i'm surprised you're only jumping into the discussion now that 60% of free agency has been completed and after other discussions have been held on these pgs.the discussion is good, however citing precedence only opens the door for other inconsistencies in different leagues, including this 1yr contract which wasn't applied consistently in the past. i recommend you post a poll on the FNHL home page with votes to be cast by reply (not radio buttons as anyone can click a radio). if a 1yr is requested, it will be implemented for 2013-14.again, discussion is good but let's not make this a surpeme court case for a nice-to-have rule that doesn't adversely impact the league as a whole.
I don't understand why when given proof of 1 year contracts in the past that you still refuse to allow it. They are part of the game of hockey as well as part of this league.
this is beating a dead horse.because it was declined early in FNHL FA and allowing it now means we have to retroactively call up all other earlier requests. again, it was not applied consistently as a rule. wouldn't u then have to look at older contracts to revise them as well?furthermore, you then need to write a new rule to plug the extensions rule that would allow a FA signing of a 1yr contract followed immediately by an extension.the rule is and was in place at the start of the contract roll-over, at the start of FA. this will remain so.at this point i've proposed an action plan, pl act on it.
Joe, my post wasnt meant to come across arrogant or that I am giving up or anything. I am just making suggestions based on my experience and knowledge of running and playing in other leagues. I meant what I said about everyone has their suggestions opinions and that all cant be implemented. I have only been in the league for 1 month so I wont pretend to know how it has been run in the past. It will be all well and good to allow the 1 yr contracts but even though I would love to abuse the hell out of the extension rule its a loop hole that would need to be addressed if allowing 1 yr contracts.
