The proposal is to boost the potential of a random number of UFA players between the age of 21 and 23. Their POT scoe will be increased up to: 7 for players with 4 or 5 8 for players with 6 or 7 9 for players with 8 (there are iunlikely to be many of these)
Goalies will be included, so we could see a few POT 8 goalies appears.
The problems I forsee are: 1. Starting bidding wars with silly salaries being offered, however, this will only benefit teams well under the cap, who may also be teams with weaker players. 2. I will know who all the best boosters are. I could sit out the bidding myself, but I also look after a lot of teams and that would be unfair. 3. Should the list be anonymous or open to all. If anonymous, I will still know who they are.
Solutions: 1. We could limit the salaries to a maximum of $2,000,000 salary and bonus, and length to 2 years with no PO or TO, but this favours strong teams who could afford such salaries. 2a. If we go anonymous, I will bid only after the UFA rounds are over. 2b. If we go listed, I will send my bids in to another GM before anyone else and they can say if I won or not.

We have a cap, so I don't know why we should put in a limit for salary, maybe just length. If they want to overpay for a UFA, that's their problem. And I would say 2b for the solutions. You should have a fair chance at them as well.
By list, you mean who the boosted players are? Should stay anonymous as it brings scouting into the equation

Not really a fan of that idea.

Ok, voting done on this one as the UFA period was upon us. With a vote of 9 to 3 We will trial it and see what happens. We will go with anonymous lists and if I bid on anyone I will send my lists to Joe immediately on the rollover sim, and he can then compare my bid against others should I win and there be a cry of foul play. Everyone else can bid in the normal way as if for any UFA player.
Check out the schedule thread for more infomation on what happened as a result of this
