Free Agency

  Free Agency 2025 is upon us.  Before we get into it I'd just like to thank every GM for their dilligence during the draft and the off season in general.  I've never seen a smoother transition in the almost 20 years I've been involved.  Great group of guys and an admin team that is generous with their time.  This is what makes a league great.  If anyone wants to contribute to the costs of running the league, donations can be submitted to Kirk.

  Now let's get to it.  Free agency.  You can find all the information you need under the rules section but here is a quick overview of how it will proceed.

-The deadline for posting your RFA and UFA(2) is July 18th at 10pm eastern.

-Do not send in any offers until Monday, July 14th as Randy is still sifting through the remnants of the draft and trades.  He needs to process all of this before he gets inunded yet again with emails.

-Each team will send in all of their offers in a single email.

-An offer for a player should look like the following:

EX:  Name -Whineakin Crywalker

       Age -   30 years old

       Previous salary - 1 million$

       OV - 75

       Raise% - 20%

       New salary - 4 years @1,200,000

1. If player contract expiring is bellow 1 999 999 refer to Fix amounts in the rules.
2. % raises are done on 1 year of contract.  800 000x 15% = 920 000 That is the annual salary.
3. Players 28 of age on the Portal are considered UFA regardless of what the portal says.
4. Players 35 and older max contract is 3 years.
5. Players 34 and under max contract is 4 years.
6. Pro team cap ceiling is 95m and 55m for the floor.  (Expect the cap floor to match the NHL within two seasons so get on it.)

Star players  get an automatic raise instead of the base%.  Young players on expiring contracts of 1,999,999 or less get an automatic raise based on OV.  So read the rules and make sure you understand before you submit your signings.
