RFA rule clarification and ideas

[Anaheim GM]

Just posting this to know if we want to address the issues/ideas on RFA bidding/compensation/resigning from last year. If anyone would like to bring up an issue from last year or a potential one, here is the spot. We can discuss and possibly change before start of off season activities.

For instance:

A player is not bid upon in RFA bidding, then goes to be resigned by player owner at sub $1 M contract. Gets rejected by TAB. Player was not bid upon so - A - How do we determine value of a RFA who does not receive a bid? - B - If then said player goes to FA, does owner get compensation if players contract reaches compensation parameters?

Possible ideas as well. If a player is not bid upon in RFA bidding, perhaps EACH TAB member can present a contract they feel appropriate, then we can either average it out, or have commish make final ruling. Possibly a league poll to determine value. Then the owner can decide whether or not to accept the 1 year contract, or send player to FA.

Just throwing out ideas.

Im Bumping this as I feel there are more GMS around to view it.

[Habs GM (Jim)]

Yeah, I don't know how to make the RFA re-signing process easier.

I would like to move the TAB voting for approval down from 4 to 3. We only have 20 teams, so 4 votes in favour seems excessive.

I agree with Habs on that one.

[Kings Gm]

Would speed up the process too.

[Blackhawks GM]

this is my first year so have no experience either way. But the salary should start off at aleast last years salary, minimum. maybe plus 10%. if no one bids on the RFA and the original owner does not want they go to FA and can be signed for anything, except from the original owner

[Anaheim GM]

Not bad idea hawks.

Pretty sure that is how it goes anyways, Hawks..
