Ok, so by the info on this page, can you tell me if this player will be a ufa or a rfa after next season?

Answer 1

They are right above me as long as the AVS (or what ever team he is on as of July 1st 2009) makes a qualifying offer. If not then he would be a group 4 unrestricted free agent. I may be wrong on the grouping but I have not noticed any significant difference. Without the qualifying offer, the team that had owned his rights loss all compensation and rights to match another teams offer sheet.

Answer 2

He will be a RFA and arbitration eligible.

Answer 3

If I'm right he will be a resitricted free agent once more. He'll still be 26 on July 1'st and I believe he must be 27.

Answer 4

RFA, as stated

Answer 5

Yup he's a RFA. I thought I would just say it to confirm with the other two answers before me.
