I would like to submit my bid to purchase the expansion Seattle Kraken franchise. To make that possible, I'd put my Anaheim Ducks franchise up for sale by January 1, 2020.
Thanks!

Oh man. I'd love to buy the Kraken and build the team out but I've got a lot of hours logged into Vegas and really happy with the direction we're going in. Whoever buys Seattle will have a lot of great players to pick from in the expansion draft.

I barely have time for one team. Don't know how you guys who have a couple of teams manage.

Oh wait, I take it back, we probably have the most fantasy hockey addicts of any league on this site right Blkhwkfn and Godzilla.

Noted. We've got you down for a PM interview, EndGame!

You should have my name down for this but if not, please add me.
Looking forward to talking expansion with you guys.

Ideally we bring in new blood either as owner of Seattle or an existing owner sells their team before being allowed to buy expansion Seattle Kraken.
Endgame gave a good example of letting go of Anaheim before taking over Seattle if he's chosen to run the Kraken.
I think the goal is to invite the best hockey people around.

Don't get me wrong, I think we have a great group of owners in FNHL (I'm actually shocked I haven't sniffed a trace of drama in FNHL. Definitely rare and welcome in fantasy sports). But we want new playmates in this sandbox don't we?

[blkhwkfn]

Hmmmmm.........I agree to an extent on bring in new blood, however there is a lot to do with an expansion team. More so than taking over an existing franchise, not saying it can’t be done. I just think an experienced GM is better suited for the task of ground up. A new GM usually gets a tad bit overwhelmed with all the rules and contracts ect. Just my 2 cents

I do agree on the quality of GMs we have here now, I remember my first year in FNHL there was some drama. That’s all been cleaned up, this is hands down the best league around.

[blkhwkfn]

Oh yeah I’m sticking with my current franchises
