Clubs must use their own draft picks (being those awarded directly to the Club by the League for use by it in the Entry Draft, including such draft picks described in the first clause of this parenthetical that a Club has traded or encumbered, and subsequently reacquired or unencumbered.)
-- Clubs cannot acquire picks to use as compensation (with the exception being a Club's own draft selections that are traded and then re-acquired).
-- Clubs owing one (1) draft selection must have it available in the next draft.
-- Clubs owing two (2) draft selections in different rounds must have them available in the next draft.
-- Clubs owing three (3) draft selections in different rounds must have them available in the next draft.
-- Clubs owing two (2) draft selections in the same round, must have them available in the next three (3) drafts.
--Clubs owing three (3) draft selections in the same round must have them available in the next four (4) drafts, and so on.
When a Club owes two (2) or more draft selections in the same round, the signing Club does not elect the years in which such selections shall be awarded to the Prior Club; rather, the selections next available will be transferred to the Prior Club (i.e., a Club that owes two (2) selections has them available in the next two (2) drafts – that is when they are transferred).
Hence the, "picks must be available in the next draft" statement. The answer to your idea: no. The "3rd in '08" would not be available, and thus the offer sheet wouldn't be processed by Central Registry b/c the required picks aren't available.I dont want to acquire picks to use as compensation, I want to trade away a pick before I give the offer sheet.
If I know I am going to offer a play an offer sheet, and I know that I will have to give up picks, can't I protect myself by making a trade days before just to ensure that I will still have prospects in the system?
If I am going to lose a 1st and a 3rd next year, can't I trade my 3rd in 08 right now for a player on another team(prospect).
Based on that link, the thresholds for compensation increased by 18%.http://capitals.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=323120
*** TABLE FOR COMPENSATION UPDATED ***
Based on the two numbers given in the link above (numbers are near the bottom of the link), these are the compensation ranges for RFA offer sheets for 2007-08.
CBA Article 10.4 said:The dollar amounts set forth in the scale outlined above shall be increased on an annual
basis at the same percentage rate of increase as Average League Salary, with the 2006/07
League Year being the first year such increase shall take effect. By way of example, if
the Average League Salary on June 30, 2007 has increased by 10% from the Average
League Salary on June 30, 2006, then each of the dollar amounts stated in the table above
shall be increased by 10% on June 30, 2007, and the basis for determining the number
and quality of draft choices due to the Prior Club for the loss of a Restricted Free Agent
signed after such date shall be adjusted accordingly. For each League Year thereafter, a
similar comparison and adjustment shall be made.
Don't know ... but both sides signed off on it, and I suspect it's less punitive than the table in the previous CBA (which the players absolutely hated b/c it really was prohibitive when it came to considering offer sheets).Is it just me or do you agree that the respective value of compensation picks differs in an odd way? It starts to hurt at $2,343,764 as a 1st rounder is involved. But the next level seems to decline the ante with a single 2nd rounder added. Given it takes inflationary 4x 1st rounders for the maximum offer sheet which again fits into the picture shouldn`t the compensation scale continually upwards? In my book it seems there is a variation between $2,343,764 - $4,687,527 in terms of value. Or am I estimating value of picks incorrect?
Wondering cuz offer sheets will likely be handed to higher talent. Thus reducing the gap at this level might have some impact.
