Franchise fees, returning owner fees and transfer to a new team fees are changing for 2015-16
$10 returning teams
$20 internal transfer
$40 MINIMUM franchise fee and higher depending on team, roster, cap situations and MiLR valuation.

Fantrax is expected to be around the $80 mark again.

Example for all those who want to see this math because they need to see it.
If 23 teams return ($10 per), 2 transfers ($20 each) and 5 new owners buy-in (at average of $45) we can expect a 2015-16 Prize Payout of about $415 to the Franchise NHL Stanley Cup Champion.

Looks like the 2015-16 FNHL Stanley cup prize will be a nice bit of change.

depends on E40.  I will stick around to keep running things but if he wants to transfer ownership at some point and stop paying the fees , its cool. 

One way or the other I feel like Montreal has turned a corner and will be a contending team next year with a #1 goalie now and at least 14mill in cap to spend next season they are in a good spot.

Always fun being witness to a Snugerud branded rebuild.

Dubs might have an incredible yr in 2015-16 if he continues his stellar play and puts in a full season as the #1 goalie in Minny. The stink from oil country might've finally worn off for the kid.

That's what I was told as well. The reason I paid the $5 in advance in fact.

I am fine with whatever is decided, but I do believe that the commish and co-commish should be paid for their work. I don't think they should just work for free in a money league.

I don't think this has anything to do with paying the commishes. With all of the averages they presented above, the money coming in is either going to fantrax or the winners pocket. For me, the issue is the league fee went up without any prior notice or conversation. I have no problem with ten dollars, especially in a fun and unique league like this. I don't like the fact that it was sprung on me when last week I was told it would be $5

That is my point. That is wrong. Both the commish's should be given a small percentage for the work they do. This is a big problem with this site, everyone wants things for free. Without them, we don't have a league at all. $5 or $10 is no problem, we have not even finished this year yet.

So those who refuse to pay 10 either pay 5 and cash on on half the prize if they win or say to hell with it and hand in your membership card. Thats my 2 cents.

If you have no problem with someone raising the price of something without any discussion or advanced notice, great, keep living your life that way. But I believe that we deserve at least a vote before such a drastic change is put into action.

A post as simple as "Hey, we are so lucky to have so many dedicated owners, that we would hate to see the prize pool dip to the point that its not exciting. Would anyone be opposed to raising the returning team fees?" Then we would set a poll. Something like that would have been appreciated.

Mind you, I think it is a great idea to raise the returning fee. An extra $5 is not straining at all, and I am assuming everyone that owns a team in this league is not suffering to the point that they cannot afford it.

Hey gents! I think you nailed it with your suggested post and man that's probably what I should've written. Sometimes I get busy and forget how the written word sounds. Sorry gents!

In the case where PR promised or committed to 5 I'm sure we'll honor that and figure out how it impact the championship prize.

I think we took for granted 10 wasn't a dealbreaker and just went with it to keep the prize value in the sexy gets me hot and bothered range. Love all the competitive we've got in the group and it's looking to get stronger next yr.
Title: Re: Anyone Not Returning in 2015-16
Post by: SlackJack on March 23, 2015, 12:27:51 PM
Good discussion and not too late. I think the issue of $5 vs $10 is more or less resolved (by way of a vote), but there is further opportunity to consider some related issues.

There will always be peaks and valleys with the prize pool as new GM's come and go bringing in more buy-in fees in some years than in others. So chasing the amount of any given years windfall by raising rates will not result in a stable award system. In this instance I don't have a problem with $10 but the increase doesn't actually address the underlying issue.

Also, I would think it would be preferable for everyone to know one year in advance of when future rate hikes are going to come into effect. Regardless of whether they are voted on or not, this kind of transparency and forward thinking can only be a good thing for the league!

Thanks for the discussion.

I have been made aware that E-40 has been drugged and sent off to siberia.  We have liam neeson using his special set of skills to track him down but its not looking good. 

With that in mind Montreal will be vacant as well since I wont be buying in and I was only running the team for E-40.  I can continue to run the ship until you find a competent GM if you would like ,  or if the league wants to take over that is fine as well.

Nashville will be held for e40 until further notice.

Snugerud will continue to manage Montreal if he is ready and willing with profit split if he can lead that franchise to the promiseland.

He's given off the "seriously unstable vibe" since way back.

Why waste time with such individuals.

We should focus on hockey instead of a boy's mental health issues.

Colby and Corey can easily look up the individual's IP address and send an email to the ISP informing them their customer is on the verge of being reported to the FBI or RCMP for cyber stalking and that the ISP will also be fined if they do not take action to suspend that individual's account.

Colby and Corey should have done that based on the number of ProFSL members that have stated they have been stalked by said individual. If not I am sure they have their reasons but it is easy enough to put an end to those types of cyberstalking antics.

I think Dano will fill in real well for Saad. You have to like a kid who wants to model his game after Hossa minus all the early career IR stints of course. LOL
