Stoke me a clipper.
Actually, Kylington needs a contract this year.Valimaki and Dube and Kylington need new contracts next year guys btw...
They won't break bank but it would be wise not to wreck all of our cap space on over 30 players.
Valimaki needs one next year but he's not eligible to be offer sheeted if he receives a qualifying offer, according to Capfriendly. No idea how that works exactly - can the Flames say "here's a three year deal based on your QO?" and he has to take it? (now that I think about it I think a qualifying offer is one year)
A player becomes a free agent when their contract expires on July 1 after the last League Year of their contract. A player who does not meet the UFA requirements or the Group 2 RFA requirements displayed in the table above, and has been issued a qualifying offer, is designated a 10.2(c) player. The player is only eligible to negotiate and sign a contract with the club that holds their signing rights. They are ineligible to negotiate a contract (offer sheet) with any other club. They are also ineligible for arbitration. If the player does not receive a qualifying offer by June 25th at 5:00pm ET, they immediately become a UFA.
