And another one, possibly...

25) Compensation for AHL teams if NHL teams poach their players. (If this actually exists. If not, make it clear in the League Notes.) I signed a couple players directly to my AHL team only to have NHL teams sign them mid-season without compensating me. Although I believe a player would happily leave an AHL team if offered to sign for an NHL team (or maybe even a salary increase to a European team, which I don't think the game permits), I find it less easy to believe that the AHL contract is simply dissolved with no compensation to the AHL team. Though if someone can show me that rule in reality, I'm happy to cede the point.
