Amendments for 2023 and Moving Forward

[Los Angeles Kings]

meaning AHL level players are on 1 way contracts

YIKES!

[Nashville Predators]

Louis, Brad, Tony etc are correct regarding which players would sign contract over $1 million based on our current RFA chart. The numbers / intervals referenced were created primarily looking at contracts signed last year, and the concern that players who are clearly NHL regulars (Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Philip Kurashev etc) but rated in the mid-to-low 60s would get signed to long term, low value contracts that don't reflect potential future growth.

However looking through the ratings as a whole, I do tend to agree that the quality of player at 66 OV ratings are generally not signing one-way deals. We will address this in the staff boards

I appreciate that you guys are taking a look at it. I think it might be helpful to visually map out the cost for each overall and see if it makes sense.

The threshold is 69 OV. I think the scale was being read incorrectly.

So 2 x 75k per year is 150k

so if you add that to 900k its 1.05m for a 66 rated player therefore the threshold is def not 69 overall.

The goalie threshold looks to be 69.

69 is BB territory

[Nashville Predators]

this proved to be a pretty quick fix

We are keeping the 64-68 OV base salary at 900k. However we will be changing the rating intervals to $30k. This means a 68 OV is now the threshold for a one-way deal

Wolf will update the chart and rulebook to reflect this
