Hey folks
Here is an update on our next key off-season activity: RFA Re-signing

We have released a new version of the ratings that now includes contract grid amounts for RFAs and UFAs.
You can find them here: http://cphl.calgarypuck.com/pages/si...Grids_UPD.xlsx

Some notes

- The ratings have not changed. Rather for each player you can now see their UFA re-signing amount and RFA amounts for 1, 2 and 3 year deals.
- If a player is signed for this upcoming season - you don't need to worry about it. If a player is a free agent and 29 or over - use the UFA grids. 28 and under - the RFA grids.
- If a player does not have a gird amount you can sign them for the minimum (the amounts at the bottom of the list)
- Overall these grids are not too different from what we used last year.
- As always, if you re-sign UFAs they are 1 way deals. RFAs are 2 way deals
- You MUST have enough cap space to re-sign your UFAs, but you don't need cap space to re-sign your RFAs
- That's just all information to think about your decision. You should NOT send in your UFAs right now. You can include ECHLers that you need to sign at this point per below.

You'll also see where the re-call waiver cut off point is for forward, D and G. As a reminder this means that all players need to be in the CPHL are 23 years or younger AND have a rating above the threshold, otherwise they will be subject to re-call waivers. These players will need to be recalled by the RFA re-signing deadline (below). The rating thresholds are 66 and above (Forwards), 67 and above (D) and 81 and above (goalies)

NEXT STEPS:
- Submit the RFAs you wish to re-sign by Tuesday July 9th 11:59 PM Calgary time. This is also the deadline for recalling any players 24 years or younger above the rating threshold
- This should be done by emailing cphltrade the following (send it all in one email, not an email for each player). Please follow this format.
- The name of the player be signed, OVR, number of years you are signing them to, and the corresponding grid amount.
- A list of players you are NOT re-signing
- Please include any ECHLers that have 0 years remaining. You can also sign other ECHlers with term remaining but there is no deadline for this yet. ECHL contracts are based on where they were drafted in the NHL:
1st Round = Picks 1-10: $1.35 million, Picks 11-20: $1.15 million, Picks 21+: $1 million*
2nd Round = $0.75 million*
3rd Round and beyond = $0.5 million*

After RFA re-signing we will have UFA re-signing and then UFA bidding.

There is a lot in this post, so please read carefully and ask questions. No question is dumb. If you are confused, chances are someone else is.
