In the interest of progressing the draft, I will select Emil Andrae. @AriGold

We will take Drew O'Connor's RFA deal signed by the Penguins as opposed to negotiating a new contract with him @Gator

Its very likely that at points during the season, due to injuries, some teams will have far less than the minimum active players and some teams will have far more. This is a direct consequence of us not being able to control who is slotted into an NHL lineup. Its fairly normal. As long as you have 12 forwards, 6 defence, and 2 goalies to start it won't matter too much what happens over the course of the season.

Drew O'Connor @thrago

Marc-Andre Fleury for @Bob.Loblaw

Marcus Pettersson @AriGold

Victor Soderstrom @thrago

Bob Loblaw selects Mark Giordano (for searchability please include the player name)

I am getting absolutely shafted for recognition here

I can confirm that the rule received 20+ positive votes within about 20 minutes. Why the message was deleted I'll never know. Why we are changing rules mid draft I don't understand. All that being said, its a good change. Essentially: instead of waiting until the conclusion of round 10 for the limit on 2022 or 2023 prospects to expire, we wait until the conclusion of round 11, thus the teams who were lower in the round 1 draft order get the first crack at a 2nd 2022/23 draftee. You still have an opportunity to pick your 1 before that point.
