eaglesfan036 4,593 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Per the VHL rulebook: " If a rookie is not offered a contract by the last day of the succeeding pre-season, they will become an unrestricted free agent" Seattle has yet to offer a contract to their S42 draftees Calgary offers: S42: 3,000,000 S43: 1,500,000 S44: 1,500,000 Come join us in Calgary Wasty we've got a few nice actives a few actives like Hurley and Encarnacion on the team right now, and a bunch of draft picks in S43.

Da Trifecta 1,896 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 There is no way that he comes to join your franchise. He already said he is willing to spend all 8 seasons in Seattle. Thank you for your inquiry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar 283 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Toronto matches this offer, and once again thought they were the only team that caught on to this!

sterling 1,996 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 But now the question becomes what does succeeding pre-season mean? One could argue it means S43... Da Trifecta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Trifecta 1,896 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 But now the question becomes what does succeeding pre-season mean? One could argue it means S43... Thank you for bringing this into fruition. The strong argument could be made. The lack of professionalism from my General Manager, should not reflect that of the team, nor it's players. I simply did what I thought would be best for the franchise and offered the contracts when I was given permission by commissioner Higgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagger 2,722 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) But now the question becomes what does succeeding pre-season mean? One could argue it means S43... Perhaps it would be better worded as "first pre-season", considering it only applies to rookie contracts. However, I don't think there can be much argument as to what it implies, as if it were to mean pre-season of S43, that player could be present on their team for an entire year without a contract. And I can't think of a way that a player without a contract would reach Pre-season of S43 without first being subjected to off-season Free Agencies. Edited February 18, 2015 by YEAH!

I think I speak on behalf of the commissioners and former commissioners when I say that every rule was written to fit my (Edgar's) interpretation. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, my interpretation is that these players are all free agents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you re-worded it really poorly tbh - Succeeding means the following off-season, not the current one. Da Trifecta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
