top cheese Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This might be released and I haven't seen it but how are teams going to acquire players is there just a free for all for signing players? some sort of allocation draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Complete Homer Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Paul Beirne mentioned in an interview with a coaching magazine that there will likely be some sort of mechanism to allow fair distribution of players initially given the size of the pool (IIRC he mentioned a possibility of a draft but I don't think anything was set), but that the league plans to move away from non-traditional mechanisms after an initial window ^paraphrasing from memory, might not be 100% accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copes Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 So what is the "initial pool" going to look like? Players playing internationally who have expressed interest? Some sort of draft from amateur leagues? Something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 He also said there will be some form of protection for "local" talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I would think this would mostly be players in pro leagues around the world who will be out of contract/released by club or those under contract who have expressed interest in a move home!

Yoginess Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I hope there is enough buzz amongst Canadians who are hacking it in the 3rd division of Other-Side-Of-The-Globe-istan to want to be part of CPL year 1. If that's the case I bet you there will be a bunch of Canadian players (unknown to us) who pop up. Suddenly the pool grows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always figured it'd be a league-wide draft, with each club carefully determining their selections as follows:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz-PtEJEaqY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
