I've gotten some questions on rosters for the offseason so I wanted to clear some confusion.
During the offseason only, you can exceed the cap by 10%. You can also send any player down to the minors you would like, without them needing to clear waivers. Once NHL opening night rosters are submitted, we will have a roster freeze (date TBD). At that time, any players in your minor league system that does meet the minors eligibility requirements as outlined in the rules (and detailed below) will be subject to demotion waivers. At this time you must also be cap and roster min/max compliant.
-The player is in an organization's minor leagues
-The player is in a junior league
-The player is playing in an international league
-The player is still on their entry-level contract (ELC)
