Lock out

[nelly85]

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.

  the hole reason I got alferaon was to play one more year when lock out happens more likely he won't be around I think contracts should just run there courses

Or maybe let the contract run it's course BUT give GM's the option for an additional year extension at current contract maybe?

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?

I just don't want to see tooooo many changes go along with it a lot of gm have been in this league since day 1 and have put a lot into building the teams they have today!!!

If there is a lockout do I keep the cup and become the 2012-13 champs by default?

We will have plenty of time to figure this out if we don't get a season.

So should we start figuring out what we are doing with our contracts for next year.

They going to carry over or do we lose a year or any other ideas?

I am in favour of carrying over, with any players who signed a contract this season and retire to be nullified.

After some thought this is my suggestion.

- all players on a two-way get a year extended on their current contract.
- all GM's get to extend another year on up to 7 players.
- rest of the the players lose a year off their contract and if they were in the last year they can be signed to an extension as usual or they will be free agents.


I feel this let's GM's have more control on their teams.
