Is the unassigned list on the index accurate? Doesn't seem that way, Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin are on it.

Prospects that are going to be created haven't been given contracts yet. Bryce usually handles them though.

Here is my movement to help the league: We need to lower the UFA age. There is potential of a player at the age of 34 or even older having only played with one team. That could be 16 years of a career with one team. This doesn't seem reasonable. I'm all for having RFA rights, but other than their initial NHL contract and their next one, I don't think players should have any commitment like they do now. Look at this UFA mix, I'm not that excited honestly. Half the players will stay with their current team because of loyalty.
Just my opinion, but I think the players should get an initial contract and a well negotiated 2nd contract and go from there. Loyalty should only be allowed on a few players kind of like a tag.

Just my opinion, but I think the players should get an initial contract and a well negotiated 2nd contract and go from there. Loyalty should only be allowed on a few players kind of like a tag. Actually, they could be as old as 35 playing with a single team. Imagine if the UFA didn't have the cap casualties of Camalleri, Bouwmeester, Chara and Pronger. I'm concerned about lowering the age as I've just spent ages working on contracts that some players would keep them as RFAs once they end. I really don't want to work on them again. If you say from now on, any player who's contract is expiring can sign one more, then that's fine. If we did go that route, I would suggest instituting a franchise tag where one player every three or four seasons can sign a contract between 7-10 years. Which would allow a team to sign someone like Hall to a long term contract. I would also add from an RFA agent standpoint, those contracts would be higher than the usual 5 year deals.

By all means if we implemented this, it would have to be after the current players have signed. I'd say that for each additional year for a franchise player would increase the contract value by a certain % or dollar amount.

Personally, I think we should keep it as is. I like that it's different from BRHL2. Just my opinion though. And, besides, how often will one player stay with one team for 16 years in FHL?

Isn't this something we could ease in? So we aren't screwing over GM's who set contract lengths so they run out in their last year of RFA eligibility.

Is this the complete list of available players? Where can I find UFA's who weren't on a BRHL team last season?
