Tagger 2,722 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If you were to look at rosters alone, there really shouldn't be any reason to watch out for the New York Americans this off-season. After all, unlike most teams in this league, they have one of the better goalies in the league heading into S53 on their roster, don't have any of their better players set to enter Free Agency as it currently stands and are one of the few teams in the league with over 5 players currently contracted down for Season 53. What they do have though is a potential issue that no other team in the league has. Tom Lincoln is set to be on $4.5M Sir William Covington (Should he not use his Player Option to enter FA) is set to be on $4M Diana Maxwell is set to be on $4.5M Unassisted is set to be on $5M Essian Ravenwing is set to be on $3.75M Phil Shankly is set to be on $2.5M Bobby Digital is set to be on $3.75M Ilya Kopralkov is set to be on $3.75M There's three things here that are interesting: - 8 players (7 skaters), $31.75M. That's a lot of cap to spend on eight players. - 6 forwards, 1 defenseman. - There's another player set to be on the team, M.T Power. He's set for $1.5M. If the cap stays the same (which it absolutely should) and Covington stays, that puts the Americans over the cap by $1.25M. So while most of the other teams in the VHL are being asked the same questions (How are you going to fill your roster? What's your plan at goalie? Why do you still exist?), the Americans will be asked very different questions..

Banackock 8,049 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Very interesting. May be an enjoyable off-season. I think we're freeing up something like 12M while seeing a few spikes from players due to tpe jumps.

Devise 4,475 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Indeed, should be an interesting off-season to see what moves get mad/what happens.

JardyB10 4,865 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I suppose it's time for New York to do a full rebuild.

Kesler 1,514 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The fact that no other teams in the league have this problem means every other GM is slacking. Devise no fucking doubt should win GM of the season.

The worst part is with no cap I can't just trade all my draft picks such is my first and only instinct. I don't know what I will do.
