Season 6 Re-signing Table (suggestion)

Well here's a table I've come up with for re-signings, let me know what you think.

OV------------------Yearly Salary (excluding signing bonuses)
< 55------------------$500,000 to $900,000
55 to 59--------------$800,000 to $1,100,000
60 to 62--------------$1,000,000 to $1,500,000
63 to 65--------------$1,400,000 to $2,300,000
66 to 68--------------$2,200,000 to $3,900,000
69 to 71--------------$3,800,000 to $6,400,000
72 to 74--------------$6,300,000 to $8,900,000
> 75------------------$8,800,000 to $10,000,000

I'd like to hear some opinions on this, whether it looks reasonable or not.

Also, I am considering allowing GM's to offer contracts when creating prospects. Salaries would vary from $500,000 to $850,000, so if you could post thoughts on both of these matters that would be great, thanks!

Personally, I like the Commish dishing out the contracts for created specs. If the player already has an NHL contract, it would make sense to use that one, while if the player doesn't, perhaps just an entry level contract would be sufficient, dependent on the player's age.

at first glance it looks like the max salary is too high, but i guess that they`re arent too many players that are 75 OV or higher.

as for prospects, i think we should hand them entry level contracts of about $850,000

That would involve creating another table, no? It's not a problem, I'm just wondering if that's what you're suggesting.

That's been the max salary since season 1, and yes there aren't a hell of a lot of 75+ OV players.

if we choose this system we have no choice but within that frame right

No, no...just go by the NHL standard. I'll have to find it for ya, but it's basic. The idea is that you have a max entry level contract of about....$850k, I think? You can add SB's to take care of the 'elite' specs. ie, Kane and Toews were well over the $3M mark if I recall, based on the fact that they were elite prospects.

Right.

if the numbers can be adjusted to a little less i could see it working, a good improvement would be like say over 71, it is garenteed over 6.5 mil a year and from 71 onwards its negotiable, forcing 9 mil is pretty steep

72 to 74--------------$6,300,000 to $8,900,000
> 75------------------$8,800,000 to $10,000,000

Go out and name the guys who could earn 9 million, then tell me if they're not worth it.

I'll begin with Mr. Crosby. He isn't even a ppg player. Doesn't deserve more than 7-8 millions and that's good for everybody on earth until the cap is increased.

its been a while since we've heard from the nords gm. i agree the ovrall isnt the only important stat, we need a bit of room to play with, kane will cost a fortune at some point since the super camp raised his stats so young

That's actually a very fair point Dave. That's why I did negotiating myself, but with complaints about "ridiculous contracts", I figured there needs to be some kind of set system.

I will keep this table for the time being but work on one that includes salary based on performance as well.

we got quite a bit of time to decide and work things out

I can see some tweaking done, but overall it's a good table

would this be in effect before or after rerates?

This would be for next season when trade negotiations start up again. So quite a while after re-rates.

I can't think of a way to implement scoring into this. Just because a player has a bad season, doesn't mean they are not worth the money their overall might assign them.

Similarly, a player who overachieves may just be a one-time wonder.

Ok well I don't see a problem with this table to be honest. Also, based on age, a player may accept a lower salary within their range. For example, you have an 21-year old coming off an entry level contract, maybe he still has rookie status, and he's a 67 OV. He may be willing to accept closer to $2,200,000, whereas a player of that OV in their prime (mid-late 20's; early-mid 30's) may be looking toward the higher end of their payroll range ($3,900,000).

I've also considered that salary will be affected by number of years offered.
