Gentleman,
The following rule changes will be put in place effective immediately.
1. During the FA period in the summer, teams will have to offer at least $2 million (so a guaranteed/one way contract) in order to get into the 2nd round of bidding (inside the 80%) for a player...if said player has at least one offer above $2 million.
*e.g. If Player A receives two contract offers. One at $1,999,99 and one at $2,000,000, he will sign the $2,000,000 offer immediately and not go to a second round of bidding.
2. During the summer FA period, RFA offers from another team (an offer sheet) need to be at least 75% of said players NHL contract in order to be accepted on a one or two year deal. In order to be accepted for a long term deal, said offer sheet needs to be at 100% of their NHL deal.
3. During the free agency period, teams are only allowed to offer one year deals to their OWN RFA's. Should there be no other offer, they will sign the one year deal, pending it is within the 75% of their NHL deal (see above). Should no offers come in for the player, the RFA will NOT sign and negotiations will need to happen between the player agents and the HFNHL team, where they can figure out a new deal. If said player does not like the offers, the opportunity for a hold out could present itself.
4. The UFA age will be reduced to 27 years old (as of September 15).
