Title: Small Rule Change
Post by: Drew on June 16, 2012, 12:31:41 PM
Cap increase for each season will be a 4% increase instead of a 8% increase. We seen what happened last season with a 8% increase and the massive over-spending in free agency. I hope that doesn't happen again and with a 4% that is only a 2m cap increase instead of a 5m increase.

Salary Cap
The Salary will be a flat hard cap.  It will mock the NHL with an 4% 8% increase:
-- The Upper Limit:  $69,200,000
-- The Lower Limit:  $52,200,000

2 questions:

1) so is this salary cap rule + 4% increase official?

that means the 2012-13 caps values would be...
Ceiling = $72,000,000
Floor = $54,300,000

2) what are the penalties for exceeding the max. or not reaching the cap floor during the season?  note: this was never established during the 2 previous yrs FNHL has been running.

as joeshmoe mentioned, the penalties should be severe given this is a salary based league.

suggestions:
loss of draft pick(s)
loss of a RW,
loss of MiLR player
EC or RC to decide penalty case-by-case
5% cap value added for going over max.
5% cap value deducted for not meeting min.
etc.

Yes 4% increase is official, it was originally 8% but that exponential equalled too much of an increase going forward.

I believe loss of draft picks would be the best way to go for going over or not meeting floor. Something like:
Once - loss of fourth round pick
Twice - loss of third round pick
Thrice - loss of second round pick
Fourth - loss of first round pick
Further violations are means for dismisal or removal of future first round picks.
? Something like that.

thx for confirming!  :toast:

in thinking about loss of draft picks, the concern there would be the punishment is down the road... it should be more immediate when you think about it.

if a GM doesn't respect the cap in a cap league, then they're probably not sticking around long-term ... so taking away draft picks would penalize the next GM taking over the team.

maybe just a rule to give the GM 72hrs to fix once flagged. that would be immediate.

I think the best way to do it would be for a team to forfeit any weekly matchup while over the cap... this way you're note punishing the next GM.

Or you could give the GM a cap penalty for the next season, but if there is a GM swap, it would be wiped away.

Thoughts?

1) sizzrat confirmed 2012-13 fnhl cap will mirror nhl's.

2) new thread started for penalty over or under cap in-season.
