I hate surprises is all. The expansion draft will throw a wrench into each team's plans. So will the next cap figure from the NHL in 2021. I'd rather take the proactive approach like we did here in FNHL to set our own cap #. As fate would have it, the NHL fell in line with Franchise NHL with a $81.5M cap ceiling. Amazing if you take moment to think about it. Great work by PPG & PR to stay ahead of the curve. Best damn league around.

Are these the same rules we're going to use in FNHL for the Seattle expansion draft? Just want to get a heads up on what's coming. https://www.nhl.com/news/seattle-kraken-2021-nhl-expansion-draft-rules-same-as-vegas-golden-knights-followed/c-302586918Looks like there's already a FNHL Seattle Kraken team page http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=369020.0These are the tentative rules PPG had on the Kraken page Conditions for Expansion & OperationFRANCHISE BEGINS PLAY 2021-22; OPERATIONAL AS OF 2020-21. EXPANSION DRAFT REQUIREMENTS: Minimum: 14 forwards, 9 defensemen and 2 goaltenders (Max. 1 eligible player per team) * Expansion Draft to take place July 1-7, 2021 TBD * Total salaries of Expansion Draft players must be minimum of $48.9m (60% of 2020-21 FNHL Cap Ceiling of $81.5m). * Cannot Buyout Expansion Draft Players before April 15, 2021 - but can trade them * Any original Seattle Expansion Draft player can be designated a Franchise Player. Note: Cannot sign active Free Agents during the 2020-21 season; can trade for MiLR players anytime before expansion draft. * Original Expansion Draft & Roster Players Link To-Be-Updated

Ultimately, a 5% rollback of any salary cap ceiling is a drop in the hat.
For example, 5% off $81.5 million is 4$ million.
Many FNHL teams had well over $10-$15 million heading into FA last yr and the FA talent pool ended up being blaaaaaah to say the least.
That's the point. It's not a significant rollback by any means. This would help level the playing field for all franchises. Again, my team has more to lose than gain from this BUT if the league is better off, we are all better off in the long run.

Perhaps consider rolling back the 2021-22 salary cap to below 81.5 million, even below $78.0 million.
WHY?
With FNHL adding the Seattle Kraken for the 2021-22 season, the 32nd team will absorb lots of existing salary.
My understanding is the skater increases this year were to a) keep value current with actual NHL player contracts and b) create the necessary cap tension in this league to allow for a more robust Free Agency annually.
So I think it would be good for our league (FNHL) to reduce, not just maintain the salary cap ceiling if we want to create some proper player movement and incent owners toward making more transactions.
Full disclosure, my Habs are going to easily need WAY MORE cap space starting now through next year so this recommendation does NOT benefit my team at all - in fact it will negatively impact my Habs.

The off season has finally arrived. It's been forever waiting for hockey to start and help get things back to some new sense of normal.

Games have been amazing to watch over the last 3 days. Stalock was incredible for the Wild while posting a goose egg. Habs Jeff Petry had a memorable winner in OT against the Pens. Flyers were dominant vs the Canes.

It looks like you're accepting transactions here. Do we double up and CC over to Fantrax too?
