I think I found my answer. The 1.3M is not really attached to Kase. It is only a 1.3M extra money added to my cap space so I don't have to consider it in buyout or waiver
In Free Agency is there a rule regarding the maximum number of concurrent bids a GM may have?
Also in regards to free agency when it comes to rookie bidding. Is a signing bonus required or can a GM open the bidding with a straight "RC" bid?Also, can a GMs bids exceed the number of roster spots they have remaining? I know we can't exceed cap, but it would be nice to bid with the expectation to drop a player upon winning that bid in lieu of having to drop someone in advance and then risk losing the bid.
Regular RC bid with no bonus is totally legal.Also zero issue on bidding over roster spots. Cap is the constraints but if you exceed roster limit you simply need to make room upon winning bid.
Just sent a PM about this but figure I'll share what I am thinking so everyone can see.Money paid is separate so when doing buyout only consider the original total contract. In this case what I see you have posted is correct at $0.9m cost rounded. It's not in rules regarding these cases, but here is an idea that comes to mind that I think would be fair for everyone and can have updated in rules.Scenario 1: If a player has salary paid over the total buyout cost then the buyout is free but no additional cap saving. So you save the 1.3m on Kase here but not an additional 0.4m (since you were on the book for net salary of only 1.3m to begin with)Scenario 2: If a player has less money paid than total buyout then only the additional difference is what has to be paid.Given our setup thinking this is a fair option for everyone but would be open to other input before I finalize decision.
Next year we should limit number of bids to the number of open roster space we have (NHL/ Minor).
