Roster planner
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2023 8:34 pm
So, I'm back here again after a bunch of years of absence. Last time I ran a league was in 2014, and I don't think I've been in touch with STHS since. Now I just re-joined the league that I started back in 2008. I realized that you have come a long way with integrated website and all that.
But with this integrated website, there is one thing that I can't seem to find, that I think every GM would appreciate big time. A Roster/Cap planner. A tool that lets the GM see his cap commitments in the future, much like you can do with CapFriendly.
The idea is that when you click on the link to the Roster Planner, you will get a view of your team. This view is for the GM only, so that no one else can view it. Ratings are not needed. You kinda want the players names, age, position, and then Salary Year 1, Salary Year 2, Salary Year 3, and so on. Somewhere you should see the RFA/UFA status as well (based on league settings).
What you also want, is the ability to search for and add any player in the league, and remove players, so that you can see what your team and cap situation will look like after a potential trade, or maybe after the season when contracts are due. To take it even further, there could also be an option to manually add salary after a contract is due, so that you can plan with future contracts as well.
Of course, "Special Salary" should be included.
I guess people solve this today by creating their own excel sheets. At least that's what I'm doing. But it would be sick if the GM could have the option to do all this on the website instead. I mean. All the needed data is already out there.
Just tell me if I need to clarify anything. I have a pretty detailed view in my head of how this could look.
