I think what he means (for twisting purposes - or not) that all players on roster must have played at least one full season for your franchise in their career - he has mentioned "no rental players". I think that means that whoever is on your roster, must've stuck around with your franchise for more than one season (not a half-season playoff-run trade deadline and gone type of guy). i.e. even though a high PIM scrub like a Barnaby or Probart might only have 65 GP, they played numerous seasons for the same franchise, so they are fine (AM I CORRECT KITE??)
This is half-correct.
What I mean is - A player must've played at least 82 games with your franchise (or whatever it was in the 70s). So, yes, no rentals. No Gretzky for St. Louis. No Brett Hull for the Yotes.
OR
Been on the roster for a year or more yet didn't play due to injuries. At least he was on the roster for a full year. So, Rick Martin can play for the Kings.
Coffey cannot play for the Kings. He was acquired late in the season and then dealt the following season late in the season. He never was on the roster for a full season nor played at least 82 games.
