SCF Free Agent Frenzy Predictor - The 8th And FINAL Leg of the Jaunt for the Jersey!

[RGM81]

2013 SCF Free Agent Frenzy!

This is the FINAL leg of the Jaunt for the Jersey Contest! It has been a spectacular contest and the grand prize is still up in the air. It has been a real pleasure to host this contest for our great members, and we look forward to seeing the winner announced!

For your final challenge, you will put on your thinking cap to determine where a list of 30 high-profile Unrestricted Free Agents will end up in the off-season. The list includes such names as Vincent Lecavalier, Jarome Iginla, and other top players, making for one of the most interesting Free Agent Frenzy periods we have experienced in many years.

Will the players re-sign with their current teams or find new pastures? And how long will they sign for?

For each player, you will guess which team they (re-) sign with and for how many years. You can also list the KHL or other leagues if you think they will go overseas, and also if you think they will retire (for this option, you will receive 2 points). For each UFA there are two points available: one for the correct team, and one for the correct term.

In this Leg, the number of points you receive will be the number of points you receive in the overall Jaunt for the Jersey standings! This means there are a total of 60 points available!

There's no slot to put in your username, as there was for the draft round. Not sure if that is an error or not?

[RGM81]

Kind of an important detail. Thought I'd put it at the top of the list but it appears not. Added now.

[RGM81]

Remember everybody, the deadline for entry into this contest is tomorrow. I've only received two entries so far - there is a beautiful jersey at stake!

[RGM81]

Thank you to all who have entered! Good luck as you come down the homestretch!

Executive Decision: because Lecavalier and Briere had a free window to sign with any team before July 5th, and some people had their picks in before they had signed, while others who posted their picks last night weren't sure whether or not those two players would still be counted and left partial/blank fields, every participant in the contest will receive 4 points for these two players regardless of their answer.

One more day until this leg of the contest....and therefore, THE CONTEST....is completed!

Very surprised that so few players have signed since that initial frenzy. Still some pretty big names on the board.
