Franchise NHL - Questions Section

[99WildThing]

I thunk Wunderman asked the question in a post but I am wondering where I can find the original rosters drafted by each franchise?

Looking to see if there are any legit OG's Carolina can sign at a hometown discount.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

As Morty said, new extensions for Wingers are calculated by 1st taking the highest rank of the winger, either LW or RW or both. Once you've determined the player's highest rank, look up the extension value.

So if a player with both LW and RW eligibility needs an extension, and his highest rank at LW is 5th and highest at RW is 7th, use the extension for 5th ranked Winger = $10.5m

Bottomline gents, nothing's changed really because the extension at either wing was the same for the same rank in the past. We just simplified the process.

ok got it. I was reading it as they were combined LW and RW together, but just the extension values are combined.

Am I missing something? To extend a wing (LW/RW) where do I get the ranking? On Fantrax there are choices of All Skaters C LW RW D G but no Wing. Skaters includes wings and centers tossing the wing ranking off.

you are missing the point, as it reads the wings are clumped together both right and left. You can’t look up just wings.

I understand that LW & RW treated the same for extensions but you still need to find the highest rank possible especially if the player is eligible at both wing positions.

I think the recent extension update was about getting caught up with real world contract values for skaters. The goalie extension values were already updated a couple of years ago.

Morty's correct.
Good work. I swear you're passively applying for a job in the commissioner's office. LOL

Why are goalies so cheap to extend and skaters so expensive? It doesn't seem to align with the actual scoring for this league.

Question about players with the franchise discount tag ... can we extend them mid-season?

I know we cannot trade them or buy them out, but can we give them a new contract if they are eligible for one (i.e. contract ending in 2021 this season)?

Yes - you can sign an extension with a Franchise Player in season.
However, you cannot remove the FP tag mid season.
