I'm aware that if we play someone on a minor league contract they are due a raise next season. However, I believe in the NHL the salary cap is dropped and a team is free to call up any minor leaguers they want during the playoffs, without said player acquiring any games toward their ELC. My question is, if we do not use a minor leaguer during the regular season, are we free to call him up during the playoffs without giving a raise the following year?

No. If they are called up at any time, and used, they will need to be offered a pro contract the following year.

Zatkoff is an RFA when his contract expires, meaning his asking price will be set based on his card and then yourself and other GMs can give him offers, with you having the final say.
The minor leaguer salary increase only applies to players with MIN after their salary instead of UFA/RFA.

Zatkoff's original salary was 500k, his cap hit is below that because of the savings realized on the term of his deal.

I understand if a minor leaguer is called up and plays then they must be offered a pro contract the following year. But what happens if they ride the bench without ever touching the ice? Do such players still require a pro contract the next year? |

Just to clarify, the call up refers to guys on GHL minor league contracts who are used in a GHL game. These guys need to be be given pro contracts the following year or dropped by the team.

Ok, so my take on this is that a player with a minor league contract who is on the major league roster but only is on the bench and never actually inserted into the lineup throughout the season, then this player can remain a minor league player the following year as they do not require a pro contract. |

I had minor league guys 'on the bench' / practicing with the team but then not dressing for the game - these are the 5 guys that are on the 'bench' label of the roster.
Those guys should NOT need to be given a minor league contract. Mine were not.

Ok well that completely goes against my interpretation of what Glenn said so we are going to need some clarity from the commish. |

If they play a game they will need to be signed or let go the next season.

On bench = NOT playing in the game / no big league contract
As long as they don't touch the puck / get game mins, they are still minor leaguers.

Now that I know what you meant, my question its answered. Thanks

Sorry for coming into this later in the day but if a player played in 1 game he is due a major league contract. If he was up with the team but didn't play a gam,e he can stay a minor league player.
The web site should force this pro contract stipulation on you (no minor league drop down button appears) where appropriate.
