2013-14 FNHL Commissioner Nominations (deadline APR 28'13)

[PigsRule]

as i'm only signed on to commish franchise NHL for this upcoming 2012-13 season, i would like to put in place a process to nominate + confirm the next FNHL commish to ensure a smooth transition and take care of this important piece of league admin up-front.

as a deadline, let's set November 30, 2012 April 28, 2013 as the date to get agreement on and confirm the 2013-14 commish! 


PROCESS

• if you're interested, please post your intent on being scrutinized, used n abused, and putting in lots of hours to organize things.   
• also, if you have any previous background as a commissioner of a hockey league - pl. state it for everyone's knowledge. 

ok, let's hear from interested ppl OR nominate someone you feel could continue to grow the league ... and remember, as a commish you will need to have time as this is a manually run league due to the salary cap set-up on profsl.


feb21-13: deadline pushed back to apr28-13 from nov30-12 due to NHL Lockout and delay of hky season.

i believe (though it's just an opinion), that a person who already commish's 1 profsl league has capacity to commish a 2nd, but no more than 2 on profsl as it's very involved.

that said, drew's a great commish but already has profsl responsibilities + Backyard and is already the default roving FNHL commish in case of an emergency.

i'll nominate izaman3 + snugerud as both have shown strong knowledge, great opinions + high activity level since joining. all reasons i recruited them for FNHL. 

also Capn Cally (if he had capacity to devote the time which i understand he's short of this season for involvement) given his hockey knowledge and willingness to share opinions on rules and ways to improve leagues he participates in. that's why i wanted him to join us in FNHL. 


these are only 3 suggestions + i haven't discussed this with any of them so they may decline outright. we'll see.

I'd be happy to help in any way possible

Never commished a league, but never really tried either.

Thanks but no thanks,  this league will require way more time than I am willing to commit and I see about a 2-3 year project to bring everything in line, close the loop holes and fix (what I view) as scoring issues.  Not something I am willing to take on at the moment.

  i figured you might say that given what you told me when i sent you a league invite. actually this is a great league with more and more true advanced GMs who want to see the league get better annually, more competitive and see GM stability ... a huge issue from what i could see in achieved posts from 2010 when it seemed like GMs were extremely inactive or came and went regularly after destroying their roster.

fair enough snugerud! fair enough.

I nominate myself.  I have always had a vision for the league and it seems now it has strayed from the original intent (of creating a life-like imitation to the NHL).  I have the time and know how to make this league killer.  I understand that it takes a team to manage a league and through a team anything is possible.  I would look forward to the comish job.

Sorry ,my opinion Joe, is that you should not be involved in running the league.  From past history, it proves your table is full,  no involvement for months.

I completely disagree.  Furthermore, if you knew the behind the scenes, and other actions, there were reasons I stepped away for a short time.  I had not left my team in bad shape, and had the rules not been changed it would have been a contender as is. 

However, opinions are like...well you know.

Furthermore, I was the commissioner of a league recently in which I maintained it.  Agents vs GMs, which unfortunately just didn't recruit.  This was acknowledged by the group and it was deemed a failed project.  It truly needed an entire reboot.
