Watchmen Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 3 hours ago, BuzzAndSting said: Yes, we know that, but cite anything that has referred to both salary caps as one number. I know what you're saying, but we take a lot of things from this league as "fact" without being able to directly cite the source. The Media Pro amount, for instance. What we know is that the commissioner, when pressed on the value of a salary cap, stated that the combined numbers would be "seven figures". It doesn't mean they're directly one number, but I think that makes it clear that they are intertwined and that the league probably doesn't want a wealthier team like Hamilton staying within the player salary cap but blowing past everyone with a giant support staff. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the draft is just an opportunity to showcase certain players and to supplement club scouting capacities. On paper, none of the players signed seem terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 What a mountain out of a mole hill. Sounds like they passed around a spreadsheet of potential targets from some agents and either tried to sign someone or not, totally optional.

Without some sort of informal draft there's no real incentive for clubs to submit scout reports for a collective database since it would just be a free-for-all. While I hate drafts generally, the idea is great. The clubs want to develop players to sell them on and the key to that is good scouting, but scouting staff are expensive and effective overseas scouting networks take a long time to develop. So pooling those resources to some extent is a brilliant way to fill that gap at this stage in the league's history. So yeah, I really don't see what the problem is supposed to be.

SpursFlu Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) I think what he's saying is the players available in the draft are optional. Like here are some players we've identified. You want to sign one? We think they're decent and they have expressed interest in playing in Canada People are making things way too complicated Edited January 8, 2020 by SpursFlu ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowsweatygorilla Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Owundi, Malonga, Gattas (all solid, even key, contributors) leaving makes me worried that there is indeed a foreign player age cap in place..
