More details on today’s secret action 👇

[Kyle Cushman @Kyle_Cush]

No player movement today in the PWHL, but a significant step for the expansion teams.

The 4 teams submit a 20-player negotiation target list and 4-player EFO ranking by 3 pm ET.

• ENTL: A list of 20 unprotected players - both free agents and under contract - that the expansion team is interested in signing during Phase 2. These lists won't be made public.
• Existing teams will receive a list of players from their roster who are on any ENTL. It won't specify which team(s) did so.

• EFO Ranking: A ranked list of 4 free agents from the team's ENTL that they are interested in signing to an EFO.
• EFO = Binding offer of no less than $100K or the player's 25-26 salary (whichever is more) for the 26-27 season. Player chooses contract length from 1-4 years. Salary increases by a minimum 3% for each additional season.
• Order here is very important. If you're the only team to rank a player 1st, that player is assigned to your team. If multiple teams rank a player 1st, the player can negotiate and choose between those teams. That process continues down the respective lists until each team has an EFO player.

#SeattleTorrent GM Meghan Turner said the head coach search is going well and they're close. She said she likes the candidate pool and feels good about the reflection they did after last season.

Torrent GM Meghan Turner said she thinks “sky’s the limit” for Wilgren. Also said that Wilgren plays the “heavy game” the team wants to play.

“I think her production is just starting…you started to see it at the end of last year…we started to really see the true Anna Wilgren”

Seattle Torrent GM Meghan Turner spoke to media this morning about the ongoing expansion process.

Here is what she had to say about the emotions involved in deciding who to protect

#SeattleTorrent

[Heather Coy Moonka @HeatherNicol]

Per Meghan Turner, the three protected by the #SeattleTorrent were three that the organization felt they could build each position around (forward, defender, and goaltender) and play the way they want to play.

[Heather Coy Moonka @HeatherNicol]

#SeattleTorrent GM Meghan Turner said her conversation w/Hilary Knight about not protecting her was a very professional one. She has a ton of respect for her as a player, a person, and a leader. Ultimately, the addition of more variables during this process played a huge factor.
