This sounds interesting.
Contract Limits for ExtensionsContract extensions follow the contract maximum lengths as shown above as well as their own minimum standards.Salary - Min & Max Years$6.5m+ - 5 years (the overall limit)$5 to $6.4m - 4 or 5 years$3.5 to $4.9m - 3 or 4 years$2 to $3.4m - 2 or 3 years$0 to $1.9m - 1 or 2 years
I like the idea of letting teams manage their own prospects on fantrax. It's a little more work on management to check that teams aren't violating the rules, but it's also less work on the maintenance side, having to add and remove players constantly. A penalty system could be implemented for violators if necessary, but I've been running DNHL this way for years and I've had very few issues. There are a few teams i have to watch more closely than others, of course.
I would like to address the rule regarding IR replacement at the begging of the season. This rule drives me nut's and in my opinion needs to be addressed. We all know that the first month of the season is an IR gong show and just as the NHL does ..........I would like to be able to call someone up from my minors. I know why this rule was put in place but we need to look at it further because it doesn't conform with the current NHL conduct and ........ restricts us GM's to ice the best team our organization can provide.
In regards to owners keeping track of their own minors:Here is how I see it working. Players on the AHL team stay on our regular roster occupying IR spots, and players in the ECHL stay on the minor rosters as is. I think this helps decrease clutter on the actual roster while keeping separation of AHL/ECHL.In regards to IR:I am in the same boat, but I do not have a solution yet. Does anyone else have a thought?On contract lengths for extension:I don't understand how there is no incentive to giving a player a longer contract then 2 years. If you have a really good players about to make 3 mil a year, I would give him the three years because that is cheap. The bigger contracts might be a issue.For flavor reasons, it might be more realist for a player making 4-5 mil a year to ask for 3-4 years on their contract. This might be something we need to visit.

What about experienced minor leaguers?
