Free Agents
The best CBD for athletes
There are two types of free agents in the STHL.
Restricted free agents are players whose contract is expiring and are 26 and down.
UFA age is 27, but he's only a UFA if he is 27 by July 1st. So that is the cutoff age for Free Agents. If he becomes 27 after July 1st, he will be a UFA next offseason.
The team they are on has no right to compensation but they can put a bid in for the player
Teams will be able to Re Sign their own RFA's, and 1 UFA. (due to the Loyalty factor)
Re-Signing Restricted Free Agents
Teams with Restricted Free Agents (in their final year of their current contract) are allowed to negotiate a Contract Extension. Commissioner Will let you know when this happens. Usually, around New year - till mid-July.
Contract Extensions will be added to the player during the Season.
If your RFA is not signed by Deadline, He will be declared a Unrestricted Free Agent.
Loyalty Factor
The Loyalty factor enables team to negotiate with 1 UFA.
The Commisioner Will let you know when GM's can RE Sign there 1 UFA, as well as the deadline to do so.

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.
