It took us a while, but we've finally discussed all pending rules suggestions:
Yearly Payouts change via New Jersey:
We have decided to alter our yearly payouts, taking what we already have and using a different playoff incentive, similar to Jersey's suggestion. Payouts will be:
32 teams x $30 = $960
Stanley Cup Champion: $570
Runner Up: $225
KPD Pacific Division Winner: $25
KPD Central Division Winner: $25
KPD Metro Division Winner: $25
KPD Atlantic Division Winner: $25
KPD Presidents' Trophy Winner: $25
Eastern Conference Runner Up: $20
Western Conference Runner Up: $20
We felt taking away money from the winner and runner up to give to teams winning playoff rounds takes away from winning the championship. We also got rid of prize money for vezina, MVP, etc... because fantrax won't allow you to distribute the money after NHL awards are revealed and that caused some issues last year.
Free Agency suggestion from Boston
We have decided to keep the UFA bidding process the same. These terms and limits were copied over from another league (NHL SIM) which has been running for several years now and these terms and limits have yet to cause much issue.
RFA acceptance suggestion from Chicago
We have decided to keep the process as is. While teams can spend more money in UFA by not accepting pending RFA's, it still puts them at a disadvantage as they will have now more cap space and/or bodies to move out.
Contract length suggestion from Montreal
We have agreed to change contract lengths to the term suggested by Montreal.
29 and under
7 years
30-34
5 years
35 and up
3 years
*Any player currently up for bidding will fall under the previous guidelines. This rule goes into effect effective immediately with any new players proposed for bidding.
