as lame as it would be to see some young kid who turns into a stud in the NHL being rated poorly or regressing each season I loathe the idea of a league filled with 80ovr type players. I look at the rosters of other leagues and that's what it seems like happens after 5 seasons or so. it's ridiculous to have an 80ovr 3rd or 4th line and i feel this current method creates much more of an overall "Team building" concept. you can still acquire young guys who are highly rated and have them created to their abilities (this was addressed last season with the re-working of the prospect creations) and when they're really young you stand a much better chance of them progressing as they have quite a few seasons to play through. Not to mention they're cheap and therefore you can pay the ridiculous salaries for a UFA and then have your prospect play with them in an attempt to bolster their stats and have a greater chance at getting a positive increase during the auto re-rates. (my guys who went up were by and large guys who had good seasons for their ovr ratings). I expect this respone from a guy that has a good team,how about a rerate down for ovechkin lol.The system did not work for my team I had 4th liners and farm guys that never played go up in ov.Guys like clarkson,boyle,jacques,stortini,giroux and others were terrible and some never played there ov goes up.Guys like omark,jones ,paajarvi,dubnyk stay the same as well as others.I'm not asking for much like 1 nhl rerate per season.

Paying those insane salaries isn't going to bring us down a good path either, nor is following the NHL cap wise - our finances as a league are out of control and can't be supported. Nick gave us a ton of money to slow the bleeding, but it's still there. $11.5 and $12 million contracts aren't going to help.
The sim is going to have a mind of it's own, which is cool and rather realistic - not everyone pans out. But still, to have Antti Miettinen right there stats wise with Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle in a rather fresh league is a little crazy.
Which is why we should vote down the deal.

I'm for NHL re-rates. Brent Burns has been disrespected big time in this sim. Third in the NHL in goals last year among defensemen and his SC rating is a ridiculous 65.

The only discussion that should be going on is what this league is going to do about the salary cap and high salaries, everything else was discussed and voted on. We can't be going back and forth or else everything will turn into chaos.
I offered those high contracts because those were players that would instantly change my franchise around into a playoff contender while my younger players develop. I only offered those ridiculous contracts because how else would I get them? If you don't offer big bucks in this league you don't get anyone!
I like the idea of a few prized players and a lot of realistic rated players, the worst would be if this league turns into a bunch of 80+ overalls everywhere. That's what makes it fun, to go after those highly rated guys and to covet them as prized possessions. The path this league is on is fine, we just need to figure something out about all these high and costly contracts. I admit to offering very high contracts but how else would I had even had a chance to get them? If I didn't go after these guys I'd stay in last place - that wasn't going to be my case again, I rebuilt, paid my dues for a year. I had to offer those large contracts because everyone else did!
