Like NHL... there are good GMs and bad GMs. Some do a great job handling the Cap and other load up tight and over pay without thinking ahead. Trading for UFA come cheap... nobody is willing to pay for risk since we use a resigning probability system that determines if the player want to resign or test the market. Our trading dosen't compare to NHL, so much movement that the Cap dosen't really stop anyone... it's just a little more number game. You can get easily get some good UFA's of overpaid talent toward the deadline for a club in the running. Make great fun and a very realistic NHL approch. - Beejer Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:50:23 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4336-salary-caps-pt-1-to-cap-or-not-to-cap#comment-19176 In a couple of salary cap leagues, but we set our own salaries and contracts ourselves, doing a UFA auction bid process. You can draft prospects, sign them to cheap contracts, re-sign them as RFA's using formula calculated salaries until they reach a certain age or number of seasons in the league, and then it's an all-out UFA auction bid. Max contract length is 4yrs. One of the leagues also allows us to put target one RFA on another team to an offer sheet. Works great, it's fun, and we don't worry about the NHL salary, it makes us accountable for good and bad contracts. - Mark Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:23:23 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4336-salary-caps-pt-1-to-cap-or-not-to-cap#comment-19169 In a cap league and LOVE it. The way our league is set up, you can keep as many players as you want and this allows teams to rebuild very quickly and become competitive again. Top teams are toppled quickly as their elite players get massive raises, so there are no dynasties (so far!) which make it a lot more fun for everyone. Only issue we've come across is that Defenders really lose value with limited categories. We don't count Hits or Blocked Shots, which are just too important for D. - Chris Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:17:29 +0100
