Ian. Puttin' in the time. Coming up with logics! Excellent. Of course he is, he built his team by collecting guys on ELC's and now sees that it's coming time to pay all of those players and won't be able to and if he can't work trades for them, they'll walk away for nothing. The above contracts have been paid the same way since we started the amateur draft 5 years ago, why are these contracts suddenly unfair? No one is saying the contracts are unfair. I am saying that by modifying the way drafted guys get paid is a more true reflection of these guys contracts in the NHL where many would be on 2 way contracts. |

I agree, minor league players do not count against NHL cap numbers, so if we are allowed to use them in our lineups then it's good from that perspective, however, I do think it will hurt teams as these players salaries jump in the following years and will be much harder for each owner to manage cap.

Scott, my cap is fine though? In addition, most of the guys on my roster wouldn't be eligible for this even if Glenn did it the way I was suggesting. I'm trying to give my input on what I personally think makes the most sense for the league as a whole.
And to answer your question as to why it suddenly would change... Because we are now going to be having comparable asking prices when we didn't in the past.

As I've said, I agree with the idea but I'm just trying to point out the negative aspects of suddenly changing these players contracts by cutting them in half or possibly more. And as you pointed out, it will be possible for players to start receiving the full price contracts and still have unusable cards so I'm just trying to make owners aware that they will be responsible to track these + prospects that may add either full price or the lower price to their cap numbers each year.

At half price, I would save $1.725M just on drafted players that aren't RFA's next season. Prospects potentially add $3.6M. of course, we'll cut that in half to be fair and my team could be on the hook for an additional $3.525 million next season. This would likely be slightly lower as not all will get NHL cards but it would likely be somewhere in that ball park at half price, that number would go up obviously if we used less than half price.

This discussion moved here as it has turned into a salary cap discussion and moved away from a bridge deal discussion...
