Here is the problem with changing something now, after the draft. And yes I am involved, but that is irrelevant.
Teams have built their squad with teh rookie cap in mind. I know that was part of my negotiations with Ian trading Kane, and yes, its part of my team with Gagner.
I am not opposed to altering it, but given the timing I don't think it is really that viable for this draft class, but something we can look at implementing next season
I think it would be fair to leave this season as is and then move into the higher rookie cap next season.
Also as long as teams can dispute any contracts they are not ok with, if it would save time and emails to the league, to have bryce run through all the ELC they I am ok with that.
