I think it has to be your own 1st in '08...

what if a team doesnt own one can they not bid on him?

that's where the following year's 1st rounder would be used, probably

As far as I know you must have appropriate compensation in order to bid. That would be a 1st rounder this year, or one next year as long as you've paid for next year.

I honestly don't think that is right... It has to be a 2008 first rounder in my opinion. And if you don't have one, it should have to be better than the one you have (not worse), or additional compensation (i.e. 2nd rounder) should be due.

Islanders GM · Senior Member

you'd think the committee would decide what adequate compensation would be in such cases

HOTLANTA · Guru

but as a team id want to know what the compensation would be before offerin on a rfa LIKE avery... (is huselius going to be in this group with avery i see he still hasnt signed a contract)

Islanders GM · Senior Member

offer Huselius a qualifying offer and he won't go on the market.

he's 28 years old... he's got a qualifying offer but doesn't like it, so he doesn't get paid and doesnt play... until hell freezes over, they reach an agreement or he becomes UFA age, whichever comes first

Huselius signed, he's irrelevant.

If you dont have a 1st rounder, you would't be able to bid on him, just like in the NHL (though we don't specify it has to be your own pick)

PhoenixGM · Guru

If you have two first rounders, one your own, and one someone elses... who's do you use? I'd say it's up to the team giving up the pick, but that's my opinion.

If the team has their own it's got to be that pick. However, I wouldnt be opposed to if the team has 2 picks and neither are their own, then the team could pick.

I woudl concur with Luke on that one
