What happens to unsigned 2003 draftees from North America ( who cannot now be signed until a new CBA takes place) should the June 2005 draft not go ahead as scheduled and they cannot re-enter at that time?
Are they then automatically UFA's?
Would they still have to re-enter a postponed 2005 draft that might be held prior to any 2006 draft should a CBA get placed later in 2005 or in 2006 prior to the usual June 2006 draft?
Obviously the would be UFA's if there were only a combo draft in one in 2006 --but I think the NHL wants a separate if delayed 2005 draft. So what happens to their status if the 2005 draft is delayed?
