The only factors that affect players waiver eligibility are:
1.) Position (different rules for skaters and goalies)
2.) Age at the time of signing their entry-level contract
3.) Years from signing their entry-level contract
4.) Number of NHL games played
The 160 games applies only to players signed to their first contract at age of 18, 19 or 20. For older players (at the time of signing their first contract), the games played limit is lower. See page 66 of the CBA for details.
