Mississippi Sea Wolves News Release
BILOXI, MS - The Mississippi Sea Wolves announced on Wednesday that they have tendered qualifying offers to eight players: forwards Jason Beeman, Andy Contois, Mark Hurtubise, Kyle McAllister, and Brandon Scero, and defensemen Gio Flamminio and Bill LeClerc. Per club policy, financial terms of the offers were not disclosed.
Each team was entitled to reserve Rights to a maximum of eight (8) Qualified Players. Of these eight (8) Qualified Players, no more than four (4) of the Qualified Players shall be Veterans (260 regular season professional hockey games played as of the start of the upcoming 2008-09 season).
Players will have until August 1 to accept a qualifying offer.
Players on open Qualifying Offers can not be traded.
Teams were not required to protect players who signed a Standard Players Contract prior to July 1.
Teams are not allowed to sign more than 24 players to contracts during the summer.
Players that were not signed by July 1 or extended a qualifying offer by July 1 become unrestricted free agents.
A Member extending a valid Qualifying Offer to a Veteran retains the Rights to that Veteran until August 1. After August 1, if the Veteran is not signed to a Standard Player Contract by the Member, the Veteran shall be deemed a Restricted Free Agent and shall be entitled to seek and secure offers of employment from other Members. Restricted Free Agents may not be traded.
When a Restricted Free Agent receives an offer to sign a Standard Player Contract from an Offering Member other than the Member with Rights and the Restricted Free Agent desires to accept the Offer, the Restricted Free Agent and the Offering Member must, within 24 hours, deliver a completed Offer Sheet to the Member with Rights, the League Office and the PHPA. The Member with Rights shall then have seven (7) days after the date it receives the Offer Sheet to exercise its Right to Match. The Right to Match shall expire seven (7) days from the date the Offer Sheet was received but not counting the day of receipt.
