For example, under the current rule If I signed a 1-season extension with Edmonton, they would need to wait until halfway through the season to retain be able to retain if they traded me, now if I sign a 1-season extension, I can be retained by them since I was on their roster in the previous season.The retention rule was intentionally designed to prevent teams from slinging up a cheeky extension and then retaining on it immediately. Why change? A lot of the players in the league are on 1-2 season contracts which really limits potential retention scenarios. What we didn't want to see was a team with cap space sign a high-end free agent and then instantly trade them 50% off to a contender. We think there's some merit to signing an existing member of your team and then being able to retain on those contracts. It opens the door for IFAs to be retained and for players who sign 1-2 year contracts consistently to be retained. The rule also stops teams from trying to trade for a pending FA so they can extend and retain (as the player actually needs to have been on your roster in the previous season). If it's something that is abused we will definitely re-visit it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() EDM All-Time Leader in Goals, Assists and Points |
