So I understand, what is the purpose of this increase? The way I see it, it's to do one of these 3 thingsTo keep up with contract values of top NHL players? Or Force owners to not hoard starting goalies? Or A knuckleball to change things up in our cap league?
I think it's important to note that salary per year is different from cap hit. It's easier to pay a guy 10.5m when his cap hit is only 8m. Not to mention that Chicago (real life Chi-town) keeps running into cap trouble. They had to let Leddy go for nothing and they have to make some interesting moves this off-season.Point is that we should be looking at cap hit for year and not salary. Real life teams can have variable contracts and we can't
Anyways I think there was some general curiosity about whether the other positions would see a hike or if this is more to about adjusting for the league being skewed towards goalies.

The highest base salary this yr in the NHL is supposed to be Shea Weber's $14mAre you thinking of that as the top extension value or higher/lower?
Yes. We're going to figure out the top end of the FNHL payscale so that it can be left for a few years. $15 or $16 sounds about right.
