so i'm getting my one next friday. I see the sign ups end in 8 days can i sign up and put on ir so i wont be blacklisted.
Sign ups don't end until the playoffs begin. So yes you can sign up and be assigned basically from now until Jan 3. Since you've played before you will be a randomly assigned Veteran player which restrictions you from being a full time call up in the NHL. You are eligible for the AHL, as long as the team who you are assigned to is not yet at their limit.
