This is a pretty unique situation, so I think we will revert to what the NHL does here. So yes, you can do that and have him not count against the cap (Seeing as you're sitting at 21/23 roster players and ample cap space, I'll only process it if you need to though)

The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed Brian Boyle to a 1 year contract worth $0.700M. @winterhawks please create roster room for Boyle.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed the following players to entry level contracts: Jakub Dobes - 3 years, $2.100M ($0.700M AAV) Josh Lopina - 3 years, $2.100M ($0.700M AAV) Carter Gylander - 3 years, $2.100M ($0.700M AAV) Tomas Mazura - 3 years, $2.100M ($0.700M AAV) Nick Leivermann - 3 years, $2.100M ($0.700M AAV) @winterhawks *Note: These NCAA player contracts were sent in before last night's deadline. NCAA players are now only eligible to be signed beginning in next free agency.

All rosters are now inputted on Pickup. There are a few loose-ends that I will have to complete later today but the bulk of the work is complete. The following players are not on pickup yet, but will be added as soon as they are in the database: Gregory Hofmann (CAR) Serron Noel (NYI) Justus Annunen (WSH) Jonathan Dahlen (EDM) Yegor Chinakov (MIN) Jasper Weatherby (CBJ) Brandon Duhaime (CHI) Feel free to check over your Pickup team and ensure all is correct!

Sorry, screwed up the dates. Players are eligible had they turned 21 on October 1 not September 1. Nonetheless, Ellis is ok to be slid.

Obviously a lot of things still in the air before the season starts, but there are no opening night rosters inputted from the following GMs still: @JE14 @maroe @Watermelons @winterhawks @Tony Romo @Dak Prescott @Dabeast @luckylager @BoKnows @Canuck Surfer @Patrick Kane @kj29 @Rush17 @Sludge @lethunder @ActionJax09 @Mike Vanderhoek @HighOnHockey @Tylez @Dion Phaneuf @Nail Just tagging GMs so they are aware to post a roster before opening puck drop.

We have a trade to announce... To MIN - Casey Cizikas To SEA - Ryan Winterton

We have a trade to announce... To MIN - Future Considerations To NJD - Brett Connolly, MIN 2023 3rd Round Pick

Turned 21 on Aug 28, would have been eligible if he had turned 21 on Sep.1

Correct.

Also I will add, if placing multiple claims, please state the priority of the claims. Will make things easier for me!
