I do have a thought.

If a player is injured and exceeds his actual injury time, when he comes back, why isn't he healed X fortitude (say 1 for every 10 games missed?

That way we'd be rooting for injuries so our guys can "do their time" before coming back for the playoffs.

Probably too much bookkeeping, but would make injuries more fun.

That has too much of a rotisserie feel to it for my liking. You are chopping off the higher values of random games missed (by effectively capping them when they reach actual games missed).but doing nothing to the lower end where a guy gets lucky and plays 60 games with a fort of 3.

What I had kicked around, and still do at some points, is having players being able to play while dinged up. When an injury is close to being recovered from the player could be inserted into the lineup with slightly reduced stats and slightly lower fort. After a few games if he manages to not get reinjured his stats would return to normal

[Matt-Syracuse]

That would be fun, and realistic especially for the playoffs. Maybe spend 5FP to play an injured player by appealing to his team loyalty.

Nadeem Kadri has some zero ratings on defense. How is that possible?

[Scott-New York]

Quick question regarding the new UFA rule. Does the old UFA re-signing rule remain in affect as well or are we updating this and using just the new rule, scrapping the old rule of being able to use FP and sign a guy for one year?

[Joe-Adirondack]

Btw how many FP points are needed to sign a UFA that u have ?

[Glenn-Philadelphia]

This thread kind of piggy backs on the other one I just posted on.

We need to:

1) Locate the thread where we all discussed how to extend the players that are UFAs.
2) Put final touches on the costs and add to the rule book
3) Determine starting next year what the new penalties are for dropping contracted players

3 needs to happen before FA takes place.

[Scott-New York]

Can someone please help me figure out the math for the new waiver penalty? I don't get it. I'm not seeing how it's figured.

[Glenn-Philadelphia]

Scotty, can you point to a player that you don't think the calculation is working for? I would be glad to break it down and show the work as to how the buyout is arrived at. That might assist.

[Scott-New York]

Any player, let's do Jaden Scwartz. I'm not thinking the calculation is incorrect, however. I'm trying to understand the calculation so I can predict future players buyout costs.

Scotty see below. It is no wonder you couldn't decipher the formula as the formula was missing the base salary component. I have updated the rule book to fix/clarify with the text below.

As a reminder, each players buyout is listed on their card for 1, 2 and 3 years out if that helps too.


Base Percentage = Years Left on contract / Total Contract Length

Base Percentage would be multiplied times base salary (not adjusted) times the years left to determine contract hit.

This value is capped at 1.5 x yearly base salary

Using Jaden Schwartz as an example:
in 2022:
Base salary: 4,500,000 (adjusted by years signed to 4.05M [5 year signing])
Contract end: 2026
In 2022 years left on his contract: 4
Using formula: 4/5 = .8 * 4.5M * 4 = 14.4M (capped at 1.5 * 4.5M (base) = 6.75M

in 2023:
Base salary: 4,500,000 (adjusted by years signed to 4.05M [5 year signing])
Contract end: 2026
In 2023 years left on his contract: 3
Using formula: 3/5 = .6 * 4.5M * 3 = 8.1M (capped at 1.5 * 4.5M (base) = 6.75M

in 2024:
Base salary: 4,500,000 (adjusted by years signed to 4.05M [5 year signing])
Contract end: 2026
In 2024 years left on his contract: 2
Using formula: 2/5 = .4 * 4.5M * 2 = 3.6M

Thank you very much! I realize it is on the player cards but I'm trying to figure for players who I intend to sign. That information is not available without the formula. Yes, I realize I'm probably the only GM that does this but it's very useful info when filling out my cap calculation spreadsheet (which I'm one of probably only a handful of GM's to do)

I have a question regarding using franchise points to buffer a UFA bid on one's own player.

Imagine a scenario where Team A bids 5.5 million to retain a UFA but then uses 20 FP to bump it up to 6.5 bid value, and Team B bids, let's say 6.2 million. Based on the description in the rules, Team A would then be able to sign the player at 6.2 but for one year only. However, in the main section on the free agent process, the following is stated...

"Any UFA who receives a bid of 6M or more must be signed for at least 2 years."

I'm assuming the 1 year limitation tied to the use of FPs to retain outweighs the requirement of at least 2 years on a UFA signed for more than 6 million, but I wanted to get clarification.

[Glenn-Philadelphia]

Jed, you are correct. The 1 year signing limitation takes precedence over the 2 year minimum requirement.

[Joe-Adirondack]

Is there a reason that Edmonton is over the Cap ?

[Scott-New York]

They spent too much money...
