Wow i was looking at some teams payrolls and seen 70,000,000 and many 60+ million dollar payrolls. Where is the fiscal responsibility and fairness when some teams are competing with 25-35 million dollar payrolls. Its time for some change and proper management. This will make for better trading and less overpriced bums hanging around the league.
any other thoughts?

I think a salary cap isn't needed. Spend the money and you can compete too! I hate salary caps.

Wow u sound like u should get a job in government Dave. Besides i dont think a Salary Cap would terribly affect your ability to continue to trade 3 times a week.
A cap would only make the good gms more successful and the league more competitive. And its time to start giving back to our fans by making games affordable not to mention dropping beer prices.

Hey, at least I don't let my own flesh and blood rot in the minors. I saw that you couldn't defend that one to your brother the other night. All in the meantime gauging breasts of every woman at the Roxy with your girlfriend on your arm. And me panting right beside you!
Why should I pay the price for those who spend foolishly? If I run a good ship, then why should I suffer with others who pay an exhorbinent amount for a player who isn't worth it. They're the one's stuck with the contract, not me, so if I spend properly, why shouldn't I have the opportunity to make deals that make sense to me and the player I sign.
And don't worry about my trading, when it's you who has a plethora of under-achieving stars, whom you can't move due to big, bad contracts!

Again Dave u made my points for me. Gms that run a good ship should be rewarded. Being stuck with huge contracts is not a penalty without a cap because the amount of money i pay for that guy is meaningless to me otherwise.
2) As for ogling breasts, this is not a crime, the human race should all come together and appreciate their milky goodness even my girlfriend. ( shes not reading this )
3) The Isles plan to have my Mr.Hoggan Rerated to properly reflect the intangibles he brings to the game. Their should be category dedicated to will work F----ing a-- off. I think if he was from Russia and scored more goals while having a plus/minus of -47 he would receive a better rating.
Last but not least the Isles would like to remind Atlanta of their recent two game sweep of their club. Like taking candy from a baby.
Thanks and Goodnight

oh now you're getting personal bringing in my two losses to you this week. It's one thing to charge on me for not wanting the cap, but if you want me to go and sign a bunch of goons for the next time we play you, I will. I have no problems with that.
P.S. Mark, call me, I gotta tell you about lalime and giguere where up to after you left the Roxy.

I'm in favor of a salary cap. The difficulties it'd bring for GM's would be awesome. It adds another dimension to trading, signing free agents and how you build a team period. I'd love the challenge and I'd love to "cap the idiots" too!
PS The NsHL tries to imitate the NHL product as close as possible, but when your CBA is outdated compared to the NHL's it isn't very realistic.

I am in favor of a $60 million salary cap. I am also in favor of breasts.

mmmmmm BOOBIES!
If we go to a cap system, it would have to be high like around $50,000,000. But it has to have a floor as well at say $30,000,000.

I think Dave's idea was great. Perhaps even something like $48,000,000 as the top.

If the BOD feels that a salary cap is needed, we will renegotiate the CBA. Obviously, we look at the finances of all the teams throughout the year and during the off-season. If a cap is needed, we'll institute one.
However, as of this season, almost half of the teams have made money under our current system. We won't fix something that isn't broken.
I do appreciate everyone input. It's nice to see that you guys actually care about the NsHL and seem to take a vested interest in the league. I appreciate it and it's dually noted.

Thanks for the info Nate: On behalf of the Isles I still will continue to push for the CAP
I wish for a world where Anson Carter does not make 9 million dollars a year. A world where Canadian market teams dont lost superstars to the New York Rangers(more NHL related) and a world where breasts grow on trees(Booby trees they shall be called in the name of the lord).
I think we could place a cap around the 45-50 million mark which is fair and would definitely add to an already great league by posing new challenges and twists to the league. I think it will only add to the profits of the league and financial strength of all 30 teams down the road.
Thanks

The Columbus Bluejackets don't see any need for a Salary Cap. Smart spending, and smart trading, and you can build a team from the bottom of the league, and a strong draft pick, to the top of the league, and hold numerous superstars, all while still having fantastic prospects.
It's all about making the right moves at the right times, and not overspending when you're not going to make the playoffs.
I for one would be very unhappy to have a slary cap put in, because after all of my hard work to bring in a ton of young strong players, I'd be forced to let them all walk when they got their chance to negotiate deals with me.
I'm all for setting a cap on signle player salaries (in the 9-10 million range) but as far as teams go, it should just be about fiscal responsibility.

I agree with the Columbus Evil Empire(LOL), who have a payroll of about 8 Million less then the Devils yet Columbus is at the top in the standings and the Devils are not, so spending a lot does not garruentee a winning record... This issue of paying too much for players us up to each GM, I offered Anson Carter between 5-6 million a year, when he went above that I was not interested. I did not think he was worth that. It is nice to be as close to the NHL as we can but at the same time we need to be our own league and learn from their mistakes and not hand out ridiculous contracts. The prob with the cap is what about existing contracts that are too high, that means you have to cut a % of existing contracts, to me this means that were are compensating GM's who made bad descicions, because then Carter's salary would come down to about 6 Million a season, so the team made a good move by only overpaying for 1 year. The catch here is that by signing a player to a overpriced salary the team now will have to let a couple of players go because of salary restraints. Next time the GM will rethink about overpaying a player...

Gotta agree, no salary cap is needed just need to be fiscally responsible. I didnt make any free agent signings in the off season last year and plan to make extremely minor signing this year most likely but I do believe I can carry a cup contending team at a payroll of under 50 million and closer to 45 million. All you need to do is draft properly and develop your prospects. Just my two cents at least.
