For those that said the CBA is confusing...

I only found the 2005 CBA

13.23 In the event a professional or former professional Player plays in a league outside
North America after the start of the NHL Regular Season, other than on Loan from his
Club, he may thereafter play in the NHL during that Playing Season (including Playoffs)
only if he has first either cleared or been obtained via Waivers. For the balance of the
Playing Season, any such Player who has been obtained via Waivers may be Traded or
Loaned only after again clearing Waivers or through Waiver claim.


Now does anyone have a link to the new CBA because I don't understand how this is confusing or ambiguous

All Playerson a Club’s Reserve List
and Restricted Free Agent List
will be exempt from the
application of CBA 13.23 Waivers in the case of a mid-season signing.
