Hawks and I have been talking about something that was overlooked in the original set of rules. Unsigned players or no-shows that can't contribute to the 20 man roster.
What we'd like to implement is the option to reserve a player in this type of situation, so that the team can retain the rights to the player but not have to have them sitting on the 20 man roster not accumulating stats.
The player would still need to count toward the 40 man roster limit so it may take a trade or calling up a prospect to make room in some cases.
To Qualify
Unsigned RFA's - Contract holdout whose rights are still owned by the NHL team (Jamie Benn, PK Subban are current examples). This wouldn't apply to UFA's
Players that are under contract but refuse to report and suspended by their NHL team (Visnovsky and Tim Thomas current examples). In this situation the team would get the temporary Cap Relief as is done in real NHL.
To use this option you would just list them on your team roster as a reserved player.
