Thanks for the info.  That absolutely sucks for the player.  Terrible rule.

Yes, and no. Not good in some ways, very fair in others.

Keep in mind that if the player is any good, the first time they are RFA they will get multi-year offers and raises in the process to pick from. Probably from the old team too. Signing a QO should be a last resort, and if you do that you probably have unrealistic expectations thinking you are worth more than  you are.

The RFA setup is obviously weighted to the advantage of the old team, but that's reasonable since they have put in the time and work to develop the player to be worth more in the first place. They get the first claim on the early years of this player they are developing.
