psure adam is an RFA and jesper is a UFA
Puckpedia lists adam as both though so lol
That's a really good question. Not sure what happens after either a buyout or a non-QO situation. Both will have only 6 years of service so they'd normally both become RFAs. I sent a message to GR in the hopes he has a better idea (or can ask someone in the know).
So I looked at the CBA and I think they are both RFA. Neither Adam or Jesper fall under any of the UFA categories so they are RFAs.
I think the confusion is around RFAs that don't get a qualifying offer. They don't become a UFA, they actually stay RFA, but their teams don't get first right of refusal or draft compensation if they are offer sheeted, so they're effectively like a UFA.
Also I'm assuming that Adam goes back to being an RFA after getting a new contract. Adam actually was a UFA when we signed him because he was bought out, but Jesper was an RFA with no qualifying offer and should remain RFA.
At least that's what it looks like to me...
