first year for calculating the number of years he is exempt from
waivers.

refuse to take an assignment of such player's Player Contract and
the request for waivers shall be cancelled.

(b) A player who has been acquired by waiver claim shall not
be transferred to another Club until the termination of playoffs
of the season in which he was acquired unless he is first offered
on the same terms to the Club(s) that entered a claim when

Contract for any reason, such action may not be taken until
waivers have been requested and cleared in conformity with this
Article.

(b) Subsection (a) hereof is not applicable to a player
whose name is being placed on the Voluntarily Retired List.

13.20. When a Club claims a player on waivers, and,

subject to compensation or right of first refusal, between the
termination of the Waiver Draft and December 1, and provided such

he been signed at the time of such draft, the signing Club shall
place on waivers either such player or another player from its
final Waiver Draft Protected List.

(b) In the event a player who is exempt from the Waiver
Draft because of military service shall terminate such military
service between the termination of the Waiver Draft and the

Commissioner or his designee as exempt from the Waiver Draft and

whose name has not been included on the original Protected List
at the time of the Waiver Draft returns to action following his
removal from the Inactive List at any time prior to December 1,
he must first be placed on waivers, or in substitution therefore,
another player who was on the Club's original Protected List at
the time of the Waiver Draft must be placed on waivers.

(e) In the waivers referred to in subsections (a) and (b)
above the order of claim shall be the same as the Waiver Draft.

clearing waivers or through waiver claim.

WAIVER DRAFT

13.22. The Waiver Draft will be conducted each year within the
seven (7) days, but not less than three (3) days, prior to the
opening of the regular season, by telephone conference call at a
date and time as determined by the Commissioner or in accordance

The NHLPA shall participate as an observer in the Waiver Draft.

13.23. Protected lists of eighteen (18) skaters and two (2)

(a) All players and goalkeepers who, in the opinion of the
Commissioner, are on bona fide military service for their country
at the time of the Waiver Draft.

(b) A player on the Free Agent List who signs a contract
with a team outside the NHL may be exempted from claim in the
Waiver Draft at the election of the Club. If such player, having
been so exempted, returns to play during the season, the Club
will be required to place him, or some other player on the
Protected List at the time of the last Waiver Draft, on waivers.

(c) All players who qualify as set forth in Article 13.4
above.

13.25. All other players on Reserve Lists (including players on
Free Agent List) are offered on waivers with Clubs having right
to claim based upon order of the last Entry Draft, without regard
to the results of the Lottery and trades. Non-playoff Clubs
shall claim for one round exclusively. In the second round and
thereafter all Clubs may claim. Claim of a player from the Free
Agent List transfers to the claiming Club whatever rights to
equalization compensation were held by the Club from which the
draft claim was made. No Club may claim a player from the
Reserve List of a Club in its own division in the first round.
"Playoff Club" and "non-playoff Club" as used in this Section
relates to whether a Club participated in the immediately
preceding playoffs.

13.26. When a Club claims a player or goalkeeper under this
drafting procedure, that Club shall immediately place the claimed
player on its Protected List and shall announce the name of a
player, or, in case a goalkeeper is claimed, a goalkeeper, whose
name shall be removed from its Protected List, thereby reducing
said list to eighteen (18) skaters and two (2) goalkeepers.

[Note: See Section 13.21 re effect on Protected List of Free
Agents signed after Waiver Draft, and players losing their
military service exempt status after Waiver Draft.]

13.27. (a) No Club shall lose more than three (3) players
through draft claim made by another Club(s), unless it chooses to
so offer its players, except as provided in subparagraph (b) of
his Article, provided that, in any year in which there is an
Expansion Draft involving one or two new Clubs, then the above
described Waiver Draft loss limits shall not be applicable and
instead Clubs will have a loss limit in the next Waiver Draft of
two players or one player, respectively, per Club. In addition,
any Club that loses a goalie in any Expansion Draft may not,
unless it so elects, lose a goalie in either the next Waiver
Draft or the following year's Waiver Draft. "Draft claim" for
this purpose does not include a player transferred as a result of
the option described in subsection 13.29 hereof.

(b) A Club's three draft claim loss limit shall be increased
by the number of draft claims it makes against other Clubs.

13.28. Goalkeepers: No Club shall lose more than one (1)
goalkeeper which loss shall be included in the total of three (3)
in subsection 13.27 above, unless the Club chooses to so offer
additional goalkeeper(s), provided that, in any year in which
there is an Expansion Draft involving one or two new Clubs, then
the above described Waiver Draft loss limits shall not be
applicable and instead Clubs will have a loss limit in the next
Waiver Draft of two players or one player, respectively, per
Club. In addition, any Club that loses a goalie in any Expansion
Draft may not, unless it so elects, lose a goalie in either the
next Waiver Draft or the following year's Waiver Draft.

13.29. The Club from which the draft claim was made shall have
the option, exercisable immediately, of accepting the cash
payment as outlined in subsection 13.14, or requesting that the
player or goalkeeper removed by the claiming Club be transferred
immediately to its Reserve List and, if it so desires, to its
Protected List. If the Club elects to add such a player or
goalkeeper to its Protected List, it must simultaneously drop a
player from said list. If the player or goalkeeper is merely
transferred to the Club's Reserve List, but not placed on its
Protected List, he shall remain available for regular draft claim
until so claimed by any Club, including the Club exercising this
right to transfer, in proper sequence, except that he shall not
be available to be claimed by any playoff Club until all
non-playoff Clubs have had an opportunity to claim him. The
foregoing option shall not be affected by the number of draft
claims which have been made against the claiming Club.

13.30. Further, any Club, at its option, may at the time of
filing its Protected List set a waiver price less than required
hereunder for any player who is eligible for claim.

13.31. (a) When a claim is made, it cannot be withdrawn and the
player becomes the property of the claiming Club.

(b) A Standard Assignment giving effect to each claim made
shall be completed and filed with the Commissioner within ten
days of the making of the claim and shall be accompanied by the
payment for the claimed player.

13.32. When the selection (draft) process has been completed
under this Article the players and goalkeepers then on the
Protected List of each Member Club shall be specially recorded
and shall constitute its Protected List until the next ensuing
draft proceedings unless changed in conformity with the
provisions of this Article.

13.33. (a) Any player on the Reserve List of a Club who is
available for Draft Claim in the Waiver Draft and who is not
claimed, shall, at the completion of the Waiver Draft, be
considered to have been offered on waivers and that no claim has
been made. For this purpose, "claimed" means as a Draft Claim,
not transferred solely as a result of the option described in
Article 13.29. "Available for Draft Claim" as used herein means
available for draft claim at the time every Club passes in the
final round of the draft.

(b) If any Club having successfully claimed the services of
a player under the provisions of this Article thereafter disposes
of such player on waivers, that Club shall not be permitted to
make any further claim to the services of that player until the
next Waiver Draft is conducted, and until that date it shall be
deemed to have waived on his services for the purpose to
permitting the loaning of such player.

13.34. A Club acquiring the services of a player under this
Article shall have three months thereafter in which to reduce its
Reserve List to conform to the League Article.

13.35. The terms of a player's contract on file with Central
Registry at the time of the filing of the Protected List for the
Waiver Draft shall define the obligations to be assumed by a
claiming Club, and any different terms which have been agreed to
by the original Club prior to the claim shall remain the
responsibility of the original Club.

13.36. A player traded by a Club within the four weeks prior to
the Waiver Draft may not be reacquired by such Club within the
forthcoming season.

13.37. (a) For players and goalkeepers acquired by waivers by
original Club (the Club having lost the player in the Waiver
Draft) as provided in subsection 13.14, the waiver price shall be
reduced by one-half.

(b) The currency for the claiming price shall be determined
by the location of the Club from which the player was claimed.
