Though it's not all about FA for some, to be fair. It's about realism, since some of these prospects are making half as much here as they are in the NHL.
Yeah, it's a discussion topic for sure. Maybe not changing the percentage, but lowering it from 5 years to say 3 would be a happy medium.Because, we get our prospects for what, 3 seasons is it if they play a full year the first year? (ie. Nico Hichier is in his 3rd year in the league, and contract expires after this year).That would come out to 3 years on the min., plus 3 years at a highly discounted rate before going onto a full-fledged re-sign. Even if the player hits prime fantasy output in their 3rd year, that gives you 4 total years of solid production at a reduced cost. Plenty of time/big enough window to build a championship team.
I am supporting this idea. Keep the actual prospect discount but lowering years to 3 years
It looks like we're pretty split on this. Although, it may have been premature to poll it. Or maybe I asked the wrong question.Flesh this out more or put it to bed for now?
Either way is fine with me but if we are going to 'flesh it out' I want a clear understanding of the 'why'. More realism, more FA, or less support for rebuilding teams??? What is the objective?
