Colorado Eagles News Release


WINDSOR, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles, along with every other ECHL club that played last season, submitted today their Season Ending Roster, a list of up to 20 players from their previously announced Protected List whom they retain negotiating rights with until July 1; players not listed on a team's Season Ending Roster become unrestricted free agents. All 19 players on the Eagles' Protected List, which was submitted on June 1, were also included on their Season Ending Roster; the 10 forwards, seven defensemen & two goaltenders are listed below.

Players listed below who do not sign contracts by July 1 will become unrestricted free agents unless they are given a Qualifying Offer from the team, of which each club may issue up to eight. No more than four of a team's Qualifying Offers may be given to veteran players (non-goalies who have played in at least 260 pro regular season games). If the Qualifying Offers are not signed by Aug. 1, they become void and the players can be signed for a different amount or choose not to sign at all, however, their ECHL rights will be retained by the offering team for the entirety of the following season, unless they are a veteran player.

If the player is a veteran, they become a restricted free agent throughout the month of August, during which they may attempt to negotiate a deal with another team. If they agree to a deal with a different team, the team that offered the Qualifying Offer has one week to match the other team's contract offer. Veterans who have not signed a contract of any kind by Aug. 31 become unrestricted free agents, free to sign with any club with no other qualifications.
