I predict the Cup final will go to 7 games, which hasn't happened for a while. There is no clear-cut front runner for the cup this season. Detriot won it pretty easily last year, and Calgary was dominant for the years before that.

I agree that we will see a 7 gamer in the JGHL Cup this year, but guess it maight depend on moves made by some teams.

The cap will determine a lot of the moves. Not too many cheap players out there on the market. Crazy how parallel we are with the nhl, with souray and redden getting sent down.

The new rules for resigning RFAs at minimum salaries has really changed our league. Players on cheap contracts are now even more valuable. I payed a lot to get Seidenberg, simply because there are not many top-rated players out there that I can aquire, since I am so close to the cap.
I think UFA prices will go way down in the coming years, as teams need to resign valuable RFAs still on their entry deals (like Stamkos on my team, or Tavares, or Duchene etc), and will have little money left over for UFAs. Teams may even need to sacrifice RFAs to afford them all... much like the real NHL.

That way if you want to grab unassigned players after FA has ended then you would have had to saved money during FA. That would bring down UFA salaries as well as unassigned salaries through silent bidding.
