Slack if you decide to dig deeper I can send you the league spreadsheet. Might be easier to mine through that instead of the roster pages.
Wow... all that value is sickening! At least I see a lot of expiring contracts.
Just for fun.I often wonder what it would be like to use actual cap values in a league. How would that work and what kind of effect would it have? I imagine that it would be fascinating to follow the actual contract status of players in real-time, knowing that my fantasy roster is going to be impacted. How much more on-going engagement would there be, or would there be any change on that front at all? Maybe for some, probably the opposite for others. I am not at all saying we should do this, but I am curious to know what other people think and if they have any experience in leagues like this.While comparing contract numbers (using Winnipeg's team as the example) I was struck by just how close the numbers are on the whole. NHL values in Red.C Matt Duchene, $5.9m (2017-2018) $6m (2018-19)C Brayden Point, $0.5m (P-18/19) $0.7m (2018-19)C Eric Staal, $3.4m (2018-2019) $3.5m (2018-19)C T.J. Oshie, $5.6m (2020-2021) $5.8m (2024-25)C Tyler Toffoli, $5.3m (2020-2021) $4.6m (2019-20)C Nathan Mackinnon, $3.5m (2020-2021) $6.3m (2022-23)C Alexander Wennberg, $3.5m (2021-2022) $4.9m (2022-23)C Marko Dano, $0.2m (P-17/18) $0.9m (2018-19)C Joshua Ho-Sang, $0.5m (P-n/a) $0.9m (2018-19)D Connor Carrick, $0.9m (2018-2019) $0.8m (2017-18)D Justin Braun, $0.9m (2018-2019) $3.8m (2019-20)D Matt Niskanen, $4m (2018-2019) $5.8m (2020-21)D Drew Doughty, $4m (2018-2019) $7.0m (2019-20)D John Carlson, $4.3m (2019-2020) $4.0m (2017-18)D Deryk Engelland, $0.9m (2017-2018) $1.0m (2017-18) $1.5m (2018-19)X-D Jacob Trouba, IR, $2m this year $2.8m (2017-18)D Brayden McNabb, $0.9m (2018-2019) $1.7m (2017-18) $2.5m (2021-22)D Andreas Borgman, $0.9m (2018-2019) $0.9m (2018-2019)D Damon Severson, $0.9m (2017-2018) $4.2m (2022-23)F Michal Kempny, $0.9m (2017-2018) $0.9m (2017-2018)G Jonathan Quick, $6.5m (2017-2018) $5.8m (2022-23)G Carey Price, $6.1m (2021-2022) $6.5m (2017-18) $10.5m (2024-25)G Matthew Murray, $0.5m (P-18/19) $3.8m (2019-20)LW Kevin Fiala, $0.5m (P-18/19) $0.9m (2018-2019)LW Tanner Pearson, $2.8m (2021-2022) $3.8m (2020-21)LW Gabriel Landeskog, $5m (2018-2019) $5.6m (2020-21)LW Conor Sheary, $1.1m (2017-2018) $3m (2019-20)RW Patrick Kane, $5.3m (2019-2020) $10.5m (2022-23)RW Richard Panik, $0.9m (2017-2018) $5.5m (2018-19)RW Adrian Kempe, $0.5m (P-n/a) $0.9m (2018-2019)RW Ondrej Kase, $1.5m (2018-2019) $0.7m (2017-18)Note that I used Hockey Buzz to find the average Cap hit (not the actual salary) and that values are rounded. Another take-away is that while most of the contract values (salary, not term) are quite similar, the ones that are not are significantly different. Usually being far cheaper in DNHL. In fact the only NHL contract that is less expensive is for Johnathan Quick with a difference that is marginal. I have highlighted the biggest differences in bold. While a player like Carey Price may be more valuable to his team in real life, and Damon Severson or Richard Panik may be simply over-paid, I am leaning towards calling these contracts a steal. One more angle I'm thinking about is how these individual contract values compare to their respective over-all salary caps. An NHL roster is 23 players with a total cap ceiling of $75m, or roughly $3.3m per roster slot. For us that would equate to a cap of $99m for 30 roster slots, if we were using actual salaries. But given that our cap at $81.1m is 18% lower than that projection, it totally bears-out that we should also have fantasy contracts that are generally smaller, including the odd "steal". I bet that the top performers in our league have more of this type of contract! Obviously, return on investment has to be a key consideration going in to our extension period and it would be fruitful not to deviate too far from actual NHL values. In my other league I am always happy to sign players for less than they get in real life and I know that a players value to a team is often reflected in their cap hit. (Jake Guentzel $734,167 2018-19) - Just saying.At the end of the day, while I think it would be super-interesting to use actual contract values, DNHL's contracts are simple and fairly close to the mark.I will compare more teams when I have time. Again, just for fun.
Sickening? That's a little harsh.Allen is only that cheap because he was extended on a prospect contract along with the discount for the prognosticator award last year.
I added up the contracts for DHL and the nhl for your team and there is a huge difference. 77.9M to 113.5M
