CHML 2025 Free Agent Draft modified to handle contraction to 16 Teams       

Special Rules for only 2025 season

The FA draft begins with the same order as the rookie draft. A team may either select a free agent or pass.
A team is out of the free agent draft by either passing 2 times or declaring themselves done.

Players who had been under contract with either of the contracted two teams shall be designated as CFA (Contracted Free Agents).
If a team selects a CFA free agent, the corresponding rookie draft pick is forfeited (in effect, that pick slot is skipped in the rookie draft).
If an eligible CFA free agent goes unselected, they are assigned to the Rookie/Replacement Draft Pool and tagged with 3 assignable contract years instead of 5.  

If a team selects an FA free agent, the corresponding rookie draft pick gets assigned to the team who tendered the FA free agent.  If an eligible FA free agent goes unselected, they are returned to their tendering team with 3 assignable contract years. To make a selection in the Free Agent Draft, you must have the corresponding selection in the Rookie Draft. If you trade away #1 overall, it is #1 overall in both drafts. The order of this draft is identical to the rookie draft, and no trading of these picks is allowed during the drafts. Teams are not required to make a selection. They may pass, but passing 2 times total ends participation in the FA draft. If a team fails to make a selection during its allotted timeslot, it is deemed a PASS in that round.

The actual draft works as follows:
Teams may either make a selection or pass.

If they pass, no action is taken with respect to their corresponding rookie pick. 2 passes, and a team no longer participates in the Free Agent Draft. If a team makes a selection, their corresponding pick becomes property of the team losing the player or is forfeited if they have picked a CFA.
If a team selects its own player, the corresponding rookie pick drops 10 places in the Rookie Draft.

In the "official" grid below, the number is the pick order number in the Round (and the corresponding compensation pick in the Rookie/Replacement Draft) displayed in the grid.  Note that Round ONE is the Draft Lottery order. The official draft order for all rounds is at Official Draft Order
