Lock out

[BeanTown]

Just curious if we have a full season lockout will contracts keep going or will we get an amended year?

We would have to decide as a league, I would be in favour either way the league wants.

Let's hope we don't come to that point!!!

I think some basketball leagues are looking for GMs

Personally I don't think a blanket solution works. Sure, we'd all like to extend our cheap high value contracts by a year but what of older players that are near or at retirement. Would't be fair to force an extension on GM's with players like Alfredson and Selanne.

How about letting GM's select a handful of core players to extend?

Should be a moot point as they'll probably be playing by Christmas but worth talking about. Good thread Bean.

I would be in favour of a contract freeze. Meaning that all contracts would have 1 year added to their contracts.

As for the possible cap changes. I would be in favour for exactly following the NHL where players salaries would be reduced by a certain percent.
Another idea would be to expand the league and have a certain number of players protected.
Any other ideas on cap related changes?
