*S6 GM rule proposals

[Beaver]

I think that's a good idea. I hadn't considered it, nor did I specify, but I don't think that would be as bad for the league as it would be for the GMs of that team. It's an element of planning that I think would make the job more interesting and immersive. Plus the players would benefit. They could always (assuming the no cap trading rule doesn't pass) trade for more space if necessary. So while it might cost them to pay those consequences, if they have a real shot at making the playoffs I don't see a team not what they need to in order to continue allowing their preferred players to stay on the field.

The penalty in the past has been future cap penalties.

Yeah if it's just a future cap penalty then my concerns are assuaged, I highly doubt any GM would snake their player like that unless the team penalty was very costly.
