2yrs @ $0.3m

Niklas Hagman, $0.3m (2012-2013)

sdobelman21, i've got the same thing happening with Keaton Ellerby + Jerome Samson.
just send a PM to the co-commish's. 

... again not trying to be an A-Hole

I dont think that of u buddy... like i said, it's a suggestion with a discussion.

perhaps what helps make my pt is if one of the commish's or a vet league member could confirm how many franchise nhl teams were missing full-time mgrs July1st.

if more than 10-15% of your teams were AWOL July 1st, competition for FA talent is low - that's a key activity for teams to add immediate point producers.

and the double whammy here is, the un-manned teams (looked like 30%) also lost their pending Free agents 'cuz they werent extended/resigned (Thornton, Parise, Heatley, Bryz-y, Vokoun, etc.).

1. strong/manned teams got stronger July 1st
2. weak / un-manned teams got weaker June 25th... lost pending FA's
3. weak teams got nailed again July 1st - unable to compete for FA's

Core Issue: so you end up with a polarized league, and ppl bail because competition is skewed badly by Yr3. it's already noticably skewed in Yr2 wouldnt u say?

Look at Panthers lineup VS Wild/Pens/Bruins... lol

here's ur follow-up ... since your talking + asking...

FN, i see ur point - i did asked hockeyfreak6000, gilly + Jesse for some insight.
I heard it and given it's subjective, i'll diagree.

1st: building for the future... we're talking fantasy play - so waiting out 1-2yrs to rebuild "through the draft" is painful - if this were a paying gig, fine, but it aint. kills the point of fantasy if the fun-factor is closer to 0 than 10 because your team isn't as competitive.

2nd: no draft picks came back... they were traded away (see be-lo)

3rd: everyone's smart in their own way, but since the plan was only partially executed, it did leave a team somewhat crippled... anyone looking at the cat's roster cringles - especially relative to any team that finished even below the Panthers 11 thru 27...
