-- A team can have multiple offer sheets active, provided it has the necessary draft picks available to offer as compensation.

-- Clubs owing one (1) draft selection must have it available in the next draft.

-- Clubs owing two (2) draft selections in different rounds must have them available in the next draft.

-- Clubs owing three (3) draft selections in different rounds must have them available in the next draft.

-- Clubs owing two (2) draft selections in the same round, must have them available in the next three (3) drafts.

-- Clubs owing three (3) draft selections in the same round must have them available in the next four (4) drafts, and so on.

When a Club owes two (2) or more draft selections in the same round, the signing Club does not elect the years in which such selections shall be awarded to the Prior Club; rather, the selections next available will be transferred to the Prior Club (i.e., a Club that owes two (2) selections has them available in the next two (2) drafts – that is when they are transferred).

Draft picks may be your own, or others you have acquired via trade. The team gaining the compensation reserves the right to choose the pick when multiple 1st picks are available.
