Free agents do not have to be signed during the normal transfer window that is implemented in some countries' leagues. If they are signed by a team, the team signing them does not have to pay any fees – sometimes this is known as "a free transfer".A qualifying offer is a contract offer extended to a restricted free agent by his current team.

How NHL offer sheets work. Basically, if you're an RFA who has received a qualifying offer (but hasn't signed it), or an RFA who doesn't elect to go to arbitration, you can get an offer sheet. And if the player signs his qualifying offer, it then becomes a one-year contract, thus taking him off the offer sheet market.
Salary arbitration is a powerful tool for both the players and the GMs. An arbitration-eligible player can elect to take his club to arbitration. A player will do this if he does not believe the club is offering fair market value for his services.
