I did wonder though, as I processed these deals, if we should re-order the criteria for who wins. Right now it goes $$, term, AHL%. I wonder if we should go $$, AHL%, term.

Something to consider for next season.

For now these rules have been in place for a number of years and have worked well.
The cost is very marginal when buying a player out in the AHL.
Sure the system has been in place but we've changed other rules too.
If its one way then teams may only sign 1 year deals. Thus more UFAs to n the following years pool. Also will increase trading as teams wont be scared of taking on multi year contact.
Maybe allow teams to offer 1 way?
Then go money, 1-way or 2-way, AHL %, term
