Just a heads up.
B) During the playoffs, no trading or Free Agent signing is allowed. Only players from a manager’s farm team may be moved to and from each respective roster given a spot is available. E) Rosters (excluding the calling up/sending down of prospects) will remain locked from the end of the fantasy playoffs until that date in which keepers have been submitted. No Minor League player may be sent to the farm post playoffs and no player may be signed until keepers have been submitted on June 1. F) Transactions of players who cannot clear waivers due to the fantasy seasons ending will result in the forfeiture of that player(s) in question. Attempting to circumvent the system will not be tolerated. These players will be considered free agents and are available to be drafted in that year’s waiver draft and/or signed as a free agent. G) The recalling/assigning of minor leaguers to and from the farm will resume after each list of protected players has been submitted. Minor Leaguers do not need to clear waivers during the off-season.
These rules are applicable to teams that have the 1st round bye as well.
Minor Leaguers may be claimed off waivers should the situation present itself during the playoffs.
Good Luck.

Can any player be claimed on waivers should the option present itself? For instance, O'Reilly and Brassard recently dropped by the Sharks, since their waiver period falls within the middle of the playoffs can they be claimed? If they clear I understand that they cannot be claimed. I'm almost positive this can occur, not just with Minor Leaguers, but all players. Thought I'd double check since you didn't note it though.

No. Only Minor Leaguers may be claimed via waiver. The reason for this is to prevent desperate teams/teams who are eliminated from its respective playoff bracket from dropping valuable players that might otherwise alter the natural course of play in the later rounds of both the Championship Bracket and the Detroit Red Wings Consolation Bracket. This is another one of those areas in the rulebook that need a serious overhaul come the offseason.

I actually like that, while reading your explanation I was thinking to myself 'even better'. Thanks for clearing that up.

Brad should pay attention.

Brad should pay attention. Ryan O'Reilly is really starting to piss me off. This is a difficult situation to assess. While it is true that no waiver claims are allowed for non-minor league players during the playoffs, there is no way to prove when Brad - Ducks submitted his waiver claim. Since O'Reilly was placed on waivers April 7 (prior to the playoffs beginning), my initial reaction is that all pending waiver claims prior to the playoffs should be allowed to process. Kind of like how trades accepted before the deadline are still processed two days later after the deadline if not pushed through early. Therefore, O'Reilly was claimed legally.

The only reason I made the 'pay attention' quip was because I detailed this very scenario a few posts back and Derrick said the opposite of what he's saying now and Brad made the transaction after this revelation. I have no problem with it, 'whatever' situation but it would be nice to show some consistency.

Yeah, I made the transaction before any response from Derrick but I've been following the thread to be sure that it was a legal transaction.

Under normal circumstances, no waiver claim can be made for a non-minor leaguer player during the playoffs (as described in my first post). Ryan O'Reilly was placed on waivers PRIOR to the start of the playoffs thus he was not "claimed" during the playoffs (as indicated in my second post). I don't see where the confusion is outside of rulebook wording technicalities (as always).

I COMPLETELY skipped over the first half of the post and honestly didn't even see it until now. Total "Memento" moment. Hence my above response. And I am still not so sure you guys aren't playing a joke on me. I guess I was speaking directly to "I'm almost positive this can occur, not just with Minor Leaguers, but all players" and not the aforementioned O'Reilly portion that somehow alluded me (I blame it on cell phone posting vs. computer posting, which are two completely different animals). Anyway, the intent of my original post has been explained, as well as my second post. Both explanations shed light on how I see pre-playoff waivers vs. playoff waivers, and I will let those decisions stand. Now I am off to watch "court programs" before Bingo...

No issues here explained well. Ducks can keep O'Reilly.

All rosters have been updated post-Entry Draft. Please check to make sure your team is accurate. Good job to everyone (except Toronto) making timely picks and keeping your team rosters up to date without any violations.
The (postponed) Prospect Draft will begin this coming Monday, July 15, 2013, at 12:00 PM EST. All non-rostered prospects are available to be drafted, including those from the 2013 draft class.

I have been against this in the past, and am still against it now. I feel that GM's who put in the work should be rewarded as such, and those GM's who blow off a draft, should be punished as such.

Totally agree. We're agreeing left and right lately.
