Support Account for PuckPedia's PuckGM. Probably gonna tweet about Reserve Lists, too.

@CarsonHayek @PuckPedia @CrossSwordsPod I think about him and Ryan Segalla all the time. Will be a sad day when they're removed from the reserve lists.

@SlipperyNodd @JeanFrancoisCBA @PatientMental3 @FellowJonathan @HabsOnReddit It is based on professional experience.

We are working on better tracking of 10.2(c) players, but for known players it shows up in their contract if they're not offer sheet eligible on expiry. You can also filter by offer sheet eligibility in the Player Dashboard.

@77Oilers @PuckPedia When you have a chance can you refresh the page and try again? Let me know if you're still having issues.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@77Oilers @PuckPedia are you having issues on mobile or desktop?

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@dollaballers @PuckPedia @AustinReporting Yes. A 21 year old putting up 70-point seasons in the AHL would get an NHL contract and avoid going back in the draft but, in theory, yes. Nathan Walker was drafted out of the AHL as a 20 year old in 2014.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@odhanvyz @PuckPedia Yes. But the offer only has to remain open for 30 days. The 2024 players going back in the draft received offers last year which extended their rights but didn't sign them.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@odhanvyz @PuckPedia It is just a contract offer. They probably didn't want to risk having him sign it and taking up a contract slot for 3 years.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@Seg94A @PuckPedia We think it is because he was a 10.2c when he returned to Russia, so no right to NHL free agency.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@dollaballers @PuckPedia @AustinReporting Pro deals don't matter. He is the only '04 because he was the only 20 year-old drafted out of North America in 2024 who didn't sign or commit to NCAA. '04s who have never been drafted have aged out but different rules apply here because he's already been drafted once.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@dollaballers @PuckPedia @AustinReporting Never signed an NHL contract. Age not relevant; CBA specifically mentions players originally drafted at 20 who are re-drafted at 22 (they only have their rights held for one year). It is just very rare.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@EastCoastSJSFan @CurtisPashelka @Real_Max_Miller @PuckPedia They are 4-years post draft. Today was the earliest their rights could expire if they left school; rights are retained as long as they're in school:

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@hockygeek @PuckPedia @BuffaloSabres Drafted out of Europe as a 20 year old, his rights expired June 1, 2024. We removed him from BUF's reserve list in 2024 but forgot to update his sign-by date because he no longer showed up with NHL rights.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@Aaron_J_Wiebe @PuckPedia @puckdoku Never signed an NHL contract.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@BryanBastin @OnTheFuturePBR 🫡No worries, there has been a lot of confusion/uncertainty with the new CHL->NCAA path so some date changes were only confirmed recently so we're just trying to share why some dates on our site have changed over the course of the season.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@BryanBastin @OnTheFuturePBR Not lying, just been slowly updating our system to account for CHL->NCAA players and to show earliest & latest expiry date. NCAA players have a tooltip and rights are held until grad (unless they leave school early). Projected June 1 expiries are here: https://t.co/ucZ8aMJNzI

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@rangerbob94 @SportsThor Thanks for pointing this out. We are still in the process of automating our calcs for CHL-NCAA transfers. The number shown is the earliest day rights can expire if the player leaves school (Wakely has been updated to June 1, '28). If they're in school rights are held until grad.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@odhanvyz @PuckPedia @ByScottPowers We don't know for sure if a player can decommit, go back in draft, then commit 6/2 - no one has done that before. But players who have an active commitment through June 1 have historically had their rights retained, even if they haven't started school yet.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@Jmz_VT @PuckPedia NMC just means the player can't be placed on waivers or exposed in expansion without player permission. If a player has a full NTC on top of their NMC it's usually called a "full NMC". But NTC and NMC are separate clauses.

[PuckGM on PuckPedia @PuckGM]

@colin8_r @PuckPedia If the arbitration award is less than $4,950,080 the team has to accept. If it's over that amount, the team can walk away from the award and the player becomes a UFA (happened to Clarke MacArthur in 2010).
