Thorny Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 So unsigned prospects can't be signed between June 1 and June 30, but RFAs can? The whole unable to sign prospects during June thing is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 So unsigned prospects can't be signed between June 1 and June 30, but RFAs can? The whole unable to sign prospects during June thing is weird. RFA's need "qualified offers" by 5 PM today, if not, they are UFA's. If they don't get a qualifying offer than can talk to other clubs tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 RFA's need "qualified offers" by 5 PM today, if not, they are UFA's. But larger contracts can be agreed upon today, and throughout June, if so chosen, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 But larger contracts can be agreed upon today, and throughout June, if so chosen, right? They can do "the required qualifying raise" (by 5PM), a bridge contract or long term (before he gets offer sheeted or goes UFA). So, yes.

Taro T Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 So unsigned prospects can't be signed between June 1 and June 30, but RFAs can? The whole unable to sign prospects during June thing is weird. If not for the draft happening in June & some of these unsigned prospects going back into the draft & teams needing more than a couple of days to decide how that'll effect their draft boards, I'd agree. So there's a valid reason to have the last day to sign picks to be in early June. Can't really come up w/ a reason to open the digning window back up at the end of the league year when the next year starts in a handful of days. That's just keeping things simple (which is shocking to see from the NHL ;)). Remember, RFA's (& UFA's) don't actually become FA's until 7/1. Until then, they are part of the team that holds their rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Catenacci, Foligno, Girgensons, McCabe, Nelson, Ristolainen & Kasdorf all got offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, they are part of the team that holds their rights. It does make a certain amount of sense for prospects whom are eligible to re-enter the draft, for the reasons you stated. The odd thing is for guys who would still have their rights owned beyond the current league year, who are not eligible to re-enter the draft, to still be bound by that same rule. A guy like Vesey comes to mind. Oh well, at least it's black and white and easy to understand, even if seems rather arbitrary for a large chunk of players. Nevens, Jacobs and Gubtill. Now UFA's too. I feel like Jacobs has been Sabres property since 1998. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I feel like Jacobs has been Sabres property since 1998. 4th round 2011, but yeah. There's that "fourth round chance of making the NHL percent". He looked pretty good in the WHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked pretty good in the WHL. 25 goals in his last season there, that's fairly solid. He had 138 PIMs in Elmira this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus_ Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 All of them make sense, though Foligno needs to get off his ass and play much more consistently to be worth 2.5. Trade him to CLB, for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 So Seth Jones just got his payday for 6 years... does this firm up what Rasmus is worth? Is he worth more or less than Seth Jones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Is Risto better than Jones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Seth Jones is about the best comparable for Risto out there, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) WGR 550 @WGR550 MURRAY on Risto talks: "We have a number we know we are traveling to. He told us he wants to be here, and we want him to be here." Paul Hamilton @pham1717 Said talks with Rasmus are headed in the right direction. WGR 550 @WGR550 MURRAY: "We are going down the road of a long term deal. If there are bumps in talks we may do bridge, but we want to get long term done."

beerme1 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 No ######. That's why I said we need to lock him up for 8 years and not offer him a 6 year deal that only buys 1 or 2 of his UFA years. I'm arguing for locking him up for his entire 20's not letting him reach unrestricted free agency at 27 or 28. This is the right idea. I don't think anyone has any question about the player other than how high is his ceiling? Lock him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Risto may be the best defender from his draft class. I just hope he grows and becomes more consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
