June 27, 200620 yr This is awesome, the NHL minimum team payrolls have increased from $21.5 million to $28 million, this means essentially every team that was hovering right around the previous minimum is now FORCED to spend more than enough to sign a couple big name free agents. Also, the salary cap has increased by $5 million to $44 million. The minimum and maximum payrolls are entirely dependant on revenue generated during the previous season, so the NHL and it's teams all made a lot of money and as a result teams are now forced to put that money directly back into their teams. I never thought i'd say this, but MLB needs to take a hint from the NHL.
June 27, 200620 yr Hopefully we get two big names All we really need is Jovocop as far as big names. And then we just need, as I have said many times, a Mike Sillinger type special teams specialist which we sorely lacked last year. And then leave a lot of money to give multiyear deals to Bouw, Van Ryn, Horton, and Weiss. I read that we are going to give them multiyear deals or at least try.
June 27, 200620 yr Anyone know where I can find a list of UFA's? I would post it, but the site is down right now. Here is the link for future reference: http://www.geocities.com/floridapanthers2000/free2006.html
