I think that could be elucidated in the rules a bit more. Like from 120 to 140 games played, drafted prospects can still be signed (by anyone) to ELCs, but after that they're free agents. Given that I've sniped and been sniped (Burmistrov, my first ever pick), I recognize the benefit of keeping an eye on games played, but at some point they need a definite path to the FA pool.
yeah this seems good
I would prefer we just did something like:
-After 120 games (60 for G), he can be sniped
-If he's unsigned and unsniped at the end of the regular season, player enters UFA pool.
Basically, if nobody cares enough to do it in the season, they flow to UFA status. The only reason I don't like the 140 GP thing is if a player finishes the season at 125 GP and then has this semi-murky status through the offseason when UFA status is most important
I went through my prospect list and entered games played (for my own benefit, currently) and at 67 games played, Anaheim Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal is up for grabs.
To my knowledge, none of my other prospects have graduated because of games, just because of being old and busting.
Owen Tippett $11 x 1 (RFA after)
Artturi Lehkonnen $4 x 3
Charlie Coyle $5 x 1
Lawson Crouse $4 x 1
Yegor Sharangovich $1 x 5
Viktor Arvidsson $9 x 1
Troy Terry $1 x 5
Sean Durzi $5 x 2
Travis Sanheim $3 x 3
Jake Allen $5 x 1
Linus Ullmark $14 x 2

I updated mine. Confirmed I am bad at drafting!
I feel like I've gotten better at it in recent drafts but it's hard to tell since most of those guys are still in juniors/whatever
