Rule Discussion - Free Agency Matching

[norrya66]

I like the new list.

I wouldn't be terribly opposed to this small change as it it hard for most to afford a 8.5 or 8.7M contract with a tight cap budget....

I am not a fan of most changes but this one wouldnt hurt too much I dont think

[nelly85]

I think this is a very minor revision using Forward Rankings as the example.

1   8.7                  7.9
2   8.5                  7.6
3   8.3                  7.3
4   8.1                  7.0
5   7.9                  6.8
6   7.7                  6.6
7   7.3                  6.4
8   6.9                  6.2         
9   6.5                  6.0
10   6.1                5.6
11   5.9                5.4
12   5.8                5.3
13   5.7                5.2
14   5.6                5.1
15   5.5                5.0
16   5.4                4.9
17   5.3                4.8
18   5.2                4.7
19   5.1                4.6
20   5.0                4.5
21-25 4.5             4.2
26-30 4.0             3.8
31-35 3.5             3.4
36-40 3.0             3.0
41-50 2.5             2.5
51-60 2.0             2.0
61-70 1.5             1.5
71-80 1.3             1.3
etc...

I think this speaks to the idea of proprietary interest and hometown discount without adding clauses for matching or compensation. It will also give slightly greater pause to some GM's considering releasing players to free agency but nothing radical.

Consider that the extension value for James Neal would be $7.6m instead of $8.5m.

New numbers set for approval. This would also be adjusted for defensemen as well at the same percent decreases from ranks 1-40.

Any final thoughts or suggestions?
