NOTE: Elliott was a FA when I signed him since he's played in 151 games.

8) The “Minor Leagues” ("Farm System") / Waivers
L) Minor leaguers are defined as skaters with 200 or less NHL games played, regardless the age. Goalies to be assigned to the farm need 150 or less NHL games played in order to be considered a minor leaguer. Minor leaguers need to clear waivers before being sent to the farm.
P) Goalie "Games Played" is noted by the actual number of games a goalie has participated in in his career or in that particular season, not the games in which he has started.

Just making my intentions clear.

[Derrick - Senators]

Tanner Pearson went undrafted and has not signed an NHL contract (that I am aware), therefore he can not be signed to a NAFHL roster.

Sorry, just saw this now, can you point to where it says this in the rulebook? I can't find anything that says he has to sign an NHL contract to be signed to an NAFHL club. I found this:

Section 8: The “Minor Leagues” ("Farm System") / Waivers

O) Prospects are defined as skaters with 150 or less NHL games played, age is 24 or under (as at June 1 each year) and goalies with 100 games played or less NHL games played and age 24 or under.

He meets these requirements therefore I figured he'd be defined as a 'Prospect'. I did find this:

Section 6: Draft Procedures

I) The Inaugural Draft (the draft beginning May 6th) is a 19-round draft where you may draft ANYONE who has already been drafted by or played with a NHL club. This means that you will be able to take guys ranging from Jagr, to Crosby, to Malkin. Also, keep in mind prospect eligibility when drafting. A prospect is defined as: a player with less than 150 NHL games experience and the age is 24 or under 24 (as at June 1 each year). YOU MAY TAKE PROSPECTS IN THE INAGURURAL DRAFT.

Seems this was written for the Inaugural Draft only but even if you take the bolded into account it would mean somebody like Tanner Pearson couldn't be signed until he plays in at least 1 NHL game. Nowhere does it say anything about contract signing. Unless I'm missing it. Besides, contract signing is hardly a fair judge of ownership, it doesn't reward actual scouting, rather the hype machine. I want to sign a player that the entire NHL looked over, he can't be that good right? Shouldn't be a problem.
