Sujet: Cap Errors Megathread
Hi!

Not exactly a cap error, but I think CapFriendly doesn't correctly count player right expiration ("Must sign by" in the reserve list page) for NHL RFAs, who are playing in the KHL currently. For these cases CapFriendly has "INDEFINITE", which totally doesn't sound correct to me, as there were examples of right expiration for players of this category: Evgeni Dadonov's rights belonged to Hurricanes (after his ELC ended) until those expired while he was playing in the KHL and he was able to sign with Panthers in 2017 without them trading for his rights. Same situation was with Viktor Tikhonov's rights, which belonged to Coyotes, but he was able to sign with Blackhawks in 2015.

If I understand correctly, "INDEFINITE" right expiry is the case only for unsigned draft picks (e.g. in cases when no ELC was signed at all), who are playing in the KHL (and NLA, since they also didn't have a transfer agreement with the NHL last time I checked) and not for RFAs, who are playing there after the end of ELC contract, as for them it is the same thing as usual - they become UFAs in the NHL if they are 27 by the 1st of July.
