NHL Free Agent status definitions
- Restricted Free Agent (RFA)
- Definition: An RFA is a player who has completed their entry-level contract but doesn’t yet qualify for unrestricted free agency.
- Rights: The player’s current team has the right of first refusal, meaning they can match any offer sheet the player receives from another team.
- Offer Sheets: Other teams can offer RFAs contracts, but the player’s current team can keep the player by matching the offer.
- Compensation: If the original team chooses not to match, they receive draft pick compensation based on the offer sheet’s value.
- How it happens: A player becomes an RFA when their entry-level contract expires, and they haven’t yet reached the age or service time requirements for UFA status.
- Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA)
- Definition: A UFA is a player with an expired contract who is free to negotiate and sign with any team, including their previous one.
- Rights: No team has any special rights or claim on the player. They are free to sign with any team that makes them an offer.
- How it happens: Players become UFAs when they are 27 or older (as of June 30th) or have played 7 or more NHL seasons.
- Group 6 UFA: A player can also become a UFA if they are 25, have played 3 or more professional seasons, and have played less than 80 NHL games (or 28 games for goalies with more than 30 minutes of ice time).
- Non-Qualified RFA: If an RFA doesn’t receive a qualifying offer from their team by the deadline, they become a UFA.
