I would imagine so...or pretty close to free...i am sure there is cash involved.....perhaps Philly moves up in the draft and gets the better of the 2 3rd round picks? Basically....futures is never much at all.

I'm reading a lot of Zetterberg and the Leafs with either the Leafs trading for him or putting him on an offer sheet.
The Rangers are interested in Tie Domi and Ziggy Palffy. |

I hear it spun as a possible three-way deal involving Boston and Joe Thornton. With Thornton coming to Detroit. No idea where these are coming from.

Obviously. Palffy's the type of enforcer the Rangers covet. Anywho, if the Rangers have signed Nieminen and eventually sign Domi. I think they should try to bring back Barnaby. A Nieminen/Barnaby/Domi line would be the greatest thing invented. Cocky and Funny. |

Dan McGillis - $8.4 million/2 years
Vladimir Malakhov - $7.2 million/2 years I think Lou was a bit desperate after losing Niedermayer... Malakhov more than Hatcher or Rathje? McGillis more than Foote? Can you see McGillis getting $5.6 million pre-rollback? Last edited by Karim : 08-04-2005 at 03:17 PM. |

the devs D has potential, but overall, i think Philly will steamroll us. Stevens head is still a questionmark. White is a goon, 4th D at best. Martin and Hale are still quite young and have a ways to go. I like Rafalski, but he's not all that big. And neither are any of our fowards, really. Plus, Elias' health is still a question mark. I love the Devs, but I'm worried. |

I'd say "those numbers must be wrong", but they've been right every time I've said that so far. Lamoriello has really made a mess for himself. If you figure Rafalski got at least 3, that only leaves 12 million to sign Gomez, Elias, Friesen, White, Martin, Kozlov, Langenbrunner, Hale, Gionta, Brown, and a backup for Brodeur. Some of those guys are going to have to go. Edit: it turns out Rafalski got 4.2 per. There could be some confusion between his deal and the one McGillis got. If they both got 4.2, ouch.

Knowing Lou, he has to have some sort of plan. I'm hoping those numbers aren't right for the D-men, but with Niedermeyer gone he probably did have to overpay a bit.

How do RFA's work? I see people talking about having to sign all their RFA's -- at this point aren't they supposed to be UFA's? Can someone walk me through this as I'm confused by the RFA's!

RFA's are restricted free agents. Teams had to give them a qualifying offer for the team to retain their rights. If they did not make a qualifying offer, the player would become a unrestricted free agent. Players earning $660,000 or less will be entitled to qualifying offers (QO) at 110% of their prior year's salary; players earning more than $660,000 and up to $1 million will be entitled to QOs at 105% of prior year's salary; players earning more than $1 million will be entitled to QO at 100% of their prior year's salary. |

The comments on signing the RFAs is to sign them to long term contracts. I am not sure what happens if the player hasn't signed the qualifying offer yet. I would think until that happens they don't count against the cap.

Ah -- so pretty much all RFA's were qualified, and they'll only change teams if they can't reach long-term deals and teams don't want them for one season (and decide to trade them).
There won't be an exodus of RFA's hitting the market, since they've all arleady been qualified? Thanks! ~rpi-fan

The other option is that another team can make them an offer but the losing team will receive draft pick compensation if they don't match the offer sheet.

That remains to be seen. The new CBA actually lowered the compensation (given in draft picks) teams have to give up for signing another team's RFA. Combined with the lower (well, theoretically) salaries because of the cap, that may make it plausible for teams to go after restricted players that are mid-level talents and are stuck with low qualifying offers. There's been some talk, for example, that teams could really put pressure on the Flyers, even after the Roenick move, by offering deals to RFA's like Simon Gagne, Kim Johnsson and Robert Esche. Bob Clarke may not have the cap room to sign all of them if they can get deals in the $2-3 million range elsewhere. Esche, for one, has a qualifying number barely above the minimum salary; if another team offered him anything up to $2 million, all they'd have to give the Flyers is a second-round pick (assuming the Flyers don't match the offer, which they have the right to do.) Not a bad deal for a team that needs a goalie. The RFA market is going to be interesting to watch in the next few weeks, once this feeding frenzy on the UFA's is done. |

Jovo, Ohlund, tho both have expressed an interest in long term deals. Edit. Lecavalier. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...31/?hub=Canada Adding to the intrigue is that GMs have one eye on this year's crop and another on the 2006 free-agent list. Liberalized free agency kicks in next summer when players with eight years of NHL experience or anyone 29 and younger can qualify for unrestricted free agency if they're out of a contract. The likes of Joe Thornton, Vincent Lecavalier, Jose Theodore, Ed Jovanovski, Wade Redden, Zdeno Chara, Sergei Samsonov, Jarome Iginla, Marty Turco, Ryan Smyth, Patrick Elias, Evgeni Nabokov, Chris Pronger and Patrick Marleau could all be available to the highest bidder next summer if they don't sign long-term deals in the interim -- a younger and more talented group than this year's list. You can scratch Iginla and Pronger off that list Last edited by SoxWin : 08-04-2005 at 05:23 PM. |
