Free agent groups
I always hear about group 2,3 and 6 for free-agents... But what are (or were,if they disappeared) the groups 1,4 and 5?

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS - GROUP 6
The following players qualify for unrestricted free agency, having met the requirements for Group 6 free agency. These players, whose contracts have expired, are age 25 or older, have completed three or more professional seasons, and (i) in the case of a player other than a goaltender, have played less than 80 NHL games (regular-season and playoff), or (ii) in the case of a goaltender, have played less than 28 NHL games (regular-season and playoff).
Not sure about 1, 4, 5.
EDIT: Sorry didn't read your question properly but I'll leave the above in case anyone was wondering what the differences were.
