2023 Free Agency: FP/ELC Signing

[Kevin]

You may now begin signing entry-level players that were activated from your organizational rosters (prospects list), as well re-signing any franchise players. Remember, you do not have to sign any of these players if you do not want to.

I have prepared a list for everyone that shows who they have available to sign.

This list should be used only as a guideline. Please report any errors that you may find!

Please refer to the updated Fair-Market Value (FMV) table in the CBA to calculate your contract offers for franchise and newly-activated players. Keep in mind that these players do not necessarily need to be signed to the exact amounts listed. You may be able to lower a player's base salary if you pay funds up front through signing bonuses. There are also restrictions on the length of term you may give an entry-level player, which depends on that player's age. Please read the free agency and signing bonus sections of the CBA for full information on signing your players.

You must use the sim client software to sign your entry-level and franchise players, through the free agents button on your team overview. After you have input your offers, you must save your team file and upload it to the league server in order to complete the signings. If you are unable to do this, please contact me immediately.

For additional help with how to sign your Entry-Level and Franchise players, please refer to the 2016 instructional video for how to submit offers for your.


Since it's the holiday season, I will announce a deadline on Boxing Day for when these offers are due. For now, it's only preferred that you submit your offers sooner than later. Any players left unsigned will become unrestricted free agents. Any players left unsigned will become unrestricted free agents. If you need additional time to submit your offers, please contact me directly.


PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS in this thread!

Ian and Ryan pointed out a proper error on the Franchise/ELC page with age listed if a player was born between July 1 and September 15. These were incorrectly listed as a year younger than they should be. Luckily, those teams and the Ducks were the only ones affected by this of the offers sent in prior to today. I fixed this a few minutes ago.

If you sent in offers for the first time today, please be aware that I may need to reach out to you about correcting term for a few people.

The deadline to submit offers for your franchise and entry-level players is tomorrow, Friday, December 29 at 10pm EST. You will still have an opportunity to make corrections after that. Most have already been processed.
