Think about it, their contracts just can't go *poof* with years remaining just because they're no longer TS eligible.
The owner needs to take preemptive action and move them (via trade or cut) if the player has another year or 2 remaining on their deal and the owner doesn't want them on their active roster.

Can you find any of the previous threads that discussed this? There were only a couple players I could find last year that fell into this category, and while there were threads posted in the FA forum announcing their release, that does not make it clear for me.
I know in previous years there was a thread that indicated what players were going to fall into this category, and that thread I recall indicated what would happen assuming no action. I'd prefer to see that thread if anyone can locate it before deciding.
Lastly, since I posted 10+ days ago that it would be handled this way, and the Derby Cars and Mutts have both had connection issues, I'm not going to change the rules on that at the last minute. I'm willing to allow them both some flexibility considering the ambiguity in the rule. I'd assume the Derby Cars don't want Frye on their active roster, so I'm not going to stick him with the cap hit assuming he doesn't cut him today. I don't know what the Mutts would want to do with Morency. I'll cut Everett just for clarities' sake.
