Nick Dallas-Cannot be brough up turned in too late.
Rule proposal to go in effect before registration 2024 season and beyond.
Players must be medically cleared to play in order to sign up for the draft. This applies to new and returning players.
Injured players may be put into the preferred hat at any point during the season in which hat picks are eligible once they are medically cleared to play.
End rule
Starting the season short with an unknown return date or date after the start of the season Shouldn’t be able to just sign up.
This takes away from players and possible coaches that are healthy and can plan to play the entirety of the season.
