@BOG I know we implemented a UFA rule of substituting a signing from the next year to get an extra in the current year. I have an idea as an incentive for Playoff teams.
1st round teams - Extra 5% Bonus on UFA Signings (on team during TDL).
2nd Round teams - Extra 10 % Bonus on UFA Signings (on team during TDL).
3rd Round teams - Extra 10% Bonus on UFA Signings and 2 extra FA bonus points.
Stanley Cup teams - Extra UFA Signing (two teams get 2 UFA signings without taking away from the next year).
This will give an incentive to those who compete and either have a plethora of rentals, lack of draft picks, lack of assets, etc. This will help keep our game in balance and potentially continue for more than two seasons. I know Nick mentioned the decrease of potential UFA's if we gave all playoff teams an extra signing, so this is my proposal that allows only 2 more UFAs to be extended without using the next years signing.
Please reach out if you have any more questions or if we can talk about some type of idea that could work.
