I know salary cap isn't an issue for most teams, but I wanted to see if overall scoring has gone up in our league since we started a static cap. Player salaries are directly tied to their production it seemed to make sense then that our cap be tied to league production.
We started at $95m and our baseline was the 19-20 season. All the players total scored 84,785.2 fantasy points in a season that had 17% less games 84,785.20 x 1.17 = 99,198.68
The 2020-2021 season all the players total scored 71,985.55 fantasy points in a season that had 46% less games = 71,985.55 x 1.46 = 105,098.90
The 2021-2022 season all the players total scored 114,973.1 fantasy points
So we are giving out contract extensions to players scoring about 16% more points, but with the same amount of cap.
Also, I feel like our rookie extensions should be brought down to at least 2-3 years. 5 years is just too long to have them on bridge deals any more.
And, this is what I do when there is no hockey news..........
