There are dozens of players who have not accepted an offer yet, but still may, depending on the final offers coming from their respective team. Keep in mind players all had different loyalty factors when signed and also signed at different times during the season (when they might have been on better, or worse pace). For instance, if Jason Blake had a '6' in stead of the '1' and the offer had come in later in the year (in stead of being one of the first offers), he would never have signed that deal. Pending RFA's have been listed and while they do not have a loyalty factor, their current HFNHL salary (and what their QO would have been) in addition to the number of years of free agency they were potentially giving up factored into the negotiations.
Would anyone be interested in a list of all possible UFA's being part of this post? If a few people say yes I'd be happy to assemble it.
If no one has any objections, I'm going to unstick this thread, seeing as all of the relevant info can now be found on our homepage.
It might be good to have as a cross-reference, but we could always look through our board history if we end up needing it.
