Question about free agency?

[James Granger]

What's the difference between a player being a restricted free agent vs a unrestricted one?

 

[Aominecchi]

An unrestricted free agent is free to sign with any team that they choose to.

A restricted free agent is subject to his current team's Right of First Refusal, meaning that the player can be signed to an offer sheet by another team, but his current club reserves the right to match the offer and keep the player.
