Since when, this is a CPHL first... It's ALWAYS been if the players retires in his 1st year of his contract fee's are paid regardless who currently has him, that has always been the risk for obtaining such risky players
This is new and unfair to the previous teams that have been hit with such fines. All this now does is creat a huge loophole to sign retiring players and trade then off on the first day so it free everyone of any penalities
