If a NHL Hockey player signs a 2 way contrat how long can he play with the nhl team before important issues..?

Question

Is the player resricted to the amount of games, or does he have a min max amount of games he has to play?

Answer 1

I believe there is no limit to the ammount of NHL games a player with a two way contract can ro cannot play. It just allows the player to go back and forth between the two leagues without clearing waivers.

Answer 2

A two way contract is in the best interest of the NHL team because the player will make a lot less money if they are demoted to a minor league team. Usually, a two way contract is for inexperienced player or fringe 4th line or 7th defensman type player. Sometimes a player coming off an injury without a contract will sign a one year two way contract just to be able to show his ability again and that he has recovered from his injury.

Answer 3

When a player has a two contract they can be sent back and forth as long as the team wants to send them. When they do not have a two way contract they can only play so many games in the NHL then they have to pass waivers before they can go back down that's when the team has a possibilty of losing them.

Answer 4

i don;t hink there's any min or max games he can play. a two-way contract is just that the player is paid different amounts when he's in the minors and the nhl.

Answer 5

there isnt any limit to how many games you play. If you have a 2 year contract then you stay with that team for two years.

Answer 6

normally this means the team can return him to their farm team anytime.
