Optimist Prime Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 The name Texier appears twice in the entirety of last years thread: NM777 made a post on Oct 9th 2023 that mentions him as his third line LWer to start the season. NM777 made a post on Nov 7th 2023 that mentions him as the third line Center in an updated lineup post. The GM doesn't mention Texier again in the rest of the thread. The next appearance of Texier's name is what Peteyboi just posted, from September 18th 2024 in this new season thread, where Gator has him listed as a Qualified RFA. Ergo: nowhere in the official records did NM777 qualify the player. At this point the commissioner just needs to make a determination. For myself, as an agent from June and July, I apologize profusely for the errors the league managers made in this case. I am happy in a way that it is just one guy out of 1500 players we have managed to manage the records for. hehe. small outlyer, but I get the feelings involved in the situation for sure.

Optimist Prime Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Dunno if this is significant or not, from Gator on June 30th: Quote Posted June 30 · IP FREE AGENCY UPDATE All UFAs/RFAs have been moved to the free agents tab. The RFAs highlighted red are qualified, the ones that aren't have not been qualified and will become UFAs if not qualified before midnight tonight. (NJD & CBJ RFAs may be an exception here. More news to come tomorrow) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Blight Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) For future reference everyone can see what players are currently not signed and available via Fantrax. I would encourage everyone to become familiar with this as it is a GM responsibility to know who is available to be signed as a UFA. To access, go to "players", select "All available players" and you will see a list as per below. You will see which NHL team holds their rights and you will see "FA" (free agent in GFL) under the status column. Hope this helps Edited October 5 by Rick Blight 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final blimp on the 1st rough season we'll call it. Technically this would be an accepted offersheet, but assuming @JohnnyEhGiver didn't know that, I will give him a chance to keep the offersheet, or just disregard it. If he keeps the offersheet @Viking will have a timeframe (listed in cba) to match the offersheet or accept compensation (if applicable) I dont really see any other way to rule it, and apologies for any inconvenience it may have caused..

Im learning this commish thing like some of you are learning this GM thing haha @Gator So all i can do is match a 1 year deal, but then could be slapped having to pay Texier alot more vs what my plan was to offer a 3-4 year deal once the trade was official and I knew what Agent to submit contract offer to. I submitted the trade before any signing was announced, so imo(I have bias but i would agree with anyone in my spot) I should have the opportunity to sign Texier to a contract of my choosing, not have to match a 1yr offer sheet then be saddled with possibly paying the player much more as early as January 2025. I don't think that leaves me in a fair situation. I can figure out some kind of compensation of a trade with the GM who signed Texier to make things kind of right so he doesn't lose out completely. Would have been nice if this got caught especially after that Cole Sillinger signing, which at least for me caught me completely off guard....considering is a very young player who just finished his ELC I would have never thought he was a UFA otherwise I would have targeted him over other FA choices i did. Anyways let me know! Think also having Texier listed on Anaheim's spreadsheet all this time as an RFA has to account for something. That is where i look for all player stuff and for it to get missed for months is very unfortunate, but that kind of stuff happens and we need to resolve it so everyone is okay with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I have been discussing a trade for 10-14 days with Anaheim GM AND it always had Texier involved otherwise I wouldn't have made a trade without an NHL F coming back. I will give a meh prospect to the other GM, but I want the ability to negotiate my own deal with Texier, that only seems fair...to me anyway!

Rick Blight Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 (edited) Free Agent Tab The Free Agent Tab on your spreadsheets was designed to assist GM's identify their potential UFA targets effective July 1st. The list included only those players that were on GFL rosters the previous season but were no longer under contract to a team and thus were true UFA's. The list did not include overage Junior League UFA's, College players that were ineligible for the draft and players in European leagues. GM's were free to identify players in these categories and make offers but the Agents would have to add these names to the lists after the fact. We believe this process worked well but as the season is now underway we want to cleanse these lists. The players that currently are on the lists are, for the most part, players that have retired, signed contracts to play in Europe or are simply unwanted as they are not on NHL rosters. As a result, we will now be deleting all remaining players from the Agent lists and will only post current contract offers as they come in. This will make the lists more relevant for GM's to view as you will only see players under contract negotiations. GM's looking for available UFA's can easily identify them utilizing Fantrax as noted in an earlier post. This process will remain in effect until the end of the season and, as we approach the start of free agency, we will again populate the tab with all pending UFA's.

All I can really do is try and come up with best resolution as possible for all involved. So here is my final decision on how this will be handled. Apologies for any inconvenience, but like I said this should be the last bump in the road (hopefully ).. 1. If BUF doesn't choose to stick with the offsersheet, I will allow you to negotiate a new contract. 2. If he does stick with the offersheet, I will then let you decide if you want to stick with the trade and match offersheet, or decline the trade and put the decision to match in ANA's hands That's the best I can do to rectify the situation imo.. I'll tag the 3 GMs that this possibly effects and you can go from there. @Viking @JohnnyEhGiver @NM777 But I will say this @Viking, you trading for a qualified RFA is risky, as they can be discussing an offersheet at the time, and could theoretically sign that offersheet at any time. I am going to try to be as up to date with updates as I can be, but things don't get done daily. So just because there's a pending trade in the background doesn't mean those talks aren't still happening in the background Edited October 6 by Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be assumed to be your lineup for now. You will also need to set your budgets. I am going to give you 72 hours to post an official lineup that meets the minimum requirements (need to call up a goalie), and set your 2024 budgets (check CBA as changes have been made to the financial system) or penalties/point deduction will be enforced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
