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 never really had an issue with contracts being outrageous. Salary Cap goes up, guys ask for more money. Makes sense to me. lower tier players play decent, they ask for more money. makes sense to me. now with that being said... I am in the year 26/27 with the Devils and coming off a Stanley Cup win. Hughes is 25 years old and has been a consistent 70pt player during this contract. he is up at the end of the year, he will be 26 and a RFA. this is where it gets interesting. he wants anywhere from 12.5 to wait for it..... 19m per year depending on the length of the deal. that would be equal to or more than Mcdavid.... who is a 100pt player every year. 19m.... thats insane. never seen anything like that
The young players starting 3rd season I bring up with high 70's ratings have extension available not having played a single NHL game yet want 10-12 million as a low to medium elite potential player. This is an unproven NHL player who in no way should be asking for that kind of money. The patch didn't fix this issue. Veteran players who had decent season aren't asking for as much but the RFA players want top 5 NHL contracts.
@grkubYeah I can’t believe this still hasn’t been fixed.. like IrishOwl said.. having a 68ovr being the highest player on the 4th line because 1 franchise, 1 elite, 3 top6 and 2 top9 takes up 82 cap space.. that’s just insane… there is no NHL team that has 6 players taking up that much space.. I’m not sure what the ceiling is in IrishOwls game.. but I doubt it’s 160 million because on average teams only have 35-50% of total cap spending for their FWD groups… only a few teams had 55-60% such as the coyotes but they also have 10M in cap space.. and they took canucks bad contracts lol..
I just looked up all the stats on capfriendlt website to make a comparison just to show how awful the EA NHL 22 game logic is with contracts…
It depends on lots of factors.. but really.. on average, 4th liners should be 74ish-80ish players.. with league minimum contracts, plus 500k to 1.25ish M..
for example let’s say leave minimum is 1M… on average, your typical 4th liner should make 1M.. to maybe 1.5M.. but a good role player and trustworthy 4th liner that might also play decent PK minutes might get 2M.. or 2.25M.. situational of course.. now instead those 74-80ovr players are asking for 6-10M… that just doesn’t make sense… especially if they haven’t played NHL games yet…
I just don’t know how I can take a quick look at stats and contracts and percentages etc… and know that something is VERY wrong with the contract system… but this happens in the game.. and there were lots of issues in NHL 21 too.. with players asking for absurd contracts.. it wasn’t THIS bad.. NHL 22 is the new NHL 15 lol..
