I'm in for a contraction this year. If it looks like 2-3 teams are running out of salary cap or roster space, allow 2-3 freedrops for all teams. All players go to free agency. And let's go :bump: ready for the fight!  :koolaid:

I’m ok with going back to 18 teams. I think all players should go to free agency so I can see how much someone will pay for Draisaitl.  :rofl: :rofl:
:iatp:
This would be the fairest and easiest way to do it. Disband the teams and release all players to free agency. No draft and no hassle. Give all teams a couple amnesty buy-outs so they can make cap space and away we go.

Addressing some comments I'm seeing:

1. I think at least 1 free drop is needed, give every team a fair share at free agency.

2. No rosters should be switched, you're stuck with what you've built and the Detroit/New York rosters get moved into FA.

3. Contraction would be permanent. Probably could have happened in years past, but I don't see us going back to 20 teams unless there was a sudden boom to the site and we had a waiting list.

Sounds like a plan. I vote for contraction. My other 2 concerns were games played for minors, which has been addressed, Thank you Anthony, Jmtrops. Two, enforcement of setting rosters, i'm not talking about once every 2 weeks, but the same gm's who consistently throughout the year could care less and barley set roster week after week. There has to be a penalty enforced.

since some teams have done all there resigns and others have not then I think we should be able to undo any of our resigns that were for this year as free drops.

In addition to any free drops maybe open up the free-waiver period now so people can do a proper re-set before free agency. It'll generate good energy here for sure if everyone has some chips to play with.

Dropping everyone into Free Agency scares me because of the max contract rule we have. Someone like MacKinnon is easily going to get a max contract right away from whoever is on when free agency opens which in turn makes it unfair for people who are not on at the time.

So let GMs match max contracts and settle ties by snaking draft order.
