Stopped rounding when we let Fantrax take the wheel on contracts and instated the $25k/pt rule. Since we have unrounded drops. Seemed to make sense.
So...we'll be stuck with up to $75k dead cap now assuming it doesn't also make sense to have fractional contract bids in free-agency.

Hey so the rules state we round extention values up or down to the nearest $100k. Any changes on this that I'm not aware of? (Morrissey caught my eye)

I'm still thinking that the extension changes haven't fully fleshed out and that we need to see the full impact of this change over the next season or two.
I vote to table all change motions for 1 year and revisit this next offseason.

Honestly I don't even understand the proposal. It's clunky.

Seems a bit radical to me.

One way to mitigate GM's unhappy with their keepers is to allow more franchise switching.

Werenski (222.55) --- 33.5 --- $5.6m 4yrs
Theodore 145.4 --- (171.7) --- $4.3m 4yrs
Konecny (290.8) --- 235.3 --- $7.3m 5yrs
Ottinger 256 --- (337) --- $8.4* .66 = $5.5m 5yrs

Call me a masochist, but, I still like the Keepers and wouldn't support changing the rules on that.
As Arizona it hasn't been super fun with their picks and forfiture either but I like that we are invested in our franchises for better or worse. That said would you be open to 2 Keepers instead of 3?

some of the things that makes the disparity in the league is allowing teams to sell everything and not being able to field a team for a few years and the fact that some teams are getting top prospects from their home team drafts while others home teams are trading there picks. rob how much does the home team draft hurt you? Dude has a point.

Great discussion and healthy for the league.
I agree with almost everything here. I like the simple mechanics of the static factor. I imagine it's rare for a tenured legue to move towards being less complex.
I'm also coming around on $25k, at least at the margins. I do miss value-hunting during extentions but a healthy free-agency should make for a more vibrant league.
(Obviously we move slow and with caution. We hardly ever introduce change and when we do it's not immediate.)
I'd like to hear from others on a cash trading cap. My idea would not be to restrict out-going cash as it is indeed a good trade chip for rebuilding teams.
My specific idea would be to limit cash received by any one team to a total of no more than 10% of over-all cap ($9.5m) for any given year, to a maximum of $38m in any one trade. ($9.5m for 4 years).
My reasoning is to keep the field competitive at the top which in turn hopefully incentivises more trades. Bottom teams will also have to drum up more trades with more partners to move their cash instead of just shunting $50m in one go.
I would pair this proposal with an initiative that all teams field an active roster of 90% regular NHL players. I'm all for active tanking but loading up with 45 non-playing prospects is an insult that we can and should avoid.
The intent of the league minimum salary is being circumvented by over-paying for a single contract. ($20m Gabriel Landeskog for example).
Reducing max contract duration is pretty obvious. 4 years is still a long time if the contract holds value but knocking a year off will make buying out a bad contract much easier.
Last note for me is about trading. I don't know why GM's would rather hold out for a high ask versus pulling the trigger but it seems to me we have a market of unrealistic expectations. I think it may be because we are all waiting for our precious prospects to develop. I was originally in favour of expanding from 10 but perhaps having 15 of them is too many.
We're a bunch of hens waiting for our eggs to hatch!
Love this league ya'all.
