2018-19 FNHL Minimum Skater Salary: $0.6m
« on: September 18, 2017, 10:37:46 AM »
Inflation.
Greedy fantasy players.
Overly wealthy but competitive FNHL owners.

All of the above have contributed to the increase in the league's minimum salary for skaters starting in 2018-19. All new minimum salaries signed for 2018-19 will reflect this and everyone with a $0.2m salary if not extended will be grandfathered as $0.2m.


NOTE: This decision has been undertaken after a lot of discussion with PR in the backroom with we keep the ice cold beer and other fun things to keep commissioners amused.

This is an outrage! The NHLPA has gone too far this time!

I'm going to go out and hire scabs!

I thought this was a matter to be voted on?

Unless the sample size of response let the mods know it would never pass, it seems to me that changing rules on the fly without a vote puts some owners at a serious disadvantage as this is a money league.

What exactly I mean by that is we have different owners with different strategies some of which are long term and some short, particularly my strategy which often allows me to buyout players at 100k because of the minimum salary.

To not put this matter to a vote at the very least is an outrage for me at least all jokes aside.

Changing rules on the fly has an adverse effect. The free milr till 82 games was at least a voted topic. Still it screwed a strategy 3 years in the making and now this.

It seems that all these new rules are geared to enfisize drafting players and maybe some find it insulting that I'm able to compete while shitting on the draft, but this isn't the league I joined anymore, and the rules have taken a drastic turn.

When rule changes are voted on, then it is what it is and I can accept that. A 300% increase on minimum salaries with no vote, it isn't fair, and that pisses me off.

I'm not one to hide my thoughts.

Ok so whats the new minimum? The old is .2 are we going to .4? .6? I can only speak for my clubs. If you noticed maybe not but i only tweaked my teams a bit. I didnt go all in as i have in the past. My access cap is by design, my teams will bring up 1 to 2 players a season. This is the trend with the strong drafting NHL teams, i see no reason why FNHL would be any different. After all we do try to mirror the NHL way here when possiable. I admidt to using regular roster spots as an extended milr spot. I will have to review business after the rule change. If this is a move to slow or curve the FA spending i dont think it will. However all that said i do think Daddy's point about greater emphasis on the actual value of drafting is warranted. I know this is a vision of the comish from conversations i had with PR before I agreed to join the FNHL. In my opinion a decent milr roster not only adds value to a franchise but is a selling point as well. I know not everyone agrees with decisions (rule changes) made here, but i do know that any change is in the best interest of the FNHL as a league not to benefit or hurt any one franchise. Hope that all made sense.

Looking for a clarification.

Does this include both FA bids and extensions?

If so, shouldn't G FA also match extensions?

That's going to put the squeeze on my team's wallet. I think the NHL is at 575K or 650K these days. Can't remember which.

PPG hates the number 5 because its 1 short of a 6 pack. this is most likely how 6 got chosen.

This is starting in 2018-19.

The lowest salary for all players is 0.6m.
For Extensions, Skaters will be 0.6m and Goalies will continue to use 1.0m
