Ovie is a prime candidate!
Ok, that makes more sense. So, this is unrelated to extensions. I can give this to any player who is eligible. Like Ovie?
Players with Contracts ending in 2015-16 will be eligible if you sign them to a new contract extension and they remain on your team. Then starting at contract roll over in 2016-17 early August you can name your 2 Franchise Players who will get the discount.
So, are players with contracts ending in 2015-16 ineligible for this after their contract expires?
another question. our max is two Ftag players, but they have a no movement clause. Can you switch players you want your FTag applied to in the offseason Say I have Crosby and Malkin on a Ftag but then suddenly Rory Fitzpatrick comes out of retirement signs with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Could I in the offseason r-allot my FTAG from Malkin to Rory Fitzpatrick?
