Hey guys, I am starting a new full dynasty league with a salary cap. I've read about as much as I can so far to make sure I do it right. Our rules are here. The big questions of course is where do you set the cap number.
We will have 21 player positions and 12 minors positions + anyone on IR. I was thinking of going with a 25% floater but after thinking about it, that might be a little short. I'm thinking if you have a full minors that costs say $26M and you draft someone like McDavid thats almost $39M right there. A 25% floater on top of the current cap is $101,875,000. That only leaves you with about $62M to draft the next 20 guys on your team. Even without McDavid, and you take MacKinnon instead that still only leaves about $68M for the other 20 guys, hardly $3M per player.
Any suggestions on where we should set the float? We've really come up with two options just spitballing it. Set it at 40% which would make it $114,100,000 or leave it at 25% but the guys in the minors dont count, thus if you want to move someone UP from the minors you'd need the cap space to bring them up.
