FA Questions

[Myles]

Low-sal contracts are going to be handled by DDS. We probably won’t sign any deals less than the tax-payer MLE, which starts at 3.3M.

To answer your question Shark, probably early next week. Depends on how the rest of FA plays out, but at our current pace I would estimate around Monday or Tuesday we do the end of FA in DDS. Probably like 3-4 sims.

Beautiful, not long then! Thank you Boss!

Ivica Zubac??? You there? I just upped your offer and you have no others right now, can you answer the phone?

From the responses, I assume the PAs are not handling anything for the room MLE offers? Even though they are listed as an option on the form?

Yeah we weren’t sure when we started how far into FA we’d go, so we provided all the options. At this point, I don’t think we’ll be signing anyone to less than around a starting salary of 4M-ish. Doesn’t mean that every player offered a salary above 4M will sign, we’re fine letting a player go to DDS if they don’t like the offers they have here. But yeah at this point, anything that starts below 4M will just be a way of letting us know you are interested in said player. It might matter, it might not, the player might sign anyway. And he might not. Case by case basis.

That begs the question, how do we know what the player wants in this PA system? At this point, some guys have one or two offers and some are holding out for more money. Is there a formula for salary expectations?

For the most part, GMs have set the market (varying to wild degrees) but where there is one or no offers - it's tough.

I'm not participating but curious on that point - since we're not communicating any demands.
