Just for clarification and peace of mind, what is the deadline for the first round of offers? Is it July 17th at midnight Eastern Standard Time?

Tony is correct. The time and date above are the earliest you should send in your offers, as certain member(s) of the admin team will be submitting their offers befire that time so as not to see any offers in advance of the league wide offers (in the event the same players are being bid on). A notice will be sent out earlier if it is done earlier.

I always get confused when working with midnight deadlines...
So does that mean 12:01AM on July 17th we can begin sending our offers and the deadline is 12:01AM on the 20th? (just using that extra minute to determine what day these deadlines actually fall on)
Or is it more like 11:59PM on the 17th and 11:59PM on the 20th?

Is it correct that Glen Murray is a UFA? I was told by Cohen that he was re-signed, but I see no record of that from Reggie.
Question about RFAs:
Can they still accept their offer sheets? Can we withdraw them before they do?

I've made the adjustments for things that have been mentioned in this thread (ie Huet, Bourque).
I don't have the time to comb through the list for retired players, but if people want to mention them here, I'll remove them from the FA list.
I assume by offer sheet, you mean qualifying offer? If that is the case, we've never made a hard rule about the timing on this, other than if you withdraw the QO, the player becomes a free agent. Certainly through the first round free agency, the QO's will stand (and may be accepted). So you can't retain the player's rights by offering the standard QO, and than withdraw it while still holding their rights if that is your question.
And Glen Murray is a UFA, unless Cohen can produce a response from Reggie showing he accepted a deal. According the offer list, he rejected his last offer from Ottawa.

Thanks for the clarification. I may have just misinterpreted what Cohen was saying about Murray.
Of note, the Blues have submitted their free agent offers, so the market is now open. Tender your offers at will (in the proper format of course!)
Guys - a quick reminder to follow the formatting EXACLTY like it is proposed. Any difference and it simply doesn't input properly into the file, which means it has to be entered manually to be entered (which means it doesn't, because Reggie simply isn't manually inputting any offers, let alone 100's that are coming in).
Claudio, for the date, I believe it Sept 30th, but it could be the 15th, can't remember. If there is an offer for a college FA, where someone is off by a year, there will be some flexibility in adjusting the offers automatically to reflect the length it is supposed to be.

Reggie, could you possibly let us know which teams didn't submit it properly. I was pretty sure that I followed the format, but you can never be to sure I suppose. Or if not, can you confirm that the Panthers offers were correctly submitted?

I was one of them. If you are one of them, I assume he just zips an email back reminding you to submit in the proper format like he did for me.

Last night, probably around like 9-10ish. It went through for sure on my end because I Bcc'd myself to make sure that the format was fine (with the numbering and spacing).
