Connor Bedard Poised to Shatter NHL Salary Records with Stunning Eight-Figure Deal?
Now remember, players can sign eight-year contracts or eight-year extensions, and RFAs are able to do that up until September 16th of next year. So that’s still part of the equation for a lot of the younger players. The UFA guys, if they’re looking for an eight-year deal, you’ve got till September 30th if you want to re-up with your club, excuse me, June 30th, I should say, my apologies.
But if you’re an RFA, you still have until basically the start of training camp, or right before it next season, to lock in and capitalize on that extra year. That as of the 16th or 17th of September of next year, is gone. The max will be seven to re-up, and for new clubs, it’ll be six. So, this is an interesting scenario for a lot of young kids, and teams with their star young talent, like Chicago with Bedard.
