It is the time of the season when each respective NHL club looks at their crop of restricted free agents (RFA) and issues qualifying offers for those players they would like to keep. The deadline to issue such offers was 5 pm Eastern Time on Monday and the players have until July 15th to sign their respective contracts.
By issuing the offers, each team is given the right of first refusal or draft choice compensation should the player sign an offer sheet with another team. Should teams and players elect to go to salary arbitration, hearings would take place from July 20-Aug. 4.
