To inform a given league they're open to playing there. They just have to be age eligible for that league's draft, athletes don't have to apply or enter for a specific draft. Heck, they don't even have to play the sport. Dave Winfield was drafted by the MLB, the NBA, and the ABA. The Minnesota Vikings also drafted him in the NFL even though Winfield had never even played college football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus has a ROW of 39. Panthers have a ROW of 38. To tie CBJ, the Panthers have to win all their games and CBJ lose all of theirs (i.e. staying at ROW 39). Panthers can overtake CBJ in ROW.

canuck_in_england Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Can someone explain how a player becomes a restricted free agent rather than unrestricted? All I can find is that if they don't qualify to be unrestricted then they are restricted. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can find is that if they don't qualify to be unrestricted then they are restricted. Cheers! Here's an article that explains it. Fundamentals of the NHL’s Free Agent System Quote In the NHL, free agency dates to 1972, when the league granted players some restricted rights, but it wasn't until 1995 that players got the right to unrestricted free agency. The 2013 collective bargaining agreement, which is a 10-year agreement, lays out the rules on NHL free agents. Unrestricted NHL Free Agents Here is the breakdown of some of the key rules governing the NHL's unrestricted free agents: The 27-or-7 Benchmark—Any player whose contract has expired can declare himself an unrestricted free agent if he is at least 27 years old or has at least seven years playing as an NHL player. The Free Agency Period—Free agency begins on the first day of July. At that point, an unrestricted free agent is free to negotiate and sign a contract with any NHL team. In the negotiations for the most recent CBA, the NHL sought to move the beginning date to July 10, but the union resisted. Free Agent Interviews (last updated in 2013)—Unrestricted free agents may meet and interview with potential new teams from the day after the NHL Entry Draft (but not later than June 25) until June 30. Seven-Year Maximum (last updated in 2013)—A term limit of seven years is set for contracts signed by unrestricted free agents. No Compensation—Teams losing unrestricted free agents do not receive any compensation. Under the collective agreement that existed prior to 2005, teams received draft picks as compensation. Restricted Free Agents Players who are no longer considered entry-level but do not qualify as unrestricted free agents become restricted free agents when their contracts expire. The current team must extend a "qualifying offer" to a restricted free agent to retain negotiating rights to that player. For an offer to be qualifying: Players who earned less than $660,000 in the previous season must be offered 110 percent of last season's salary. Players making up to $1 million must be offered 105 percent. Players making over $1 million must be offered 100 percent. If the team does not make a qualifying offer, the player becomes an unrestricted free agent. If the player rejects a qualifying offer, he remains a restricted free agent. Offer Sheets and Restricted Free Agents An offer sheet is a contract negotiated between an NHL team and a restricted free agent on another team. The offer sheet includes all the terms of a standard player contract, including length, salary, and bonuses. A player who has signed a qualifying offer or is going to salary arbitration with his original team cannot sign an offer sheet. Key elements of offer sheets include: Accept or Decline—When an offer sheet is signed, the player’s current (original) team is notified. That team can keep the player under the terms of the offer sheet, or decline and let the player join the new team under those terms. The original team has seven days to make its decision. No Turning Back—Once a player signs an offer sheet, the original team cannot negotiate a new contract under different terms or trade the player’s rights. Its only options are to accept or decline the offer sheet. The No-Trade Clause—If the original team chooses to accept, or match, the offer sheet, the player cannot be traded for one year. Compensation—If the original team declines the offer sheet and loses the player, it receives draft picks from the player’s new team as compensation. Compensation for losing a restricted free agent is on a sliding scale, depending on how much the new contract is worth. The exact numbers change every year. The most a team can lose for signing an RFA is four first-round draft picks. Salary Arbitration and December 1 Deadline A team or player can file for salary arbitration as a mechanism to settle contract disputes. A team can take a player to arbitration once in his career and cannot ask for a salary reduction greater than 15 percent. Players can ask for salary arbitration as often as they want. Restricted free agents must sign NHL contracts by December 1, or they are not eligible to play in the NHL for the rest of the season.

I'm pretty sure they're counted as a separate franchise. They folded in the mid 30s completely. Just like the old Jets and the new Jets are considered separate franchises for record-keeping purposes. The Cup for the Millionaires in 1915 is also never attributed to the Canucks franchise, in the same way.

Officially, they can't announce/sign until 9am, but a lot of info gets out on unofficial deals in the hours just prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot have two captains. From the NHL Rulebook: 6.1 Captain - One Captain shall be appointed by each team, and he alone shall have the privilege of discussing with the Referee any questions relating to interpretation of rules which may arise during the progress of a game. He shall wear the letter “C,” approximately three inches (3'') in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of his sweater. No co-Captains are permitted. Either one Captain and no more than two Alternate Captains, or no Captain and no more than three Alternate Captains are permitted (see 6.2). 6.2 Alternate Captains – If the permanent Captain is not on the ice, Alternate Captains (not more than two) shall be accorded the privileges of the Captain. Alternate Captains shall wear the letter “A” approximately three inches (3'') in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of their sweaters. Only when the Captain is not in uniform, the Coach shall have the right to designate three Alternate Captains. This must be done prior to the start of the game.

Carolina has 2 captains - Staal and Faulk. They alternate. Edited July 28, 2018 by mll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question from IBatch proposed that the Leafs be the first team to have two, which I took as meaning two players wearing the C at the same time, and that's not allowed. Technically, regardless of what Carolina calls them, they aren't co-captains. They are two guys that alternate who is the captain. Unless IBatch thought that no team had ever done what Carolina was doing, then in that case, I misunderstood his proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck_in_england Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 With all the talk of Pettersson maybe being a centre for us but seems he may struggle with faceoffs (according to the youngs stars thread), my question is do centres have to take faceoffs according to the rulebook or can anyone take them?

Cheers in advance... Any skater can take a face off, centers get "tossed out" of the circle a lot and any winger can take his place. Also one game Kevin Bieksa took a face off to save a rookie center from getting into a fight off the drop of a puck. I do not know if the goalie can take a face off, but even if he is "allowed " to it would be a poor choice as his stick would be terrible for a draw and after losing, the puck would end up in his empty net.
