I'm putting an idea out there. PR said he brought it up a while back but I am dusting it off and making it easy to understand.I suggest we allow for a home town discount of say 25% off on 2 players per team if they meet these 3 simple criteria:1) Drafted by the FNHL (worked their way up the system or drafted-traded-resigned via trade or FA)2) Actually play for the same team in the NHL as they do in FNHL3) Contract value is over $4.0 million (could be $3m)
I think the original contract needs to be tracked in case the player gets traded. Slack how would you nominate. Guess its symantecs. Label the player while they are in the MiLR?
Guidelines:a. Non transferableb. Renewable annually at Contract rolloverc. If that player gets traded in the NHL you retains the hometown discount until contract rollover The Team page label would look like this with the actual contract value after the team logo:EXAMPLEFor Canucks: Daniel Sedin, $3.9m (2013-2016-FP-1-5.1) Alexander Edler, $5.2m (2013-2017-FP-2-6.9)For Kings: Drew Doughty, $5.3m (2013-2017-FP-1-7.0)Jonathan Quick, $4.5m (2013-2017-FP-2-5.9)
As far as the look of the contracts go I'd like to point out that there's no need for an HTD label as the team icon makes it redundant. I'd also argue that rather than 2 home town discounts per year we set a cap at just two players max per team (at any given time) that can be designated as home town discount eligible. Max Domi, $2.0m (2014-2015-EL) So every time Max comes up for an extension he gets the discount. If he gets traded or released to free-agency then a new HTD slot becomes available. It would also be really cool to have to nominate these players in the prospect stage, sometime between being drafted and having their EL contracts run out. (ie. No current superstars!)Clean, fun, simple.
I like the proposal. In all honesty I doubt a restriction will need to be place on contract value that this discount can be applied to. Most owners will optimize their savings by applying it to their most expensive player especially if the team is only allowed to designate the players once per year.
, i hate the Montreal NHL team and really dont like many of their players.
