Open Market period

Within the open market GM's must submit bids to the player agent.   There will be Multiple FA Rounds to do this, and only 10 offers per round. This will help spread out the Free Agents and Give everyone a chance at different guys. Free Agent signing will take place after each Round; until no more interest/Free agents left.
If your bid is accepted by the player then you MUST take that player at the salary you have stated.
A team can sign players even if it causes their team payroll to exceed the League Salary Cap (see the rule on the Team Salary Cap).
Teams that are currently over the cap have before day 1 (of the next season) needs to lower it below the actual fixed team pro salary cap.
This gives team’s ample time to make the adjustments necessary.
If there are unrestricted free agents that no team has interest in signing, they will be removed from the league.

FAQ / Concerns:

 The Agent is gonna be Fair.
 Don't worry about an RFA going to UFA. If you want him bad enough, you'll Sign him without loosing him to UFA status. In the end if you don't like the price, you deal that player and get something for him, instead of getting nothing. Salaries are going to be compared by NHL, but not in all cases, but most. 
AS for the UFA's, When the Open Market begins for the UFA's, every team gets to start bidding on them. Keep in mind that UFA's and RFA;s  in the STHL will be looking for similar money to what they are making in the NHL.
Once Each FA Round is over, there will be FA signings. Remember 10 OFFERS per round.
