Noticed my player Hartikainen who is an RFA this offseason just up and left for Russia. My question is say I sign him 2 years (2015) am I allowed to retain his rights for 100k, and seeing how he won't have a card in 2014-15 will he come back as a UFA that offseason or do I get him an extra year?
Just trying to understand if there's any point signing him longer than just this year for depth

Although I guess if I retain I'm allowed to do the UFA match still since he'd be my property?

Just trying to understand if there's any point signing him longer than just this year for depth He is a RFA right now correct? If so, he will go through the RFA process (asking price/bids etc) and you can determine to sign him or left him go to another team (if bids made on him) or become a UFA. If you sign him you could retain him next year if he doesn't have a card for 100k but he loses a year of eligibility. You can do this for multiple years if you want. Once/if he does come back you will have the remainder of his years on the contract at which point he will become a UFA. I will need to research this to verify that he does lose a year instead of having his contract dererred (like a prospect). |

Ok thats what I thought, but say I only sign him out to 2015 and retain but doesn't come back til 2017 would I still be able to use franchise points to UFA retain?
