I believe thats the current rule in place. i dot think its fair to IIHF HO to discuss actual policy in media...but since its out here i think wed be better off if we set a hard date for lineups and if that nation ignores the 10 tags they get to submit a roster and its not due to an emergency (it being simply cause they didnt want to add it) they should be removed that season. im not 100% on this but i would guess that In the SHL if a GM doesnt set a lineup all year for non emergency issues) i got to believe they would be asked to resign no? .. should be the same here i believe.

Obviously most of these punishments don't apply for IIHF, but I'll pull a Tomen and quote the rulebook to cite the SHL stance on failure to meet GM deadlines

1 day late on offseason duties being completed: Forfeiture of 1st owned 3rd round draft pick
2 days late: Forfeiture of 1st owned 2nd round draft pick (but retention of 3rd)
3 days late: Forfeiture of 1st owned 2nd round draft pick (but retention of 3rd) AND 1 mil cap penalty
4 days late: Forfeiture of 1st owned 2nd round draft pick (but retention of 3rd) AND 2 mil cap penalty
5 days late: Dismissal of GM, forfeiture of 1st owned 3rd round pick (but retention of 2nd rounder), 2 mil cap penalty.
If a team doesn't have a pick in the appropriate round, the pick penalty is deferred to the following season.
