Dynasty NHL: Archive / Re: 2012/2013 Salary Cap
« on: September 19, 2011, 05:11:40 PM »
I liked the point about our league having less teams, but more players and more quality players per team than most nhl teams. So I threw some math at it.
30 NHL teams with 23 men on their roster = 690 active players
20 fantasy teams with 30 men on their roster = 600 active players
30 nhl teams with max cap of $64.3m = $1,929,000,000 max total
not all teams spend to the cap limit because they cannot afford to so the current total is $1,658,619,385
price per player based on current total salaries = $2,403,796
20 fantasy teams with max cap of $70m = $1,400,000,000 max total
we can spend to the limit, but some choose not to and the current total is $1,365,000,000
price per player based on current total salaries = $2,275,000
So based on all of that we could play by the same ratio of how much a player costs in the NHL and our cap would be 72.1m or we could use the same amount for total salaries in the NHL as our max total, the 1.6 billion, our cap would be 82.9m. Or we could do something completely different. I was bored at work.....

Yep, just like the real NHL. Some teams spend big on resigning players and get into a bad cap situation leaving teams that didn't sign those big money guys to duke it out in the FA. I could've resigned Cole, Pitkanen and Jokinen before the draft but that would've cost me almost 16m. The teams that got boned the most Penguins, Bruins, Blackhawks who had a bunch of people with inherited contracts still faired pretty well and have good teams now through trades and the draft. It is all in the strategy and we'll see whose pays off when the season starts.
