There have been lots of questions and concerns so I think it necessary to decide this with a poll.
This is for ALL PLAYERS on your main team and minors and prospects together.

No overall cap. Only cap hit on main team.

Whats the point of an overall cap? is it to prevent GMs from burrying multiple big money contracts in the minors? I dont understand. If someone could clear that up I would appreciate it.
contract number limit may be more appropriate. like only 50 contracts total.

Also, there is a 50 player team limit for this coming season in effect. 40-main draft 5-entry draft 5-waiver draft |

Thanks Dave. the cap makes sense then. I don't mind if a GM buries one or two big money contracts. Anymore than that and it could hurt the league's talent pool as too many decent players could be held hostage in the minors.
My vote is for cap. $90 or $100 is fine with me.

IF we hadn't already started drafting, I would say yes right away to a $100 mil cap...but what about people who drafted some higher priced risky players thinking that they could just bury them in the minors if they turned out to be not worth it?

Exactly, I believe the way to go is to count only the NHl team againts the cap hit. Why count the minor againts the cap. If you wanted to prevent gm to hide cap in the minor you could had a max of maybe 3 player making more then 3.5 M . That way everyone would think twice of drafting nhler with cap hit since they can only have 3 at a time. |

In my opinion, if we don't have a cap, then people will abuse the system to stash players.

No overall cap but if someone is abusing the system then remove him his 1st pick or any kind of punishment

In my opinion, if we don't have a cap, then people will abuse the system to stash players. What advantage is their in stashing high priced players? They cant help you win games in the minors, they have to clear waivers on the way up so if they are actually valuable they will be claimed by someone and you will lose them for nothing. They also should have minimal trade value since they were passed over for the majority of the draft and people didnt want them and other teams can also wait and try and claim them on waivers or else the player will be stuck in the minors forever not helping their team. If there were no waivers on the way up I could see the argument that a team could stash good high paid players and then call them up to replace underachievers or as an injury replacement, but with the rules the way they are good players will get claimed if you try and call them up so drafting a bunch of high paid guys and sticking them in the minors has almost no benefit IMO. |

So to prevent something that shouldn't be happening anyway( abuse of the waiver wire to move overpriced players on to my roster when I need them) the rest of us have to block those se transactions and claim them ourselves.
That makes very little sense to me, not to mention that its totally unrealistic , from a GM perspective.

It's not about blocking its if the player has value another team will want him. If he isnt even valuable enough to be claimed on waivers then the player is probably not going to make a significant impact on the active roster anyways. Could you please give me an example of this waiver wire abuse to move overpriced players. I dont think I follow your train of thought here. |

I agree with Bruyns, is thoughts wasn't clear enough to get a grasp of hit. So please explain me your thought more clearly. Thx in advance!! |

no cap for overall roster
it's like the NHL, the AHL players dont count against your cap.
