15.4 Exhibition Games.

(c) A Club shall be permitted to dress a minimum of eight (8) veterans for any Exhibition Game. For purposes of this Section 15.4(c), a veteran shall constitute either:

(1) a forward or defenseman who played in thirty (30) NHL Games during the previous season,

(2) a goaltender who either dressed in fifty (50) or more NHL Games or played in thirty (30) or more NHL Games in the previous season,

(3) a first round draft choice from the most recent year's Entry Draft, or

(4) any Player who has played one-hundred (100) or more career NHL Games.
The NHL really needs to fire their drafter. What the hell does it mean that they are permitted to dress a minimum? Thanks for permitting me, but I chose not to.

It's like saying I'm permitted to drive less than the speed limit. Yes, I am. But unless I'm not permitted to drive more ...
