Great question about contract years for NEW players. Anyone picked up in the off season via RFA, rookie draft, or UFA singing period doesn't have to have contract years declared until sometime in August (see rules). So yes, you've got all summer/preseason to figure out what to do with them.

You also don't have to move your rookies into active/taxi/reserve squad position until that same date... so it gives you the summer again to figure out what to do.

Moving Stills can come at that August date, too... If you move him SOONER, then his contract years and salary automatically start counting against your cap.
