Two Questions

[Mike1294]

1. How do you resign staff members? The only option I have is to release them.
2. What is the strategy with restricted free agents?
3. One more question. Do players in the minors such as the AHL count towards your salary cap?

Loving the game keep up the great work guys.

I am not complatey sure. Someone else can help you with that one.

2. What is the strategy with restricted free agents?

Look up the RFA rights and stuff online. It's the easiest way to understand how it works but if you have a guy who is RFA, you have to give him a qualifying offer to keep him and if someone else signs him you can either match the contract offered or take compensation for the player being signed.


3. One more question. Do players in the minors such as the AHL count towards your salary cap?

Players on 2 way deals dont unless they arecalled up and on the roster but if a player has a one way deal, im not sure. I think they dont but count towards your payroll

1. When you have a staff member with an expiring contract you will get an email about whether or not you want to extend them, I believe around mid-June.

The update will also add an option to re-sign staff (via right-click on their name) at any point in the staff member's final contract year.

The first $950,000 of the player's cap hit isn't charged against the team's cap amount if he's in the minors. Players on 2-way contracts have a cap hit equal to their minor league salary if they're in the minors, so that effectively means they never affect the NHL cap if they're in the AHL/ECHL (since the minor league value of the contract will never be >$950,000). But it's no longer possible to do, for example, what the Rangers did with Wade Redden - bury an NHL-caliber player in the AHL to save all of a multi-million dollar cap hit - because every dollar above 950k counts against the NHL cap.

Thank you for the explanation
