So what happens when you take over a team that has no funds in the bank due to missing the play-offs year after year? There is a reason teams become available and it usually has to do with losing so new GM's get a poor team on and off the ice. I spent the entire season in the red and it took me until my final home game to get to the black. I made the play-offs and made a profit but am now going to be hampered by signing bonus money. Once again I am just making an observation, not sure what the answer is as you obviously can't have teams spending their way into oblivion either.
All teams when they move in, if they have less than 10 million are reset to 10 million.
Observation - most teams that have been poor throughout have more cash than those spending to the cap limit. I do find it hard to believe you are in as bad a situation as you are financially, I know you were a cap team last year, and that hurt, but I would have thought you would have had more cash
HMMMM....I have absolutely no recollection of having a 10 million dollar bankroll....and I submitted numerous articles for extra cash as well as won the draft pick order game so I have no idea where the money went.
