2022 Player Deactivations

[Kevin]

The following list of players are scheduled to not be eligible for EHE play in the 2022-23 season, due to retirement or transfer agreements they have with teams in Europe or Asia. You may still retain their rights depending on their contract situation and age. Later in the offseason, GMs will also have the right to elect three of their own players on this list to remain active for next season, if they are under contract for the 2022-23 season and physically capable of playing, have not retired, and were not already chosen for reactivation last season.

For specific information about a player's status, please check the transactions tab on a player's bio or the league transactions history.
