FREE AGENTS SUBJECT TO COMPENSATION AND RIGHT TO MATCH - GROUP 2

OFFER COMPENSATION
$1,110,249 or below None
Over $1,110,249 to $1,682,194 3rd-round choice
Over $1,682,194 to $3,364,391 2nd-round choice

Over $6,728,781 to $8,410,976 Two 1st-round choices, one 2nd- and one 3rd-round choice
Over $8,410,976 Four first-round choices
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS - GROUP 3
These players have qualified for Group 3 Free Agency (age 27 or older or with at least seven Accrued Seasons) and are Unrestricted Free Agents.
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS - GROUP 6
These players qualify for unrestricted free agency, having met the requirements for Group 6 free agency. This group is defined as players whose contracts have expired, are age 25 or older, have completed three or more professional seasons, and (i) in the case of a player other than a goaltender, have played less than 80 NHL games (regular-season and playoff), or (ii) in the case of a goaltender, have played less than 28 NHL games (regular-season and playoff). Please note that these amounts are subject to pro-rating due to the 48-game season in 2012-13.
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
These players were not tendered a qualifying offer and are therefore Unrestricted Free Agents not subject to a right to match or draft choice compensation.
