Scotty asks: Question, are we allowed to waive players on entry level deals, if so, how would this work seeing as there are no savings realized on these types of contracts? Read more: gtgfhl.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=recent#ixzz2XVotVh8oGood question/point Scotty. Just for clarification for all I am operating under the assumption that you are referring to our drafted players and not the guys selected in the initial player aquisition process. We have not had a case where one of these players has been identified as someone to drop so here are my thoughts. Because we want to increase the value of draft picks I would suggest we adopt one of the following solutions: 1) These can be dropped with either no charge or a flat 100k fee instead of a non ELC contracted player.
2) One of these players can be dropped in addition to a non ELC contracted player (cost: either free or 100k).
3) Any number of these players can be dropped (cost: either free or 100k per).If anyone has a thought or preference please post it here on this thread for consideration by the group. Also, in order to help people see your way of thinking you could include a few lines why you think it should be handled the way you are suggesting. Also, if you have an alternate solution, not listed above, please articulate that as well and I will add it to the list on this OP.

Yes, referring to drafted players. I will be interested to see how the owners think this should be handled.

My vote would be option #1 with no cost to drop.

Ok, looked up to see what the NHL does and to simplify it without all the legal talk...once a player is drafted, the team making the selection has until the following June 1st to 'register' that player and until the June 1 following that date to sign him. If they fail to meet either of these requirements that player is either eligible to re-enter the draft or becomes a UFA. So to best simulate this for our purposes, I say we use option 3 with the stipulation that he hasn't played on your roster which would indicate that you have already signed him.

Good work, Scott. I'm on board with that. It would allow you to drop them just like you would any of your minor league contract guys.

I'm good with that "more realistic" approach also Scott and Brian.

It seems like option 3, no cost is the winner. Any number of these players can be dropped and there is no charge to do so.
I like this as well as it gives the higher entry level priced drafted players more value.

With the stipulation that they haven't played any games in the FHL? This needs to be added to the rule book.
