Are we going to vote on the cap before the playoffs are over? Talked about going to 80? Wouldnt hate doing a mini cba and setting cap 80-82-82-86 or however we vote the next 4 years so teams can plan and build their team and we don't have to discuss it every year. Just a thought.
This is a tough situation since I'm not even sure of the number of teams for the next season. Most likely we have to go to 14 teams as I've been saying earlier. That would mean a big raise in the Cap Hit. But the Cap Hit will raise in any case. Maybe it would be fair to begin that discussion ASAP but there are much more pressing issues in the league at the moment like trying to make sure we even have enough active GMs for another season.

My plan was to enjoy the current playoffs and then have lots of talks and polls going in the month of May.

Yeah I think we have to find out how many teams we're actually gonna have next year before we decide what to do with the cap and whatnot...

If we need another gm, I know a guy who would be willing to take over a team. He's been in a few leagues, never a keeper league though

Bay Harbor and Ottawa are without GMs. But many other teams also have GMs that are almost never to be seen. I'm trying to contact these more inactive GMs to try to get a better picture who's still with us and who isn't. I know this doesn't sound too good right now and I admit that it is super frustrating for me too, but somehow we always survive the hard times. Hopefully this time as well.

Right now I want to concentrate on the positive vibe we have here. I just want to enjoy these super exciting playoffs, have a fun awards gala and then see where we stand. Sorry that I don't have more answers right now, it is what it is. But I'll be having some talks with the Staff soon about the future of MHL. I'll keep you guys informed.

But for those who are struggling with what to offer their pending free agents right now, I can almost guarantee that a 80 Mil Salary Cap is pretty close to what we would want to have, especially in a 14 team league.

Sounds pretty grim there pete. If we're only down to a handful of active GMs we could always just do an entire redraft and basically rebuild the league as a last resort right? Probably would attract more GMs if everyone is able to draft up their teams again. I dont know here just brainstromin'

I really hope we found a few gm vs starting from new. I think I would prefer this league die vs starting fresh. We put soo Much time into moulding our team to simply starting fresh would break my heart. I much prefer looking back at 10 great years vs 10 great + a few terrible years by rebuilding it to see it fail again . I just don't see the motivation of restarting fresh since it will simply be for a small instance and then poeple would get bites and disappear. So hopefully we can find some active gm and hat love this league as much as us .

I'm on the team of the idea where if mhl can't exist as it is, we re draft and ultimately downsize, losing inactive GMs alongside GMs who might not be into the idea of a clean slate/more competitive league.

Obviously we'd have to take a vote and/or see who would be interested in doing either, buuuut for right now, let's just hope we have an exciting end to these playoffs!
