The Ottawa Senators are thrilled to select Gavin McCarthy.

They're on one hour timer so I believe @Down by the River should be up now?

Yup. Except an interesting twist in this league: during playoffs you can only pick one goalie to record points.

You'll post call-ups, send-downs, IR assignments and such here. Good idea to tag Gator along with it. You don't need to sub in your 7th or 13th though. Whatever is on your main roster will accumulate points on any given day. All 23 players. Also it's a good idea to apprise yourself of the various waiver rules. Players only need to pass through waivers to be sent down, can be called up without waivers. Limits on exemption/eligibility can be found in our CBA section 4.4.

The Ottawa Senators are thrilled to select Gavin Hayes.

The Ottawa Senators are elated to select Alexander Perevalov.

And so also 2022 drafted players get an extra year to sign? We'll have until 2025 to sign them instead of 2024?

Interesting, on a couple different levels. So this also goes for sliding players who are playing in the NHL?

I've said to you in DMs and I still maintain yours has been one of my favorite builds of the draft. I mean there's some really good ones and it's impossible to pick one or even just a couple, but I have to admit once I got a grasp on what you were trying to do I stole some elements of your build for myself. Star players on emerging teams + young emerging players on established contenders. Just based on the names of the GMs in the Atlantic I knew we'd be in for a challenge, so it was a bit of a relief to see that most of the division is leaning more future-oriented. Florida and Tampa look to be the runaway favorites for year one, although I hope to be in the mix as well. Most of the others look to be a little ways down the road (barring major trades), but year two is when it looks like my Sens and your Bruins could could emerge as legit contenders.

He is not.

First off, the Ottawa Senators would like to thank CSKA Moscow, as there's not a snowballs chance in hell this kid makes it to me here if not for two years left under contract there. The Ottawa Senators are as ecstatic as we've been all draft to select Prokhor Poltapov.

@grandmaster

Via list San Jose selects Jan Jenik.

@BBKELLY99

The Ottawa Senators select Trevor Lewis.

Lol you mean Gator?

Yeah that's doubly my bad, both for cluttering the draft thread and for missing that in the CBA. I assumed it would be under the "entry draft" heading.

@Primal Optimist OK I did find this in the CBA: "Unsigned prospects are players that you have drafted but have never given an ELC to. These prospects will re-enter the draft in 2 years if not signed to an ELC. There is no limit on how many unsigned prospects you can have." It makes sense that players drafted in future entry drafts will all be subject to GFL rules, but what about players drafted in the fantasy draft? @Gator Will all college and European prospects drafted more than two year ago need to be given GFL contracts immediately after the draft?

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything in the CBA yet about this, so I would assume real life NHL rules will have to be honored for now. The most up-to-date info I can find is that CHLers need to be signed within 2 years (as everyone knows). For college players, they basically have up to 4 years to be signed, but there seems to be caveats where the older they are when drafted the time limit shrinks. Players drafted from European countries with NHL transfer agreements have 4 years to sign. Players from countries without transfer agreements (i.e. Russian currently, as the transfer agreement was suspended after Ukraine invasion), rights will be retained indefinitely. But I'm assuming players drafted while the KHL transfer agreement was in place will still be subject to the 4 year window.

Willander isn't under contract so can't / doesn't need to be slid. Ostlund can. But yeah, have a look at the spreadsheets. The whole league will start to make a lot more sense.

Rosters are based on the team spreadsheets on the first post of this thread.
