I would like to find out opinions on either freezing the cap hit during the off season or implementing a 10% variance that teams could go over.
Simply with all the re signings, trades, the draft and FA bidding to come it is difficult to stay under the cap all the time. This would allow teams to make those moves with out the pressure of making sure they are under the cap and to make the necessary moves to get under with out making rash decisions.
If we decided on a 10% difference which I think would be fair (and also mock the NHL) the cap would flex an extra 8.5 mil to a max of 93.5 million until a certain date say a couple of weeks before the start of the season then teams would have to get under the cap so that there is enough time for roster checks and updates to be done.
thoughts ?
