Rick Grimes Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Announcement regarding re-signing of players VC and I have decided to try a new process of re-signing players We have decided that each team is limited in the amount of UFAs they can re-sign If a team has 1-5 UFAs, they will only be able to re-sign a max of 2 UFAs If a team has 6-9 UFAs, they will only be able to re-sign a max of 3 UFAs If a team has 10+ UFAs, they will only be allowed re-sign a max of 4 UFAs This is for UFAs only, and does not apply to RFAs UFAs buried in the AHL do not count towards a team's UFA # Players who have signed their allotted UFAs are more than welcome to negotiate with their remaining free agents during the Free Agency period This new system is intended to do a number of things 1- Strengthen the free agent pool in a fair manner 2- Adds more strategy to the re-sign phase 3- Limits the number of players that are re-signed just for the hell of it I am sure that we will encounter a speed bump or two in this process, but we will deal with them when we get there. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklax Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Interesting idea with free agency. Despite having a lot of pending ufa's I like the idea as it doesn't restrict RFA's which is good, benefits teams that can draft well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Not bad for this year... but looks like next year I can only re-sign 4 of: Ryan Kesler Brad Marchand Alex Burrows Kevin Bieksa Dan Hamhuis Erik Johnson Tim Gleason Steve Downie Nikita Filatov Frans Nielsen That sucks.

Dion Phaneuf Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 This is great news for Minnesota. We're hoping for a big cap increase so we can dish out $200 million to this year's best UFAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I just hope it doesn't limit the amount of potential trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Glad to hear the league will have a better Free Agency. I tried to do this in my own way without rules but bitching bitching bitching.. If it takes rules then so be it, glad it can happen in the end. Luckily for Niloc i have all the stars signed for at least the next 3 years.

canucklax Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I just hope it doesn't limit the amount of potential trades. I think it could increase rental trades at the deadline. Last year I know many valuations between teams would be different as one side thinks the guy would sign, the other didn't. Now, if you know each team's number of ufa's signed, it can become clearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Looks like I can only sign 3 of: Anderson Spezza Connolly Matthias Steckel Armstrong White Alberts McLaren Picking 3 of those will be hard, especially since 2 of them are obvious. Any of these players are OTB except for Spezza, Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Looking at my list. I am pretty sure I know 2 guys I am going to sign. The 3rd one will be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Wait but can players still reject to sign a offer to resign with a club? That would make things really interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Phaneuf Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 He'll reject and sign with Minnesota. We'll then bring former Wild, Daniel Alfredsson out of retirement and ice a line consisting of Heatley, Spezza, and Alfie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
