Bug with recently aquired RFA ("Do you want to match this offer")

Hi!

Italian FHM-fan here

Playing as the Colorado Avalanche (going into the 2023/2024 season) I am having an issue with recently aquired RFA Philipp Myers. When I want to offer him a contract, it just says "Do you want to match this offer?", but I can not offer him anything (see screenshot attached).

In order to get rid of this issue I've already tried to retire and unretire him, make him a UFA, gave rights to an other team... but without any luck.

He played in the KHL the past three season, is without any contract right now though. I made some research on the topic and found out that in earlier games a similar problem was caused by an RFA picked up in the expansion draft. I had two expansion drafts thus far (Seattle 2021/2022 and Quebec 2023/2024), however in the players' history it does not show that he was picked in any expansion draft.

I have uploaded the save named "DoYouWantToMatchThisOffer.zip" to the ftp server.

Do you know if there is a fix for this? Would be great if you guys could take a look at it!

Rgds,

It looks like he may have had a contract offer open when you acquired him, and for some reason it didn't get removed properly. In this case, since you have commissioner mode on, the safest thing to do would probably be just to edit in a 1-year contract for him, and set the current and contracted team to Colorado. That appears to reset his contract status properly so he appears on your roster - if you give him a 1-year contract, he can negotiate an extension normally.
