RFA · UFA · Qualifying Offers · Offer Sheets
RFAs have played fewer than 7 seasons. Their previous team holds their rights and must extend a Qualifying Offer or lose them. Other teams may submit Offer Sheets after a QO is rejected.
UFAs have played 7+ seasons. No team holds their rights — any GM can make an offer. The player picks their team after a 7-hour bidding window.
