Free Agency Rules: Post Questions Here

[MatthewFlames]

There are some cases where GM's have had a player ranked lower than 1. on their list who wants to sign that offer.. this is for cases where the offer to that player is substantially higher than any other offer.

In those cases, it is required that those GM's make a decision about signing that player right away - so that Reggie knows if they still want to chase the top player in the list - hence Reggie has contacted a few GM's where that is the case - and that is the situation in mine. I don't know about all my FA offers, in fact I only know about this one offer...

10-4?

What's up with some GM's "Announcing" deals to come.....some folks getting info early?

It's more to do with priority lists and Reggie offering options.
Example Player A is 1st priority on a GM's list and is close enough to go to a 2nd round of bidding but Player B lower down the priority list would agree to sign outright. Reggie has sent some e-mails asking if the GM wants to just sign Player B or wait to see what happens in the secondary bidding for Player A before deciding on Player B. Obviously those that have already decided on the Player B option (I've done so twice) know that they are a done deal or at the very least if they are in the running for Player A.

This is a new twist Reggie has taken in an attempt to expedite the process given the huge volume of offers recieved not to mention the increased use of priority lists in the new cap world (I had one priority list that was 10 players deep).

D'oh! I didn't see Matt had already responded.

RFA Offer Sheet

Reggie,

How do you want to be informed (format or otherwise) about RFA who's teams are going to match offer sheets for their own RFA?

ie For Philly, we are going to match Detroit's offer to Mike Fisher.

Just flip Reginald a message indicating as much.

 

[SensGod]

When can we start offering UFA's offers for the 2007-2008 season? Is there a final list of all the UFA's this offseason?

 

[Default101]

So all these rules apply except the North American date is 1987 and the European date is 1985?

 

[kasper11]

Expect instructions from Reggie to be sent out in the near future.

 

[Tampa GM]

Is 8.0M$ still the max salary and 4 years the longest contract you can sign?

 

[Ohio Jones]

Is 8.0M$ still the max salary and 4 years the longest contract you can sign?

That has not changed.

Details, procedures and free agent lists are now available on the home page.
http://www.hfnhl.com/freeagency/index.html

If a player is listed that shouldn’t be, or a player is missing that should be (meaning they should not be a free agent), please advise Reggie Swingstein immediately ([email protected]). No offers should be forthcoming until mid next week, so that will give us time to make any necessary adjustments.

Questions on free agency should be posted here.

Matt Lombardi was signed and is not an RFA

 

[Dr.Sens(e)]

Matt Lombardi was signed and is not an RFA

This is correct - he's actually listed under UFA (non-qualified), so he should be removed.

 

[Dr.Sens(e)]

Of note, there are a few retired guys listed, as no effort was made as of yet to remove those who have already announced their retirement.

C. Huet Signed

Chritobel Huet San Jose 4 years x $3,200,000

 

[Tampa GM]

How do you know that Claudio? Arent you in charge of the Flyers ?

 

[Mandaou]

FA Message Board

Signings are on the message board.

 

[Dr.Sens(e)]

Chritobel Huet San Jose 4 years x $3,200,000

Correct - Huet resigned.

See, the "double check" comment was not without merit.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Rene Bourque was also re-signed by the Wild.

 

[SPG]

I'll make the necessary adjustments to the site within the next day or so.
