Maybe instead of having 1 ufa offer for one ufa make it one ufa presign and make them tradeable

From all the talks, what about this?
1 UFA Resign. Multiple Offers Allowed to Resign the UFA.
UFA Resign is an option to trade. I will track the UFA Resign in the League Forum of the message board.
Nick, would this be ok?

Either way, things won't be perfect. Some GM's want a rule instituted now. Some want to wait till offseason. Some were told 1 UFA, some believed its multiple UFAs but 1 offer to each only.
No chance in pleasing everyone. I'm offering a solution to address the issue and move forward.
Most teams want 1 UFA Resign but the option to submit multiple offers so they can lock them up. I think thats fair. And I see no issue with trading the UFA Resign to another team too. But Nick has final call on everything.

I like this if we also have the option to bank our resigns from year to year if we don't have anyone we want to resign one particular year

i don't like the idea of "banking" our re-signs even though it would benefit me right now if the current system changes as there's nothing like that in the NHL.
If the system does get changed to only one UFA per team re-signed then I think we should have the option to do sign-and-trades midseason or have the opportunity to re-structure a contract for an extension of one player in the offseason provided we're not using our single re-sign that offseason.

why?
banking re-signs would be just another strategy tool a GM could use....I don't even care if there is a hard max on the number of them you could have at one time it just makes sense that you would have the option to defer a signing if you didnt want to resign someone one year.

I don't really like the idea of allowing teams to bank UFA offers. It's very unrealistic. What if we allowed teams one guaranteed UFA re-signing(we can come up with some sort of chart that lays out what the offer must be, etc.). I mean, teams will be allowed to bid on their UFAs in the open market, it's not like you're just going to flat out lose them. We can always drop the UFA age to 29 as well, to ensure a few more UFAs are on the market.
