What are the rules that determine if a player is waiver eligible? I'm referring particularly to historical games where waivers didn't actually exist, but the game still uses them. Some players (but not all) will display a year next to their waiver eligible status - how is that calculated?

There seems to be an age limit of over-25 , but I've seen players as young as 22 being waiver eligible, so it clearly also depends on their contracts and the length of time (games played?) spent in the league.

It's confusing as during pre-season everyone is set to 'No' so they can be moved freely. Perhaps it would be better to display their true status, but ignore it except during the regular season.
