[Ohio Jones]

So just Washington and Anaheim now? Has anyone called Gledhill? Not sure what state his noggin is in, might not have been up to responding just yet. As for Josh, surprised he's not done sent a list in -- anyone have him on MSN?

I didn't see anything particularly attractive in free agency to send a UFA contract towards, with all things considered. I figured that the only guys i'd want i'd have to overpay for and i'm not interested in that. In terms of RFA players, there were a lot of guys i'd like but I don't have the compensation needed to make offers. That kind of leaves me with.... nobody to offer towards.

If my roster doesn't have enough players, i'll sign some from my prospects list. If that will suffice as a list, then i'll go ahead and send that in!

 

[Wildman]

Well...all are in except for Anaheim.

 

[HFNHL Commish]

Ducks offers are in at the wire.

Oh dear. I hope that we hven't overlooked communicating an important part of the rules for you, Josh. The lists of UFAs and RFAs provided are those players *already in teh league*. There is an important third class of players you are eliible to sign, that is players who are past draft eligibility, but who are not already signed in the HFNHL. Obvious examples this year are guys like Jonas Gustavsson, Tyler Bozak and Matt Gilroy, and there are many, many others who might be worthy of consideration.

Even a team that is not interested in any of the established players available in Free Agency should usually have at least a few "prospecting" type signings like these that they want to pursue... and those offers are submitted at the same time.
