Free Agents can be found on the Main Website or at the following Links: All players in there are UFA!!
Gabriel Landeskog
Jonathan Toews
Nicklas Backstrom
Carter Hart
Since these 4 players have low ratings, its only fair to have them HOLD OUT for this Season, Next year they should have ratings if they are playing in the NHL this season. So Landeskog, J.Toews, N.Backstrom, C.Hart WILL NOT be available in Free Agency.
Open Market period
Open Market: Aug. TBA or later (date subject to change, depending on the offseason schedule.) and until the start of the season.
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.
Players Signed during the UFA Open Market Period, will be given a 41 Game NTC (No Trade Clause)
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.
FAQ / Concerns:
The Agent is gonna be Fair.
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.
