Sounds great! Thanks for clarifying all of that and providing the links. Looking forward to the chance of getting more involved with all of this on a day-to-day basis!

So after reading the CBA a couple times I'm looking for a little clarification surrounding the waiver draft. So it mentions that this is the only time that NCAA and International FA's can be picked up, but does this only apply to players who have signed NHL contracts within the past year? In other words once a player is passed over in the waiver draft once, can he be picked up at anytime?

It's worth and fair noting for the new guys that neither of the 2 CBA currently appearing on these forums are up to date and complete.

That is the current situation, obviously not something we're fine with and something we hope to be able to fix in the future with a comprehensive new rulebook.

Some of the changes/additions can be found in the announcement thread; public announcements complete or overrule the current CBA as far as their content goes (and GMs are expected to be aware of those), this being a recent example:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6165&start=60#p181164

As of now, asking like it's been done here for the W draft eligibility is the way to go.
To clarify the eligibility rules for our drafts, check out the most recent posts made on the matter:

Waiver Draft 2014: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11068
Entry Draft 2015: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11306#p185556

if you still have doubts about the W draft eligibility, feel free to ask (with reference to the above link)


Another thing to be clarified for those who may later be awarded access to Fantrax:

the current rosters on Fantrax are set with Fantrax default positions.
Those are not necessarily the ones we use.
In particular, when it comes to W/C eligiility, we use a parameter called FOR to determine the forwards position:
FOR is the ratio between faceoffs taken and icetime. We have yet to determine the exact FOR threshold for next season; last year it was 0.45, if a change is going to occur it will probably be minimal. Players with FOR above the established threshold will be C, those below will be W. Successive updates are performed during the season, hence a forward might change his position during the year.
Since recently moving to Fantrax we have yet to update players positions, so what you currently see on Fantrax rosters may be wrong.
Btw, we do NOT use dual eligibility.

Thanks this is great.

Looking forward to my first waiver draft. What do you guys use to filter eligible players for our waiver draft?

We clarify the criteria. If you find an eligible pick you grab him!
