Contract Insanity
Could you please look into the contract issues? Once we you get 5 to 7 years into Franchise, all of a sudden your Low Elite Potential, 3rd line Forwards, who are getting 3rd Line Minutes are asking f...

I have had players who never played an NHL game want 10 million for an extension. They spent 2 seasons in AHL improved enough to make the NHL roster for 3rd season and want insane money as a 78 overall unproven low elite player. It has been this way for several years now.
@grkub Have you or @Beauts90 or @IrishOwl had any luck with contracts since the patch? The only thing they touched was they supposedly decreased the salary demands from players who had a good season.. wondering if this affecting anything..
I’m assuming the low end players that haven’t played any NHL games are still asking for huge contracts?
I gave up on this game.. it keeps crashing and corrupting save files.. goal syncs.. you know

- @heavydutyrammer Just had Barrett Hayton ask for 2 mil after playing 3 NHL games and a full season in the AHL (injured for half of it) and Kirby Dach put up 75 points and ask for 13.5 million, they didn't fix anything
I've not played, but I talked to a friend of mine, and he said in an new Franchise he's started, its been better, but one started prior to the patch is still just as bad.
I’ve only been screwing around since the last patch with some other guys rosters as I don’t want to take the time to do them myself if the game is still pretty broken. Maybe this week I will get around to doing it unless I do get the syncing issue more.
I haven’t had that crazy of an ask yet from what I have seen so far and I have simmed a bunch of seasons.
It does seem as though any young player's contract demands are a dead giveaway of how high their progression is going to be after a few seasons.
Usually when a young guy is asking for a bunch I just let him stay an RFA until camp and then the price goes lower. It gets way lower if your willing to wait until Nov 29.
all the CPU controlled teams suck at managing their cap so they never have room to make an offer anyway.
Its not young guys asking for a lot of money - What you are talking about it a common bargaining tool.
The issue with the game is that if you play deep into a 25 year Franchise, you start to see playing getting paid 17 million for 1st Line Players, then the 2nd line players want 12 million and the 3rd line players are asking for 7 million. It becomes impossible to actually keep a team functioning that way.
Example, I had a Top 6 F ranked at 86 at 28 years old - He had 50 points in 82 games (and a couple injuries) He was me 12th best player, but fit the Line Chemistry perfectly. He wanted 14 million for three years. My 95, 22 year old Franchise player only wanted 5 million for 4 years, and my 38 year old Top 4 D who had a 78 overall wanted 11.2 million.
Some players don't make sense in the contract they ask for, and others ask for obscene contracts and your can't negotiate, or offer rolling increases, or anything like that. When you start off with 80 million and by year five you hit 100 million in cap, and the slalries dont' adjust you start to price out players. I made it so season 23 once, and had my AHL level players (70 to 74) on my 3rd, and 4th Lines as well as my 3rd Pair in order to afford my starting line. About 20 players with 85+ overall, stayed on the Free Agency List as they wanted 18+ million dollar contracts.
