Try-out contract is defined by article 26 of the Legal Reglement, here.Makarov on a try-out contract with Avangard after the team has been decimated by injuries. How do try-out contracts work, by the way? What makes a contract try-out level? I mean, a regular contract would be something like, "We sign this for two years. You'll be paid this amount of money per year." but I have no idea what a try-out contract includes, other than the obvious fact that it is a short-term one. Do players receive money for it? How long can it be?
I was actually post this to transfer news, oops. Any way to delete this?
Try-out is usually signed for a pre-season period. A player can sign a try-out contract during the regular season as well, but such a contract can not take longer than a month and can not be effective after December 27th. Only player with NSA status (aka UFA in the NHL) can sign a try-out contract during the regular season. A player can sign two try-out contracts with the same team during the regular season. So, you sign try-out with a player on September 1, then prolong for a month on October 1. Then, you need to sign a standard contract or nothing. Player under try-out contract can play a maximum of three regular-season games.
Salary can not be lower than minimal salary in the Russian Federation.
A player can sign try-out contract with just one club for the same period of time, otherwise he is suspended for six months. He can sign try-out with another club after his previous try-out is finished. So, nothing special here.
Try-out contract can be terminated anytime by any side, without paying a financial compensation to the other side of the contract.
