Unless the mindset changes, people are going to take the minimum...

I articulated my exact stance earlier in the thread, though. an appropriate increase in minimums is likely going to be insignificantly small on the player level without changing the cap in parallel, and if we change the cap to accommodate minimums we serve to do nothing but mess up the equipment/training pricing.

I debated something similar with someone in GM chat, but let's say NOLA had to pay Maj as if he were earning 150 tpe per season. His contract, over a three season life, would then be $9M instead of $6M. So NOLA saves $3M over the life of his 3-year deal. That averages out to $1M per season and that's quite frankly not something I see as problematic.

[QUOTE=timeconsumer,Jul 19 2018, 09:17 AM]If you raise the minimums all that will happen is people will sign for the new minimum, and still find ways to game the system by holding TPE etc until they re-sign and blah blah blah. You'll change the amount but the minimum game is going to stay exactly the same, and I think that could be a worse problem.[QUOTE]
