Saturday night @ 7pm EST is the deadline to get your RFA's resigned.
Please note this does NOT include guys looking for their ELC (entry level contract). ELC's will be tackled after he draft. A player cannot sign a new RFA deal until he has one in the NHL, so those players will be exempt from the RFA process.
Another reminder, you do no have to qualify your RFA to maintain his rights, if you have implemented his data into the sheet and don't want to sign him at that right now, you can let him choose to test the RFA waters and either match or accept compensation.

Should that read UFA waters?
Also, does the players RFA offers drop by any kind of formula if they test UFA and no one wants them?

no that should read RFA waters. With us using the shet, with no negotiations, this gives teams an option.
IF they don't receive an RFA offer, no they wouldn't drop in value, you could then either sign them to a contract based on the sheet, or they would be a holdout.
