I think they should be identified with the dancing taco beside each name.

Since we do not use two ways or anything like that, how about we use italics. For example:

Connor McDavid $3.0m (2015-2018)

[ i]   Connor McDavid $3.0m (2015-2018)     [/i]

Can't wait to see this spelled out.

Leaning twd NO.
Loyalty is the thought behind this discount.
Of course. Its a pain to track prospects that get dealt.
So maybe. PPG can make the final call.

I will define this officially but it should read

Any promoted player draft by or from the MiLR of a team qualifies for the HTD!
Easier to track both through Draft lists and MiLR prospect promotion transactions.

So you traded for a kid that's a spec and you call him up. In a few yrs the kid gets a fat extension and you get to slap a Home Town Discount on his extension because he was promoted from your MiLR.

He's a Franchise Player.

Still got to figure out how to display the notation on pages.

I have another question to add to this. 

If I didnt draft, but traded for a prospect before he made the jump to the pro roster would they count for the hometown discount?

Not urgent, but I would like to clarify exactly who will be eligible for a hometown discount starting next August.  I will use specific examples from the Pens roster:

1) Sidney Crosby, $5.6m (2012-2016) - I assume he would be eligible for the FNHL Pens since he plays for the NHL Pens.  But I don't know if the FNHL Pens actually drafted him, but I'm not sure if that criteria must be met as well.  Would he be eligible?

2) Marc-Andre Fleury, $9.1m (2014-2019) - Ditto Crosby above ... however, he is under contract through 2019.  Can his contract be re-negotiated to take advantage of the hometown discount, or are we saying you can only do this when their contracts are up for renewal?

3) Robert Bortuzzo, $1.7m (2015-2018) - The FNHL Pens drafted him, but he now plays for the NHL Blues.  Would he be eligible?  I realize his salary is only $1.7M and probably not worth it, but just using him as an example of someone previously drafted by an FNHL team that a) there is no record on the team page that the FNHL team drafted him and b) he no longer plays for the same NHL team.

Thanks in advance, PPG

I am with McCrow on this.  Things are still pretty muddy.  Would like to know exactly what is going into effect next year/season.  Would make some differences on trades I pursue throughout the season.
