Thread: Everyone else is doing it
<a href="/users/ChiHawk" target="_blank">@ChiHawk</a> you are right this is probably an overpayment.

Saad has looked greats far, it would be interesting to give him a shot with Toews or Kane but that third line has played well why mess with it. Plus it gives the team a little bit more balance and potentially gets Strome and Cat away from the other teams top line.

Toews looks like he is over thinking every play, and Kane looks uninterested because he isn't with Strome and Cat.

Even without the top two guys playing like they should, Chicago has been close in every game.

I know you said you were just doing this because every other ACGM is doing it, but I wouldn't rush to make a move yet. Wait to see what the team looks like after Toews and Kane hit their stride.

Thread: San Jose Sharks signed Lean Bergmann (3 Years / $925,000 AAV)
from the CBA, section 10.1 "Unrestricted Free Agents," subsection (d), "Draft-Related Unrestricted Free Agents," sub-subsection (i): <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Any Player <strong>not eligible for claim in any future Entry Draft</strong> pursuant to this Agreement and not on a Club's Reserve List shall be an Unrestricted Free Agent. Further, any Player eligible for claim in the Entry Draft, but who was unclaimed, shall be an Unrestricted Free Agent subject to the provisions of Section 8.9(b).</div>
Bergmann is ineligible for the draft because, from the CBA, section 8.4, "Eligibility for Claim": <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>(a) All Players age 18 or older are eligible for claim in the Entry Draft, except:
[...]
(iv) a Player <strong>age 21 or older</strong> who: (A) has not been selected in a previous Entry Draft and (B) played hockey for <strong>at least one season in North America when he was age 18, 19, or 20</strong> and shall be eligible to enter the League as an Unrestricted Free Agent pursuant to Article 10.1(d)</div>
Bergmann played in the USHL for a couple of years. he also counts as 21 years of age for the purposes of this section because, from section 8.10, "Age of Players": <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>As used in this Article, [...]"age 21" means a Player reaching his twenty-first birthday by <strong>December 31 in the calendar year of the Entry Draft</strong></div>
Bergmann will, indeed, be 21 by the time December 31, 2019 rolls around, so he counts as age 21 for the purposes of the 2019 draft and is thus ineligible, per Section 8.4(a)(iv). this thus makes him a Draft-Related Unrestricted Free Agent, per Section 10.1(d)(i).
