S2 *18-19* PROSPECTS

Okay sorry to hear that. 

Unfortunately your best player will be suspended each week until you are cap compliant. Starting w/ Sorokin, then Heiskanen and so on.

Luckily, you have a few options here before the season starts. Suggest you sacrifice Huckins, O'Brien & Kisakov roster spot to avoid having these suspension effect your over team and player performance. 

1) Sign NHL Player UFAs to realistic contract (I realize you sent in two offers for 9.0M x 1 for players that were both 63OA, thats not going to happen, its unrealistic and its only going to dilute player value when every team plays more rookies than actual NHL rated players and just hands out high contracts to guys that won't play)

2) Bundle your prospects and make a trade for an elite player with a high cap hit

3) Make a waiver claim or two (not sure who is on right now but could be a last resort option for a bit more cap)

4) Find shitty contracts around the league and give up minor players/prospects for them


Know its frustrating to miss the signing period and real life obviously gets in the way here, however I have to keep the league integrity high and realistic so won't allow GMs to play 10 rookies and pay two shitty AHL guys 10M each just to be cap compliant. Just doesn't happen like that in real life and it won't be happening here. 

Some may complain that the cap Ceiling was set too high, yet the Floor only increased 5% compared to the ceiling raising by 9%. Theres is no excuse to be under, other than trying to take advantage of the Upgrades system set for 18-19 Prospects. 

I know you will find a creative way to get within the cap restrictions, but this post is for every GM to realize that you cant play a team full of Prospects and expect not to be punished. This is the NHL, not CHL ha
