NSHL Player Agents

As required by the NSHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) the league determines who the player agent(s) will be for the following season once the trade deadline has past. The elected player agent(s) are the voice(s) of the players in any negotiations involving contracts, rules and even CBA discussions. The player agent(s) are to act in the players' best interest at all times when handling any negotiations.

Signing a Free Agent

When a team wishes to sign a player to a contract, they must submit a formal contract offer via e-mail to the specific player agent handling that player's negotiations (listed above).

To be accepted as a formal contract offer the e-mail must include the following information for the player involved:

• Player's Full Name
• Player's Age
• Player's Birthday (mm/dd/yy)
• Player's Last NSHL Team / NHL Team
• Player's Last NSHL Salary (if applicable)
• The minimum acceptable salary allowed for the player's age / experience based on the CBA
• The salary and term being offered

Failure to provide any of the information that's required may result in the e-mail being disregarded.

The player agents will respond to offers made as soon as they possibly can via e-mail.

Out of respect for the player agents, GMs are asked to not inquire about any negotiations outside of the e-mail conversation(s) (on MSN or Twitter).

Any questions surrounding negotations or how they're being handled can be directed to the NSHL Commissioner (nshl@jaykashman.net)
