Players Still Eligible For Offer Sheets

July 7: Byram (BUF) and McBain (UTA) were on the receiving end of team-elected arbitration yesterday, so they’re now ineligible for offer sheets.

July 6: Yesterday, the NHLPA announced the 11 players who were eligible for and opted to elect salary arbitration this offseason. While notable for a few reasons, that announcement often goes unheralded when it includes higher-caliber names. That’s because a player electing arbitration makes them ineligible to receive or sign offer sheets, locking them into a new contract with their current team one way or another. Whether that’s via a pre-hearing settlement or an arbitration decision remains to be seen.

The following players are still eligible to sign an offer sheet this offseason because they meet the following criteria:

1. Are a restricted free agent (i.e., received a qualifying offer before June 30);
2. Did not elect salary arbitration before Saturday’s deadline;
3. Are not a 10.2(c) player who does not have enough professional experience for standard RFA eligibility.
