to lose by keeping all coming free agents until the end of the season. Why? The qualifying offer for 2017 is 18.1 million $. All they have to do is offer the guys they really want the qualifying offer then the player has 10 days to accept or negotiate with other clubs. If a player takes an offer from another team the team that loses the player will then get a compensation pick. So the gamble is getting back a player you really don`t want to pay that much for a season. What would you guys do??
