DISCUSSION: Tentative mid-late JULY Season End, Impacts?

[Mordecai]

Agree with keeping the ceiling at 81.5m.

End date should be July 10th to sync with the NHL's re-start and the opening of NHL training camps.

The trend is to use a mid-July end date, July 10th is a good suggestion.
Let's hear from more FNHL owners.

Agreeable w me sir! 

Be thankful Triumph the talking dog isn’t an owner....

[Mordecai]

Seems like it'll be July 10th or later.

[PigsRule]

It will be July 10th 12Noon EST.

Is the supplemental draft still starting 6/27? Or has that been moved to after 7/10?

And if it starts tomorrow, has the lottery for the supp draft been run?

Last question ... are we using Fantrax or this site for the supp draft?

[EndGame]

I think we should push the season end date back. Looking through which FNHL owners have been on this site, I would say approximately 40% have checked in within the last 30 days.

Perhaps we let the NHL restart it's July 10th Phase 3 activities and then we wait a couple of weeks to see whether the NHL can get off the ground. Just some thoughts.

Been thinking of letting the NHL take the lead before FNHL updates our dates... so July 10th is off the table and a later date in July is in the works... Stay Tuned for an announcement from PPG!

Crow brought up a good point about Free Agency starting before the NHL confirms a new set of salary cap figures for next season.

For PR and myself, given all the COVID-19 impacts on the NHL's revenue, the cap for 2020-21 will likely remain the same and possibly get cut back below the current 81.5m.

So I propose FNHL takes the initiative to decide the 2020-21 cap remain the same as the 2019-20 cap figure, 81.5m cap ceiling.

Thoughts? Jump in FNHL owners.

Looks like the NHL will maintain a $81.5m cap for 2020-21. FNHL is ahead of the game, that was our number too!
