I was able to hold a discussion with DJ today and we have the following changes being made effective today.
Comp Changes
We are going to 1 round of comp, it will be a sandwich round between the 1st and 2nd round. Players will still qualify for comp under the current guidelines, So there will no longer be an A and B, A and B will be merged together.
However the wrinkle in this will be is in the pecking order of who gets to pick where in the comp round. We are going to off of the total value of contract for that round.
For example
Player A gets an offer of 2 years @ 10M per
Player B gets an offer of 5 years @ 9M per
Player C gets an offer of 3 years @ 5M per
In the comp round of the draft the selection process would be
Team for Player B
Team for Palyer A
Team for Player C
The reason this is being done is because there are some Type B comp players that are getting higher contracts then Type A comp players.
Stadiums
It was asked to me about building of a new stadium and that is a bridge we have not crossed yet in our league. So here we go, this will be done on a team by team basis.
The cost involved will be as follows
new ballpark with all average convience, comfort and sight lines - 100M
" " with all Good " " - 200M
" " with all excellent " " - 300M
Now, you can build the park without the full amount of money and take a loan from the league, but you need to be able to pay over 1/2 of the cost of building the stadium and the rest needs to be built within 10 years. You also need to show and prove that you can budget yourself that each season you will have the funds to pay back to the league. So if you are someone that tends to overspend in FA or has issues keeping a profitable budget, then this will not be something for you. So this will be done and approved on a case by case basis.
For example, lets say you want a state of the art stadium with excellent conditions. You need to be able to pay 150M at the time of construction, the rest of the 100M would need to work out in payments, you can do it over 10 seasons of 15M a season.
