Quoted from the Rulebook thread...
"Players Under Contract but Without Cards
You as a GM are obligated to pay the contract of any player who is under contract for your team until their contract term runs out, they are bought out as per your one buyout allowance per year (with penalty) or they fall into a select grouping below.
Here are the reasons that guys have no cards and what can be done with each type of player.
Player decides to play in Europe and doesn't have a card. You have the option of either terminating this contract for free or retaining his rights for 100k. (Think Kovalchuk)
Player was injured all year (I mean, all year) and doesn't have a card. You have the option of either terminating this contract for free or retaining his rights for 100k. (Think Willie Mitchell this past year)
Player returns to juniors and is on a pro contract (500k plus). You can retain his rights for 100k or drop without penalty.
Player return to juniors and he was drafted (meaning he is a prospect). One year gets added to his contract term and his salary is deferred until he starts hitting your books. This is the case until the skater plays 20 games in one season in the pros or 10 games if the player is a goalie.
Player is an old geezer and retires or no one signs him or he is stuck playing in the ECHL or the Quebec Goon league. You must pay the man or use your one compliance buyout (as stated above with penalty) to rid his contract. Another option would be to trade him along with another asset to a GM who doesn't have a player that he needs to buy out to have him buy the player out for you.

I know there is still time but with the countdown going on Trouba and some others I was very curious to which category the holdouts fall. It would seem that the holdouts fit closest with the "player decides to play in Europe" scenario (super convenient for me of course, but it does make some sense). With December 1st getting closer, I figured it was worth checking up on.
