Rule 1 in the waiver draft thread seems to conflict with Rule 9 in the Waivers section of the "official" rules:
"In the Waiver draft, teams do not need to protect players 23 and younger, and can protect up to 20 skaters, and 3 goalies. If you claim a player in waiver draft and are then over the limits, you must unprotect someone. If you claim someone but are still under the limits, you do NOT have to unprotect anyone."
I know a few GMs have been organizing their rosters heading into the waiver draft based on this rule, myself included. Can you please clarify?
That's kind of my point... if this is the first time that this rule change has shown up, it's not really fair to have this rule implimented on the eve of the waiver draft...
