KCF0107 09/07/17 3:04:04 AM #46:	The Almighty Slashline! Throughout an offseason, I will be posting or PMing a thousand or so of these, so it is imperative that you understand this simple line of numbers. Here's an example slash line with descriptions on what each figure means: *3 / $7.50 mil / $1.50 mil* 3 = the length in years that the contract encompasses. With few exceptions, you can offer just about everyone a contract between 1-7 years. $7.50 mil = the total amount of money that the player will receive as long as he is not released. The average cap hit that a player will count against the cap is this figure divided by the first figure. In this example, it is $7.50 mil / 3 = an average cap hit of $2.50 mil. However, nearly all multi-season contracts will have ascending cap hits. That not only means that every season will not have a $2.50 mil cap hit, but players will count more against the cap the further they are along in their current contract. The cap hits for the above contract might end up being $2.08 mil, $2.45 mil, $2.97 mil. If a player plays out his entire contract with the team that signed him to the contract, only the first two figures will matter. If not... $1.50 mil = the amount from the total that is guaranteed. This means that no matter what, the team who signed the player to the contract is on the hook for that amount whether he plays out the contract, is traded, or released. If a player retires under contract, you are no longer financially responsible for them, so that is not a factor. This figure can essentially be seen on the Team Financial sheet as Annual Bonus. The Annual Bonus is the total guaranteed money divided by the length of the contract. In this example, it is $1.50 mil / 3 = $500k. Continuing to use this example, if you trade or release this player after the first season of the contract, you will incur cap penalty (aka dead money) of $1.00 mil for the offseason that follows the release/trade. It is not $1.50 mil because he already played out one year, so his annual bonus was $500k x 2 = $1.00 mil. On the flip side, anyone who is traded a player not only pays a lower cap hit due to the annual bonus being erased, but that also means that they are only on the hook for non-guaranteed money and can subsequently release or trade that player in the future without any financial repercussions. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:886170577] in Board 8 Na...
