I looked at the prospects page and noticed some teams have ALOT of prospect uncreated. Now I can understand holding on to a player for a few season but some of these guys are 3-4 years from being drafted.
Isn't there some rule in the nhl (not that we follow ALLl their rules) that forces a team to either sign (create) them within a certain time frame or risk loosing them to free agency or something like that???
Does anyone know anything about this? And does anyone (I expect some to say no, ie flyers) think this is something we might consider.
I just hink there are alot of decent players out their that are not created for various reason.
Please do not reply "i asked for my prospect to be created but he hasn't been yet"!! I'm talking more about the amount league wide not just the one or two slowly being requested.

I like this idea. We'd have to act fast on poaching (if possible) the draft lists from the NvW before any more information on draft classes is lost. (it might be already, I haven't checked into this.)
The rule in the NHL is; after two years a prospect can re-enter the draft if he is under 20 at the time of the draft. If he's over 20, he's considered a UFA.

I agree, even if you have one prospect for more than 2 years he should be re-entered into the draft or UFA. Unless they have been requested to be created, with proof of the request with a date attached to it. I also think that the request should be sent out with enough time to be created BEFORE the two years is up, say 15 day prior to the next draft. Teams save money by not signing them also and i think they should have to give up that money

2 seasons isnt enough. We seem to be doing 2 seasons a year now, so one year of development is hardly enough when you draft a high risk/high reward guy. We also dont have the benefit of assigning players to their junior team, europe or the echl.
NHL teams have to sign their drafted players within 2 years, but DO have the benefit of these other leagues. Its not really comparable, especially when our league uses NHL stats to rate players - how does one get an accurate creation on a guy that never played in the NHL? Now that we are catching up to the NHL dateline it doesnt make sense.
