This limits small market teams ability to leverage and compete.
I updated the language on #2. It is unfair per our previous prospect extension rules (and current format) to allow prospect extensions. The PE clock expires, but we should allow regular extensions for expired prospect contracts. This should be the only type of extension we allow for an expiring contract post-season.
How is it unfair? I have already explained that their counter-parts in real life have no free agent rights. The truth is that it is very different from a normal extension on non-prospects. Just because we blew it on Hamilton doesn't mean that we should crap-can a good rule. What are we really trying to accomplish here, because it smells of appeasement to me?
No, my issue is that PE should not last beyond the players prospect eligibility. Meaning that (P-2011) ends on the last day of the 2011 season. Some were of the thought that it did end once the year does, others are of the thought that it should extend into the off-season, giving them time to sign these guys once their books are cleared of expiring contracts for that season.
