Is the playing field level enough and/or is there enough incentive to win? Would love to hear what others have to say. Think this could be a fairly wide ranging convo. Why I ask is that it generally seems that there are only a couple of real contenders each year and even those teams tend to prioritize the future over the present.
For me this is highlighted by John Carlson being made available for picks and prospects by a team ranked 3rd over-all in the standings. Not being critical of the GM and I get that Carlson is on an expiring contract, but really? I also understand that there is a trend in the real NHL towards youth. Real GM's are increasingly reluctant to part with picks etc. Eliot Friedman's latest 31 thoughts comes to mind. But still. I'd rather see a powerhouse like Winnipeg go for all the marbles and keep Carlson as an own-rental. The same with Pittsburgh. Sure losing Guentzal is tough but is there not enough parity in the league to still try and compete? Is there not enough incentive or are the two front-runners so clearly ahead that it isn't realistic to try? The issue runs deep in keeper leagues. GM's love the potential of youth and I am no exception, but that can't be the greater motivation in building a team. There should be more desire to win. |
