Joke ass league lmao
First, this joke league gets 200iq outsmarted by Gillis and Gilman, approving luongo's contract.
Second, preds and other teams copy and abuse the contract format, and league decides to create the penalty.
Third, they included the Canucks to the penalty AFTER initially approving it
Fourth, they punish the Canucks because lu actually fulfilled most of his contract and was decent throughout until the last 2 yrs left. Florida pressures lu to retire, and he does.
Fifth, now they change it up for the other teams because it will punish them too hard :rofl: (wasn't that the fucking point?)
I mean they'll still be punished, but having 7.8cap for 3 years is a lot different than 24mil cap in a single year.
If anything the Canucks should have more leeway from the league, yet they're the most punished lmfao
Exactly. The spread still stings but it pales in comparison to a $24 million hit during one season. That would force you to trade away at least one star player for peanuts because other teams know you have no choice.
With the 7M spread you probably won't be able to ice a playoff team but you are not going to be forced to trade away one (most likely more than one) star player away for a bag of pucks while having your entire 3rd line, 4th line, and half your defense filled in with plugs because that is all you could afford.
The idea was to punish those who abused the system. So much for that. Furthermore the league should have done a better job implementing the cap scheme. Instead they release one that is ripe for loopholes to be exploited.
Pretty embarrassing to be so easily outsmarted lol. Maybe that is why the Canucks got shafted on this. The league is still probably bitter about them pioneering those type of contracts.
