As a reminder in the off-season, players can be moved to from NHL/AHL freely without waivers. The roster min/max minimums are waived, and you can exceed the salary cap by 10%. This allows flexibility in building a roster for the coming season.
You can still put players on demotion waivers for the purposes of reducing their cap hit by 50%, and players can be claimed following the normal waivers process.
To avoid the issues we had last season with teams losing players to waivers, the rules committee has made the following change to the start of the season roster lock.
24-hours following the first IRL NHL game, any player who is in your minors and not eligible (player not on ELC or not in currently in the minors IRL, or playing internationally) and has 10 NHL GP (5 for goalies) or more, will be placed on demotion waivers.
I will post this reminder several times throughout the off-season to ensure it is seen by everyone. It is up to you to read, and ask any questions you may have, especially about specific players.
Thank you!
