I feel like the max UFA contract value should be adjusted. The rules for Challenge #44 allow 2 UFA signings at $525 K, which is actually below the minimum contract of $575 K.
I think it should be adjusted to 2 UFA signings at somewhere between $750K - $1 mil, or 1 UFA signing at somewhere between $1.5 - $2 mil.
I played Challenge 43 just for fun, the contract rules seemed perfect. You could sign two depth guys or one useful player for those amounts, but the cap of $34 mil was basically half of what it is in Challenge 44.
It's a struggle to sign even an NHL-calibre player for $1 mil, let alone someone useful. A washed-up fringe player like Shawn Thornton, Brooks Laich, Chris Neil or Steve Ott is about all I can find.
I play with 1.4.1 engine with 9.1 roosters. Find it very hard find a player who can play in NHL under 1m. Only ones is overage unsigned european players who didnt sign for the team who drafted them.
Minimumum for an NHL players seems be around 1,7m. And then we speak about 3rd line winger 5-6dmen or an back up keeper. 2line forward 3-4 dmen cost like 2.9m or around.
