Welcome everyone to the first punishment thread in a while.
It has come to the attention of SMJHL HO that the Vancouver Whalers signed a player before the window to sign said player was open.
Code:
D. Free Agent Rule
1. GMs may not send offers to unapproved Free Agents. If HO discovers a team has signed a FA after contacting them before their approval, any contract the FA signed for that team is void. They may not sign for that club for the remainder of the season.
2. A Free Agent may sign a SMJHL contract starting at 12 noon Eastern Time (USA) the day AFTER HO approves the player. This window gives all GMs a chance to review the player before offers open.
As a result the signing of Josh Driver will be voided. The Vancouver whalers will no longer be able to sign Josh Driver.
