The winner of this contest will receive a 20% discount on any extension during the 2018 offseason extension period! In addition, the winner shall receive the much coveted "Prognosticator Award".
***The discount is applied to the normal extendable amount and the length of the contract is based on the normal extendable amount. For example, if a player would normally extend at $5m for 4 or 5 years - the discounted contract would be $4m for 4 or 5 years. Note that the final contract does not adhere to the extension contract limits ($4m/year would normally qualify for 3 or 4 years) - the length limits apply to the original amount, not the discounted amount***
***This discount may be applied in addition to the Prospect Discount. It must be applied to the already discounted amount. So it's 30% off the original for prospect, then 20% off that amount. NOT 50% off the original extension price.***
***The discount may only be used on expiring players - it may not be used to extend a player who is currently under contract.***
***The discount IS trade-able***
Good luck!
