POLL: Number of Amnesty Buyouts

[Jesse]

Well this kind of sucks. lol  Looks like I will lose a buyout because I don't have a big contract in my minors. 

I think if we do 2 we should be able to use them anywhere

[Drew]

Really sucks as I moved some big contracts out of my minors thinking we were not going to have a free buyout in the minors I also gave up some players and picks to move them out

Still 11 more votes so anything can happen.

Ill be the first to say shouldn't even have buy outs I took my team the way it was built agreed to terms to rebuild it and so I have this buy out gives loop holes to this who over bid on players in FA ex rimer and those who over bid to Gain a player for one year but spread there contract over 2 years hence y I lost afew players in FA thinking more then just 1 year !! So I say limit 1 player in general doesn't mater minor or main makes it fair for every team to use this new LOOP hole ...

I voted for one in majors and one in minors.

I understand people saying that this is a loop hole. My vote was cast due to the fact that we are trying to emulate the NHL as close as possible. That's the whole point of this league right? S it may be a loop hole, but the loop hole is happening in real life, so we might as well do it as well.

And I also voted for a minor spot because I hate seeing some of those overpaid veterans rotting in the minors.

[Tony]

I changed my vote to 1 (use anywhere) 

[Drew]

2 more votes needed!

[Tyler]

I can't vote from my phone but it would be 1 major 1 minor

[Tony]

Looks like 1 (use anywhere) wins.  When are we going to allow the buyout? after the season?

[Drew]

Poll locked, that is 18 if I include Tyler's

Vote was in favour 1 buyout to be used anywhere. I am good with this as it can be used by some to get players out of the minors that could be on major league teams and can be used to reduce cap due to the 6m drop in cap space.

Stipulations:
- Will be a period from after Extension Period #2 to a week before the 2013 Entry Draft that the buyout can be used
- Can not be used on players that were signed to extensions in 2012-13

Up for debate:
- Be used on players who retire following the 2012-13 season, yes or no
- Others?
