I support it, RC?

Others suggested the player could remain tagged as an RFA. I would not stand in the way of either option.

I have no clue, but I support RFA's being traded as long as the new team signs the player.

What do you mean right away, an extention? So that player would not go through the FA market...

The RFA would have to be signed to an extension. I think this discussion is leaning towards not allowing the actual tags to be traded, but the tagged players to be traded.

Agreed, the RFA tag was already expended on that player by the other team.
