Re: Salary Cap

FROM THE CHL Rulebook - This only Applies to the CHL. Never could waive a players signed in free agency and be relieved of the contract unless someone claimed the player before clearing waivers.

Waiving Players Under Contract:
The only time that you get off the hook for a player contract is if someone claims them from waivers before they clear (on their way to your minor league team). If a waived player with a guaranteed contract is claimed BEFORE they clear waivers the new team picks up the entire contract. If they clear waivers they are deemed a free agent and their salary reverts to $0.50M for that year, but their old guaranteed contract is still paid by the old team. If a new team claims them from the FA pool they are only responsible for $0.50M for that one year while the old team continues to pay their old contract, so they are being paid by both teams.
