Well i just win the president cup whit the Quebec Rempart and the Coyotes offert a contract to one of my best players, Brent Aubin, a couple of days before the Memorial Cup, he accept that contract and he left emediatly my team on the 17 may 2007...
What the Dickens is that? I though he would have left the team on the 1st june!

The problem is that their right superceed yours, if an NHL team owns their rights they can call them up and play them at the NHL level whenever
I know it kinda sucks for your team but that doesn't make it a bug; it's a common gripe of followers of lower level teams actually.

Same happened to me when I played with the Belleville Bulls in the OHL!!
Just after winning the league and heading into the Memorial Cup my high scorer had an offer he left inmediately....if I recall right to the ECHL, but not sure.
Its frustrating, I know!!!

LOL!!! I hear u!!!
Its curious that alway when Iam in the playoffs some of my important players get injured!!!
Normally, during the season, I only have minor injuries (one week or 10 days) but when the playoffs start the injuries are suddenly about 2 months, LOL!!!
BTW, tried to trade away Esposito from Quebec to my Mooseheads, but the GM didnt want to hear anything
