I am not a contract/CBA wiz, so perhaps jow they list experience on certain sites does not jibe with the FA tlrules, but I though 6 weeks on an active roster (or IR from active) got you a year. And RFA is 3 years. ERFA is 2 or fewer.
Spitrac has him as a RFA, but I think that is wrong. Maybe one year some of those games were PS calls & they don't count? I thought they did.
OTC has Hudson, Irwin, and Wilcox as UFA's, but I think they are wrong on Irwin & Wilcox.
We will find out soon enough. But we may have to pay above MIN to keep Hudson. And I would do so.
