OK SO AFTER HAVING DISCUSSED WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE HERE ON THE BOARDS, HERE IS A NEW PROPOSED STRATEGY (HAVEN'T SEEN IT HERE YET MYSELF)

SO IF GM RF's STRATEGY IS TO SPEND AS LITTLE CAP SPACE AS POSSIBLE, HERE IS HOW HE STARTS.

I SELECTED THE 10 RFA's WITH THE MOST EXPENSIVE "DRAFT CAP HITS".
AS WE KNOW, THE TEAM ONLY HOLD THE RIGHTS OF THE PLAYERS AS LONG AS SAID PLAYERS ARE NOT SIGNED BY THE CLUB. THEREFORE THE CLUB DOES NOT HAVE ANY COMMITTED MONEY's TOWARDS THESE PLAYERS.

IN TOTAL, RF CAN "BLOAT" HIS TEAM CAP HIT BY 17.7M WITH THESE 10 RFA's.

NOW THAT IS NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT...

THERE ARE 4 PLAYERS THAT "COMPETE" FOR THAT LAST SPOT OF LOWEST OF THE HIGHEST "DRAFT CAP HITS".

JUST ONE OF THESE FOUR MUST BE CHOSEN, SO IT MIGHT COME DOWN TO POSITION NEEDS FOR THE DRAFT.
AT 925K, THE 4 RFA's ARE:
BRAYDEN BURKE (LW) ARIZONA
DENNIS GILBERT (LD) COLORADO
COLTON POINT (G) DALLAS
CAL FOOTE (RD) TAMPA

I WILL CONTINUE THINKING ON HOW THE REST OF THIS STRATEGY IS TO IMPLEMENTED.

FOR STARTERS, TO REACH THE MINIMUM DRAFT CAP HIT AS PER THE RULES (48.9M), WE NEED TO SPEND AT LEAST 31.2M FOR THE REMAINING 20 SELECTIONS LEFT.

THAT'S AN AVERAGE OF EXACTLY 1.56M PER PLAYER

LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING GENIUS, OR ABSOLUTELY CRAZY... LOL

*SINCE I NEED TO HAVE 10 "SIGNED" PLAYERS TO PUBLISH, I SIGNED THEM FOR THEIR DRAFT CAP HITS
