Extensions

[joeshmoe]

Yes I also like Ted's numbers I am just saying for a ranking system

It's pretty easy.  just go to fantrax>players> and figure out your players positional ranking for the three years, then equate.  If you're extending you should be paying for the most expensive year no?  It's not the free market.

Still not getting it, how do you figure this out on fantrax?

Ok so possibly figured it out now, so according to fantrax for example Andrew Brunette in the past 2 years including this ones highest ranking was 16th therefore his extension would have to be at a value of $5.8m which would mean a 4 year deal at $5.8m per year or a total salary of 5.8m which would mean 3 years at 1.9m per year??

close, his value is 5.8m per year.

Ok but according to our contracts it would have to be 4 year contract then. So currently he is on a 2.2m contract is this a justified raise for a 37 year old, I don't think anyone will sign players to extensions as it may be possible just to get players cheaper in free agency. Wouldn't signing extensions usually mean you can get the player cheaper?

Im not convinced it means they're cheaper.  Just protected.  Its your decision to judge value.  Maybe the numbers are a little off but I don't think so.  The equation is close to the NHL.

Ok ya I guess that works, I am in. I guess each manager can make the decision on each player. Yes let's amend this

I don't know how we can change the numbers. The big cog in the wrench is that you take their best year (so because of that you can have lots of 1st lw and 2nd lw etc if you know what I mean) so the values are pretty high. We can scale the numbers back but then that could mean consistent players get really cheap.

[Drew]

I am down with averaging this years with last years. That is what I was thinking cuz if 3 different LWs lead league in scoring in 2 different years they all get high end salary

It'd certainly keep the extensions well thought out.

What would an extension for a guy like stamkos look like if we he were extended?
