Yep I would have to agree.
Reminds me of a situation we had happen here one year. A player had been releasd from his club in Florida and was driving back towards Canada. He had decided to stop for a couple days and see some buddies that played for us. On a morning before a game during game day skate, one of our G's took a puck in a bad spot on the back of his leg. He was not going to be able to go, so we used one of the other guys in a backup role. That left a roster spot open up front, so we signed this guy to a one week deal and with the league office literally a block away I ran the contract down there and left it with the commissioners secretary as he was out of town.
Well he played that night and we won the game. The next day we released him which apparently caught the curiosity of the opposing teams coach and he phoned the office and asked if the contract had been filed, which it had not but through no fault of our own. the secretary simply forgot to do so the day he was signed. In the end it was determined we had no wrong doing in the fiasco and it was filed away as a clerical error and we kept the 2 points.
