Beedub my roster is still screwed on the client so I can't bid. I have 46 people on my roster but the portal says I have 52 so I can't bid on anyone. Please fix this before all the top options are gone!

To clarify something from the holy grail rule book

"RFA's during the RFA period prior to UFA period are open for bidding by any GM"

"Once the RFA period is over on Friday Sept 25, The UFA period will begin. Any RFA player that are not signed, becomes a UFA."

Now I didnt see a specific RFA period this time around, but it was specifically announced as UFA signing now. I placed bids on "RFA's", assuming they were UFAs based on the rules. I dont have enough picks to make all the offers i made if they need to be available in this next draft. Can we have a clarification on this as well as an edit to the rules if this is no longer accurately the case.

No there was no RFA period posted, but it will be Thursday, October 1 after preseason game action. Make sure you have the necessary picks for compensation

okay so this time it comes after UFA period instead of before? Good to know. Must the picks be from the next draft year? Otherwise my offer to Andre Burakovsky must be removed as I have a first and I have a third this year, but I dont have a 2cnd and the third is already being taken up by my other offer, so I would be unable to simply bump my offer up, plus my first is DAL pick and i cant use it for pick compensation and my third is already now lost to you for jeremy morion. I made all the bids based on RFA being before UFA as per the rule book. Again i'm fine with the change, but if so I need to have both Tampa offers removed as they both require picks i no longer have as I lost the one to you for jeremy morin.

Day 3

Chad Johnson - Blues - 1.367 m for 5 years
Eric Nystrom - Blues - 700k for 2 years
Rob Scuderi - Blues - 660k for 2 years
Willie Mitchell - Flames - 500k for 1 year

Okay, because according to the rulebook it said any offer over 863,556 needed athird round pick as compensation. Can we please get the rfastuff updated and cleared up in the rules? I'm not trying to complain, just understand

right you are, just refreshed my memory on pics and such, especially had to make sure i had enough for mine.

You have a single 3rd, so the first offer you qualify for, you'll be granted the player, subject to the former team's acceptance or rejection.

I will delete the others from your lineup, making them RFA\s once again.....

So that would be Jeremy morin with you. The other two (both with Tampa) need to be removed sadly

My other ones I made yesterday were both $1 under what I needed to give a pick for so Henrik samuelsson still should be there

I meant to say its $863,156 is the amount at which a 3rd round is owed. I misquoted the rule book before

hey bee,
I put in another bid
and put a single bid for the senators lol, just a back up goalie for them. I'm not sure what else to do for them at the moment, unless SWEEFISH comes back

I put in another couple bids too

How long do teams have to match or refuse offers on RFAs? Just so i know in terms of making my lines

might have a problem with only 10 teams being active during ufa window. might really handicap new gms coming in and taking over depleated teams

expansion draft?
