Thread: tarasenko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SHOWTIME_TTV</b></div><div>THE CONTRACT ENDED! Tarasenko became a UFA then signed another contract! NYR can acquire him directly from OTT with retention if they want. The "one calendar year" doesn't apply!</div></div>

From the CBA

(4) Reacquire as part of a Retained Salary Transaction the SPC of a Player who was on that Club's Reserve List within the past calendar year;
Illustration: If Club A Trades the SPC of a Player to Club B (the "Initial Trade"), Club B cannot subsequently Trade an SPC of such Player back to Club A within one (1) calendar year from the date of the Initial Trade and retain a portion of the Averaged Amount of that SPC pursuant to a Retained Salary Transaction. However, Club B may Trade an SPC of the Player back to Club A within one (1) calendar year from the date of the Initial Trade if Club B does not retain any portion of such Player's SPC

The rule essentially means that a team cannot acquire a player with retained salary, if that player was on the team's reserve list at any point in the past calendar year (2023).

Whether the players is on the same contract or not, is irrelevant. The restriction is about re-acquiring the player, NOT re-acquiring the contract.
