3 Year Minor League Cap

[Gilly]

I will be under 30 mill come heck or high water....was just trying to be open to suggestions or idea's.....I messed it up and I have no issue living with it...was just trying to be open-minded to ideas is all!!

I would not worry too much. I think you will have at least 2 years to fix it if there is cap in the minors.

So are we going 40-35-30?

[Jesse]

I know earlier I didn't like this rule but now actually seeing it in place in Northern I think 30m is too much I say we slowly hit 20m maybe like a 30m - 25m - 20m

I am thinking of changing this to a 2 year thing. I now have the rule that is only players in the last year of their contract can be sent down. 1st year would be 25m next year would be 20m.

I like it and think it is fair.

I was thinking 3 years just so Gilly has a chance to get rid of players from his minors unless he has a plan to move 7.2m from his minors.

He currently is at 32.2m in his minors
1 year from now if he doesn't call anyone up he will be at 28.8m
then when the cap goes to 20m he will only be at 15.7m

I think these numbers are more manageable for him or he is cutting 7.2m this year and 5m the year after

He does have the cap space. He also has a lot of contracts expiring this year to.

Yes I know he plans on bringing up Thornton and has cap space. Can't not make a rule just cuz it effects one person negatively. I know Gilly will be able to make space and I imagine he could always move them to other teams to carry the cap or even use the players if they fail to get what they want in free agency.
