@SilentAssassn25 Wait until you 4th Line 78 over all asks for you 8 million for a 7 year contract. I'm telling you, I'm in year 23 of a 25 Franchise with the Seattle Kraken and my 4th line highest ranked person is 68 overall, because its the only way I can afford having my top 2 lines with combine salaries are 82 million (1 Franchise player, 1 Elite player, 3 Top 6 Plays, and 2 Top 9 Players_
