Is Thomas Pock a free agent this year or is he going into the draft? I'm looking to sign him in one of my fantasy leagues if he is a free agent.

His name is Thomas Pock, a 22-year-old Austrian whom many don't yet realise must still be drafted, since he's European.

(iv)a player age 21 or older who played hockey for at least one season in North America when he was age 18, 19 or 20.
HAHA... man you don't give up.
petec1978 said:No, I just don't have a horse in this race and when push comes to shove don't give a damn whether he's a FA or not. I'm only posting what I have directly documented from a major media source, which none of you have produced. If Redline is wrong, so be it...
-Pete Choquette
Well some of us have gone to other sources then Red Line.

No but seriously, why do we need a "major media outlet" like Red Line when we can all just read the CBA and see that it CLEARLY says he is a free agent.
What is the question? This shouldn't even be a question anymore... I brought it up when RLR wrote it, then got conflicting answers but then got firm answers.
Pete... are you JUST going on what RLR says or do you have something else (i.e. you read the CBA different)?
SmokeyClause said:The only way he's draft eligible is if this version of the CBA is incorrect or there is an addendum to rule 8.4.A.IV that I haven't found.
