Offer invalid, per rulebook (bids on Vladimir Krutov and Sergei Starikov were still active leading bids).
Free Agency: Free agency will usually start within a week of the draft. Free agents will be bid on via the forums, and will accept the highest annual average value offer in a thread, if it has not been bested within 24 hours. No team is allowed to have a bid on more than 2 players in the forum bidding. Also, effective Season 4, players who were signed during the previous offseason cannot be dealt until 1 week before the trade deadline.
