As another owner mentioned, given this is to be implemented in 2021-22, we have this entire off-season plus the upcoming season to acclimatize to the new reality of the increase in skater extensions recently introduced. Chicago management is interested in testing out this small reduction in the cap ceiling and if needed, we would vote to reverse this change if we determine by the Spring of 2022 that it negatively impacts FNHL as a whole and the majority of franchises to be competitive.

I will award the advantage to Detroit in this trade. They receive a superior elite player as well as a depth defender and a prospect in Sean Day that once showed promise who was signed by an organization that rehabilitated the likes of Shattenkirk.

A surprisingly even trade if Ben continues to produce and Blk uses that draft pick the way he's always been so good at doing.

A somewhat even trade if Detroit can extend David for less than $6.0 Million.

Detroit wins this trade by acquiring plenty of young valuable assets and dealing away some old ones that have less ability to produce.
