For Calgary:
Remove Jason Arnott (now with the Oilers)
Remove Brett Festerling (now with the RedWings)
I'm sorry, what file am I supposed to be checking And what sheet in what file? When I open the Roster and Free Agency file, and click on the Roster Players sheet, Columbus, Chicago and Colorado are not represented.
When I click on the pivot table, my data is virtually unreadable due to formatting I'm not allowed to change (because it's a pivot table).
Having said that, the re-signings listed in the 2010 Free Agency file for Columbus are correct.
When are qualifying offers due on upcoming RFA's? Do we just send it to the agents?
Give us a day or two and we will figure out the details and off season schedule...
In order to minimize work, I think there should only be 1 qualifying Offer email per team. So if you are planning to send an offer to sign your RFA than you should wait until there is no possibility to sign a player. The QO email should the last email for each team to submit.
I will discuss with Reggie and Mickey to see what should be the cut off date.
I get a little confused about this stuff. Wouldn't virtually any offer on a RFA be enough to be considered a QO? Most RFAs are on rookie or near rookie contracts and virtually any raise will be enough to satisfy the QO requirements wouldn't it?
No, QO is based on players current HFNHL salary. If a player is making below $1,000,000 than the QO has to be 10% more than his current HFNHL salary.
No I understand that part. It always sounds as though QOs are a seperate thing that need to be sent for RFAs if you can't come to terms on a new contract. Let's try an example...
Paul Stastny last year was making $850k in the HFNHL but had a NHL contract of $6.6M. I offered him $5M or whatever it was, which was rejected. Does that not count as a QO on the player? I offered WAY more than the min 10% raise that's required to retain his rights.
If it does count then I guess I'm just not following correctly because it sounds like we need to send in QOs on all unsigned RFAs before FA starts regardless of what negotiations we've had previous.
Yes, in the NHL it may count but with 30 teams and 100's of email, it is better to get one email indicating that you are offering a QO.
