Free agency opens August 25th (8PM ET)

 

UFA (Transactions/unrestricted free agents) and RFA (Transactions/ Restricted Free Agents)players (scroll to the bottom to see goaltenders).

 

 

When you go check UFA and RFA, its possible certain players already got an offer, click the second tab (UFAs/RFAs with Offers) 24 hours after the first offer made to a player, you won't be allowed to make an offer so act fast, the player will select the best 3 offers and move to the deciding section (3rd tab) for another 24 hours. Portal will select between offers, 60% for the best offer, 30% for the second one and 10% for the least best offer. 

 

Remember, all contracts of $1.5mil + per season, players can't be sent to the minors, NHL only.

 

Maximum amount of players: 40

 

If you make an offer to a RFA, you need to have the picks accordingly to the chart as a compensation in case his former team does not match your offer.

(Picks from the next 2 years)

 

so for example, if you make an offer of $4.5 million per season to a RFA, you will need one 1st round pick and one 3rd pick in the next 2 draft years. The team owning the player will have 2 (two) days to match the offer. The team acquiring the player will decide what picks are being sent to the other team in case they have several picks available in a specific round.

 

 

You can NOT make offers to your own RFAs until August 28th. After August 30th, all RFAs who haven't received an offer will become UFA. (edited)

 

Use this chart for the RFA, as the one on the portal is hard coded, and I wont have time to reprogram it before Thursday.
