According to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic who interviewed Bill Daly, there are a number of "challenges" to getting the new season started on December 1st. Food for thought. Perhaps have a backup plan for a revised Draft date if December 1st is pushed back or state outright that if December 1st is delayed then the Entry Draft get delayed (but since our draft is slated for Oct 26th it might be tough to know in advance that Dec 1 isn't happening).
Somewhat confusing. If this is right I will see about resigning other players with contracts set to expire. Given Rinne's age, I'd like to sign him to a short term 1 year extension. Pekka Rinne, $9.7m (2015-2020) 2018-19: 334.75 (ranked 13) means this is the rank we use (13 7.9) 2019-20: 189.75 (ranked 39) Signed to 1 year deal worth $7.9m/yr (2020-2021)
Hey KB. I was told you need to match contract value to term allowed. So for a $7.9M deal, you need to hand out a 4 yr term. For $8.0M+ you hand out the maximum 5yr term. The only 1yr deals are Entry Level contracts handed out to minor league rookies. The vets will correct me if I'm off point here.
