Ok I keep seeing this rule get butchered by fans and it came with a lot of misguided information early on. I've posted this multiple times and a few people have seen the posts but there are still a lot of people missing it. I'm hearing it a ton outside of the forums as well and it irks me.

First thing I'd like to point out is that this is the rule for players who were picked 1-4 in the draft, meaning it doesn't apply to other examples (CARL NEILL). So #1, we all know the compensation is a 5th overall pick. Most people know #2, he can be traded up until Sept. 15th for picks only. #3 is one that people miss often, they can trade him for picks only but they ALSO get the last pick in the 2nd round as compensation, on top of the 5th overall pick. Basically it's extra incentive to get the top 4 QMJHL pick in the league ASAP rather than having him play elsewhere. #4 is simply saying that if they wait until Christmas, they can only get a 5th overall pick for compensation (aka they lose that 2nd round pick) but they can then trade him for players. #7 is interesting because if they want to hold him hostage for another year, they not only waste that #1 pick last season but get no compensation, aka Roy not showing up means he wins - he'll be dealt unless Dumont wants to lose his job already lol

10.15.2 Compensatory draft pick process for players selected 1 through 4 in the first round
QMJHL Member Teams shall receive compensation for a first round 16 year old player selected with one of the first four (4) picks of the League’s Priority Selection Process who do not report to their hockey club based on the current League definition of a defected player.
Such compensation model shall be:
1. QMJHL Member Teams shall receive the fifth (5th) overall selection in the next QMJHL Priority Selection Draft.
2. Once the player has been deemed defected, as per definition, QMJHL Member Teams may trade such defected player to another QMJHL Member Team for draft picks only prior to September 15th of the following season.
3. If such team exercises their right to trade such player prior to September 15th, such team shall receive an additional second round selection at the conclusion of the second round in the following QMJHL Priority Selection Draft.
4. If the team should trade such player during the Christmas trading period in the year immediately following the QMJHL Priority Selection Draft in which such player was selected, such QMJHL Member Team shall receive the fifth (5th) overall selection only in the following QMJHL Priority Selection Draft with such selection varying from time-to-time based on the number of compensatory draft picks awarded in any given QMJHL Priority Selection Draft.
5. It should be understood that the compensatory draft pick shall be based on regular season standings of QMJHL Member Teams for the Priority Selection Draft in which the defected player was selected.
6. If the team should exercise their right to the fifth (5th) overall selection, such team must declare their intentions one week prior to the current QMJHL Priority Selection Draft and such player would re-enter the Priority Selection Process.
7. If the team should choose to keep the playing rights to such player, they shall not receive any compensation.
