what if a player is unsigned by the deadline day?

They are still yours then.

IF the player has not played ANYWHERE for more than one full season, AND has not been trying out with teams, we consider them 'unofficially' retired and can be removed. Otherwise the player remains active on your roster.

I've got two guys in the same boat as you. Parrish (who I keep expecting to retire but hasn't) and Koistinen. I'd be just as happy if Koistinen signed somewhere where he'd get a shot to rebound but if not I hope he signs in Europe really soon.

He's out of the HFNHL until he (hopefully) returns to hockey to score his 1000th point. Same as with forsberg and koivu a few years ago, recently sullivan and this summer kim johnsson.

Actually that's not necessarily true. In the Lindros, Sullivan, Koivu, and Forsberg cases it was strongly believed it was truly career ending (in effect most were when you think about it). Missing a year for a LTIR does not mean automatic removal.

There are many cases where the player was not removed b/c there was a reasonable belief the player would be back in a year or less. Most recent example would be Mike van Ryn who I do not think was removed last year even though it was announced he would not be able to play the 2009/10 season. There was reason enough, at that time, to believe this was an LTIR not a career ending injury.

Truth is (in my tenure with the Admin team) I'd say decisions on whether to keep or remove players in these sort of circumstances came out close to 50/50.

The Admin Team should be reviewing these cases as the past decisions (and be extension precedents) are not clear cut enough to have a hard and fast rule on cases like this.

I always thought Pettinger had the stuff to be a bona fide NHLer; I remember being disappointed at having to move him with Pitkanen in the Buffalo deal. I guess you really never can tell.

What happens with Marc Savard now that he's out indefinitely?

We usually only pull a player if their injury/health concern is projected to last a year or more. Savard is just indeterminate, like Willie Mitchell or Kurt Sauer, so he should still be available this season.



Oh, and Mathieu Dandenault hangs 'em up: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=335366

If they put him on LTIR, he is only required to miss 10 games/24 days. Sounds like he'll be missing a lot more time than that, but it's indeterminine like you said. Obviously I'm biased, but I don't see any reason to deactivate him in the HFNHL.

...and the deadline has passed. I'm very surprised Robert Lang hasn't signed with a European team or retired.

Darcy Tucker retires: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=335903

... but since the deadline passed, he remains on Phoenix's roster for this season.

Looks like Miroslav Satan is playing for Slovan Bratislava on a week-to-week contract. The article is dated 30.9.2010, so he's out of the HFNHL, until the Devils sign him..

Shame if true - Lappy was always one of the un-sung heroes of the HFNHL. Since nothing was officially confirmed prior to October 1st, he'll still be available for the balance of our season. Call it his HFNHL victory lap.
