Or because no SHL team wanted them... (e.g. Sebastian Weiss) (great guy btw)
Typically we see SHL teams passing on players either because they're IA or they're wishing to stay in the J. While other reasons exist, such as a lack of space for players, I feel the Sebastian Weiss comparison to be a bit disingenuous. Considering this discussion has already happened regarding how frequently you retire your players, and the position that puts SHL GMs in when considering the best for their team's long term health. I'm more than happy to help plan a way to support our overall goals of retention and development with you, but you do have to consider their point of view.
