FNHL VOTE: 2021-22 CAP 5% DECREASE?

[99WildThing]

I think with static extension values for close to ten years, a small reset like a 5% decrease over the NHL cap ceiling value should help FNHL keep team finances in check league wide. I think this would reduce the gap between the top and bottom teams in FNHL. For me, I want to be part of a sustainable competitive league and this is a step in the right direction.

Colorado is an easy NO but would revisit.

I need to see the impact of the forwards pay raise over the next two years. I think that move alone will correct the league.

Folks should recognize both the forward pay raise and this cap decrease would increase the value of draft picks. They should also realize the financial stress top teams have of losing a player w no return. We might see a Kadri or Wilson only worth a second round pick going forward. But then similar talent getting scooped from FA for 6m.

From mathematics perspective the two expansion franchises and yoy league cap increases have added a rough 400m in available funds in the last handful of years. The salary increase is more complex to navigate than this high level overview but the top 40 players in the league picked up about 5m per in pay raise so there goes half the gap. I suspect more than the remaining 200m is consumed by the other 250 forwards impacted with the pay raise.

My first vote. Being the owner of a couple of teams how does my vote count? Ex. 1 vote per team which equals 2 votes. or can I split my vote Yes for one and No for other? Or sometime more complicated like 1 owner vote for a pair of teams but reduce overall team count by 1 so ratios work? Just want to be sure. Thanks.

I think it would actually be good for FNHL after the expansion draft to go with a cap decease. If it negatively impacts our league we can stop doing it the following year. Simple as that.

30 days for FNHL owners to have their say.

Does this make sense?
Will it help the league overall?
Does this hurt FNHL?
