The rule

Detroit can sign him, or trade his rights to a team that will. That's it.

On the record
How it's calculated
The clock counts down to 2026-12-01 17:00 ET (22:00 UTC). Bleacher Report's November big board puts the RFA signing deadline at 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 1. The Hockey News says "the afternoon of Dec. 1." We went with the specific time.
The countdown uses your device clock. If your clock is wrong, so is the bomb.
Stats come from the NHL's own API, pulled by update.py. Edge numbers and percentiles are from his last season with tracking data.
