The List of UFA in the BRHL2
Permalink  

The list is of players who will indeed be UFA in the upcoming off season. It doesn't include a few more, as the Senators decide whether to protect Linden or Sanderson and the Coyotes will decide whether to keep Shanahan or R. Blake, and whether Stillman or Perreault. And of course some g.m.s might not exercise their right to tag this season, preserving the option for after next season.

The following have been traded or are otherwise ineligible to be tagged and so will assuredly go to the highest bid in the coming offseason.

NHL Stats as of Friday, February 16th, 2007.

Forwards

Jaromir Jagr 21 g, 49 a
Mats Sundin 23 g, 30 a
Joe Sakic 26 g, 42 a
Martin Straka 26 g, 37 a
Mark Recchi 19 g, 34 a
Mike Sillinger 19 g, 26 a, 3:38 PK time/g (Top-10 among NHL forwards)
Scott Walker 17 g, 22 a
Doug Weight 6 g, 32 a
Tomas Holmstrom 20 g, 20 a
Martin Rucinsky 12 g, 21 a
Eric Lindros 5 g, 21 a
Derek Armstrong 9 g, 30 a
Bryan Smolinski 12 g, 21 a, 47 blocked shots
Steve Rucchin 5 g, 16 a, 51 takeaways
Chris Simon 5 g, 17 a, 84 hits
Jeremy Roenick 7 g, 12 a, 68 hits
Stephane Yelle 4 g, 8 a, 44 hits
Petr Nedved 2 g, 10 a

Quality. Good one.

Ulanov didn't play this year so will not be rated in the BRHL2 next season and Rivers is only 30 and hence a RFA.

The big UFA forwards have been at it this weekend, adding to their totals: two goals by Sundin, a goal and an assist by Straka, assists by Jagr, Sakic, Weight, Recchi.

Will be an interesting free agency!

i think it unlikely any one team can expect to land 3-4 quality UFAs.

And the bidding will likely keep rising to an eight-digit figure! given how few quality goaltenders and defensemen there are.

I really don't think any of these guys deserve eight-digit money, I guess we'll see but whoever goes with that will be in cap trouble.

No I didn't. Madden started the season as a Flame and could technically be TAGGED as the Lowe Tag.

The list is only the guarranteed UFAs. Not those that are up to the decision of the g.m.s with tags to use.

If one has to give huge raises to RFA like Bergeron, Tanguay, Briere, have plenty of other RFA to sign like Turco, Arnason, Higgins, White and have relatively big multi-year contracts for the likes of Lecavalier, Roberts and Hatcher... then there will be cap issues!

Hard to add superstar free agents when one has to re-sign a few oneself, eh there in Tampa?

If one doesn't even have 10 players playing regularly in the NHL on their team most of which are 4th line players then there will be talent issues.
eh there in New York?

and by the way don't worry about me, I got plenty of caproom but to spend 25% of your caproom on one player, good luck filling the rest of your team.

7,600,000 is the max....and if i went to kindergarden...and i did..that is 7 digits. haha jk.
I guess thats a problem that needs to be resolved. Will UFA agents be able take on more than the min? I guess i'll say that I am not directly opposed to going over the cap i just think we need to know what the process is of which team the UFA decides to go for.

Presently that happens to be the highest salary. Is it a set maximum?

As for free agency, we can add half the salary in a bonus, which will be calculated such that a one-year 7.6 mill offer plus 3.8 mill bonus is a 11.4 mill offer.

There are only three or four superstars and it's unclear how many g.m.s will be competing for them, but obviously there will be some bidding wars.

I checked with Eric and it's not a set maximum, there isn't one at the moment, I suggested having one like the NHL at 20% of the cap but then how do you decide if you have 2 offers that are the same?
I guess if you do inclue signing bonuses we will see 8 digit offers.

I think the signing bonus of 50% is completely unrealistic. It's SOO dumb, and in my opinion could ruin the league. IF were trying to make this thing as much like the real nhl as we can we should stick to like 20%-25% max signing bonuses.

RFA bonuses are already being restricted to like 15-20%, if we restrict UFA bonuses as well then money becomes totally useless and that,s not what we were told.

<sigh>... we've been down this road already. Yes, 50% is unrealistic and no, money wouldn't become totally useless, but yes, the issue's been settled.
