Extensions Clarification

[bravesfan4]

You should only be allowed to extend a player when he is in the final year of his contract.

Im ok with this but the extnsion takes over immediately.

Extensions have to stack and only be in the final year of their contract. According to the way your signing right now is like say a player like Kovalchuk plays bad this year and next. I would just go ahead and extend him for cheap and get out of his contract that he has with the Devils. So if you did want to extend Kovalchuk it should be added on the end of his contract so therefore that extension contract would take over after his previous contract expires. It would just be easiest to extend players in their final year of their contract and just post it behind their name in the franchise pages.

For simplicity sake I will not allow the extension to take place after the season.  If we keep the rule it'll be that it can only occur in the last year of the contract and take over immediately.  This will avoid dumping bad contracts through extensions. 

I have made my decision, executive order.

Contract $ value cant be less, not years

which means if you take a big contract your stuck because to sign him again itd be another 5 year contract.  if you sign a young gun for a big contract it could hurt you.  and contracts should always be allowed to be increased.

Oh ok, so you can renegotiate in the players credit but not in the teams. That makes sense (definately wouldnt fly in the real NHL but ok for our purposes )

Ok this isn't how actual extensions work but I guess I can live with it, so 2 parts to clarify:
1. Can only extend in last year of contract
2. Extension takes over immediately

correct.  and it isnt how it's done in the NHL but this is just the easiest most straight forward.
