2016-17 NEW RULE: FRANCHISE PLAYER DESIGNATION

[Jonathan]

Players with Contracts ending in 2015-16 will be eligible if you sign them to a new contract extension and they remain on your team. Then starting at contract roll over in 2016-17 early August you can name your 2 Franchise Players who will get the discount. :thumbsup:

Ok, that makes more sense. So, this is unrelated to extensions. I can give this to any player who is eligible. Like Ovie?

Yeah, sorry. I was confused thinking it had to do with extensions. Makes more sense now  :toast:

Starting in 2016-17 when contracts roll over freshly in early August, FNHL is introducing the Franchise Player home-town discount.

* Teams designate 2 players annually in August (contract roll-over period)
* Max 2 Franchise Players any given time
* Who qualifies
   (A) Drafted by the FNHL team (not acquired through trade of MiLR player) or
   (B) Plays for same NHL team as FNHL team
* 25% discount
* Players receive No Movement clause (No trade, No Buy out) - stays on the roster until off-season
* Only valid while player plays for the team (a trade voids the discount)
* Buy out during the off-season is applied to the discounted contract value
* Designation on Team Page will be:

Sidney Crosby, $4.2m (2012-2016-FP-5.6:PIT-NHL:)
Alex Ovechkin, $7.2m (2013-2018-FP-9.5:WAS-NHL3:)

Some teams still have not used their Franchise Player discount.
