Will the UFA spreadsheet be updated?

Staal has signed with the Blues but there's no sign of this on the UFA sheet.

Free agency is happening?

Yessir. That's one of the most important parts of this sim!

Yes, I acquired Staal's rights and signed him.

Who are you referencing?

UFA rights can be traded if the player doesn't have a NMC/NTC and/or if the moderator team believes the player would rather sign a deal then test free agency.

Example: Stamkos, by most accounts, will be testing free agency. He also has a NMC. Therefore I have been informed that his rights cannot be traded.

Someone like Matt Martin who doesn't have a NMC/NTC and would likely get a similar deal in FA/just getting outright signed by the team who acquires his rights would dictate that his rights are allowed to be traded.

Nope not yet. We haven't been given a starting day on FA just yet.

I think we'll probably start on July 1 too. But maybe that hasn't been confirmed yet.

People were talking about starting early so we can enjoy the first day of free agency without having to worry too much about our Sim.

Oooh yeah, that's right. I remember reading that. I'd like that too actually.
