Draft Pick to Team 1 for their 2nd Team Draft Pick, 2020 3rd round pick and 2021 5th round pick.
