Vegeta Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 This isbhilarious 50 2c at best gets max term for 7m . Not a good day to be a flyers fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphdog Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Skinner, Karlsson and now Hayes. Three guys that will not be signed to my fantasy team anytime soon, barring a stint as an IR replacement. Even then it's unlikely . Can't wait to see the next overpriced contract.

Duchene will probably get 10 at 7 years from somebody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill0755 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Scary term and AVV for slow 2nd/3rd Line center, sure glad James made the Capwise team cap adjustments for 19-20 season, as some of these new contracts signed by mid level players is scary.

One would hope anyway. The big difference of course is that there are 31 NHL teams versus 14 Capwise teams. So there are twice the "elite" players per team to go around with Capwise. Thus for sure the the cap difference is necessary. GM's here at Capwise will have to be more careful than ever with the contracts they take on just the same. there are some great players out there who are on contracts which may not be worth it. (eg. Erik Karlsson maybe). We do have one get out of jail free card in the JV overager slot. But even that has to be dealt with before the end of any given season. I think these challenges are what makes Capwise so great though. Enjoy NHL draft week everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawlesscdizzle Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I also think that we're seeing a shift from the player and GM perspective in that the stars take theirs and the gm will fill the gaps as they can. Similar to NBA. Actually I'd be excited if the NHL really started going in that direction as far as flexibility and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I think it's also worth noting that the salary cap was introduced at a time when the league wasn't really doing very well, and revenue was low. Revenue has skyrocketed since then, so teams have more and more money to spend. This is driving the cap up. In a backwards sort of way, the GMs are forcing the league to raise the cap, rather than the cap forcing the GMs to limit salary numbers. Eventually revenue will level off, and so will contracts... right? maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorhood27 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Is it time to consider a soft salary cap in the NHL? Similar to NBA or MLB? Incentives teams to win and spend money, because they aren't limited like they are with a hard cap. If Tampa wants to spend $7M over the cap, let them. Costs them a luxury tax to go over. Lower revenue teams split the luxury tax, giving them more money to spend on players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, continue to raise the salary cap but maintain a hard cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams like Arizona and Ottawa could use that extra cash from the bigger spenders. Teams like Vegas, Tampa, San Jose, have more incentive to spend money on players, and try and win.

James Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 NHL already does pretty heavy revenue-sharing, though, if I'm not mistaken. Much more so than the other leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorhood27 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Make it so the revenue shared from luxury tax HAS to be spent on players contracts. Raise the cap floor. Leagues like MLB and NBA thrive, and are bringing in record revenues, because they have stars playing on the same team, in bigger markets. And it won't take away from the parity of the league. Teams like Milwaukee, Portland, and Denver are making playoff runs. Small markets. Same with baseball. Cleveland, Tampa, Milwaukee, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Basketball is a bad comparison, I think, because you can make a run with 3 great players. That would never work in hockey. Baseball is a pretty fair comparison though, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorhood27 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 True! Both NBA and MLB have fairly strict luxury tax implications. So VERY few teams go over for consecutive seasons. Having a cap floor takes away from MLB's problem of teams not wanting to spend any money at all. And honestly, pro leagues want big market teams winning. To the public they may say they want parity, but they make SO MUCH more money when Boston plays LA, or New York plays Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
