In terms of Top 100 Prospects Armchair has found more balance with all but one team now rostering at least 1 top 100 prospect.
(8) and
(8) still sit a top the rankings both having gained 1 prospect a piece. The biggest jump since last year comes from
(5) gaining 3 new top 100 prospects, the new GM is making great strides with the top end of their farm system. While
(4) and
(3) both moved down in the standings having lost 2 top 100 prospects.

The greatest news for Armchair comes out of the Top 30 prospect lists. The average number of prospects per team is now 28.5 (!) which is pretty close to complete parity of 30 per 30. However, once you dig into the numbers there are still some teams with more quantity than others.
(55) still leads the league even though it's lost 5 prospects since last year. The new prospect signing program for unowned teams has yielded great results with
(28)
(29)
(27) now all having sold farm systems ranking right in the middle of the pack. The biggest jump in the rankings going into the season comes from
(52) having gained an impressive 11 prospects since last season.

The biggest gainer is
picking up 5 since the 2022 trade deadline, while the biggest drop is
with -6. For the most part teams have picked up or lost one here and there, which is typical with graduations and off season trades. The average team has 3 prospects, which is good, and every team has at least 1. Also, if ya'll could stop trading Top 100 specs to
that would be awesome lol.

I have something new for Armchair this season, the formula is a work in progress and so I'd love to hear suggestions but each team is awarded 2 points for a top 30 prospect and 5 points for a top 100 prospect, but no points for duplicate players. This looks like the best way to rank and quantify the depth and quality of a system. As a point of reference the average farm should score a 70 based upon this formula. So this should give GM's a good idea of how their farms relate to the rest of the league and by how much.

I think it was the worst for most of us. It was a bad class overall. The top was amazing tho

@NHL LIVE we think we may be ready to open. You may post roster moves and/or trades as we work to refine our processing.

Daddy, has ProFSL hired you as a spreadsheet guru yet? Or you decline cuz it didn't include benefits?

All i get is abused. They keep me in the basement and force me to watch foot commercials.

Well that brings back memories when I was on the ProFSL staff and paid.
Yesterday

Daddy
:
ProFSL has to be established by having great product or at least different product. We had the same old members. "Get off my lawn" types wanting to run leagues that were identical to the others. If you want 100 of the same old guys never chatting and no guests on the site. We had how many years of that?
Yesterday

:
If running a league is so hard, How can i run 6 of them? At the same time.
Yesterday

Daddy
:
No moderators, no leagues, no leagues no traffic, no traffic no staff, no staff no profsl.
Yesterday
at 09:15:25 PM
Daddy
:
Its not as easy to find moderators. And if you are a moderator to come up with start up league concepts and do all that manual work. It takes a rare breed.

LM is the most thankless and simultaneously the most selfless thing anyone can do in this space. Thats why people dont do it.

NBA LIVE we are considering a draft to start like NHL LIVE has done. The expansion draft followed by the amateur draft.
Today
at 12:02:51 PM
Daddy
:
No expansion in NHL but NBA has Seattle & Vegas franchises and 30 teams can protect 5 players each.
Today
at 12:03:46 PM
Daddy
:
Teams can only lose one player via expansion draft.
Today
at 12:04:17 PM
Daddy
:
When we do a league in any sport we do it BIG we do it RIGHT and we do it BETTER than anyone else. Or tell us who is better so that we may improve. To my knowledge, there are no leagues on Earth like LIVE.
