RFA re-signing instructions. Deadline Friday July 2, 11:59 PM Calgary time

[Jiri Hrdina]

Folks here are the instructions for re-signing your RFAs.

- 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 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)
- RFAs are 2 way deals
- You MUST have enough cap space to re-sign your UFAs, but you do NOT need cap space to re-sign your RFAs
- Do not send UFA deals yet. That'll be the next step.

NEXT STEPS:
- Submit the RFAs you wish to re-sign by Friday July 2 11:59 PM Calgary time.
- 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.

Might be a silly question, but if an ECHL player is rated, we sign him on the basis of his draft position and not the re-signing grid, correct?

Yup

[CaptainCrunch]

Thats the CPHLtrade yahoo address right.

[Jiri Hrdina]

Yup

[Harry Lime]

Is the place that they were drafted IRL or the CPHL draft?

[Jiri Hrdina]

Nhl

[TheScorpion]

Dang that Labanc contract I signed was a steal.

[BagoPucks]

July 2nd 11:59PM or July 3rd?

[Jiri Hrdina]

2nd

[MJK]

What happens if I send in my signed RFA's and then trade one of them to another team. Does the offer I made become null and void allowing the other GM to sign to whatever deal they want OR are they signed to whatever offer I made them?

[Jiri Hrdina]

yeah just send a note to cphltrade saying you've traded the player and to ignore that one.

[JonDuke]

How's this work for trades?

I want to trade a RFA right now but haven't sent in my RFA list yet.
Can I trade him and the new GM (who may have already submitted their own list) can then send in an additional email for this one piece?

[Jiri Hrdina]

Yeah that works.

[Harry Lime]

If an AHL player does not have a rating on the grid, what cap number should we re-sign them at?

[AustinL_NHL]

^ along the same lines, but I have a player on my NHL roster (Gregory Hoffman) that is unrated.

How does that work?

[Jiri Hrdina]

Use the minimum grid amounts in the spreadsheet.

ECHL contracts are 3 years?

2 years if they are a CPHL 1st round pick.

1. ECHL Contracts.
Starting with players drafted in 2015, all 1st round picks will be given 2 year ECHL contracts. Players drafted in remaining rounds will still be given 3 years ECHL contracts. These contracts will be based on CPHL draft position, not NHL draft position.
