Someone correct me if I'm wrong:
The player has to have been on your roster at the previous trade deadline for you to sign a player to an 8 year contract.
However, If a player becomes an UFA, even their previous team cannot sign them to an 8 year deal. As soon as the July 1 deadline passes, and a player becomes a UFA, that extra year cannot be done.
