Relocations

[SlackJack]

I think it would be easier to realign the divisions next year to west, central and east. Heck, I think it would be interesting to realign every couple of seasons. I think adding two new teams would be too much where 18 is perfect in regards to schedule and play off alignment.

Has merit.

Yeah I vote for East, Central, West for this coming year.  I don't know about changing up the divisions every couple of years.  It's nice to make rivalries within your division with other owners.

I am going to allow the relocation to Washington! Minnesota is an American team and so is Washington but hockey is such a tradition in Minny that I was hoping to keep them around.

Thank you Drew!  Also can I have my AHL team logo updated to this...

Same team name and everything just a new official logo for them

So I cant go to LA correct?

What a can of worms I opened with the make-over.

                   EAST
               
               CENTRAL
           
                  WEST
         

Something like this??

  I like that! And gilly gets his kings too.

Yeah im sorry. I've been talking to Drew for a while about switching to the Caps. I just dont think the divisions work the way they are. I would approve of the next proposal so that Golly could get L.A. also. Seems to make the most sense at this point

I'll approve Gilly's move to . But we will wait and see if anyone else wants to move to a different city before a final realignment.

On another note: How can you split up Tyler and favo?

....we will wait and see if anyone else wants to move to a different city before a final realignment.

Now that this has been opened up (franchises changing cities) I think there should be some regulation. Something similar to the requirements on changing ownership of franchises. That, coupled with a couple of other restrictions. Off the cuff I'd say:

1) Have to have been a full-time GM in Backyard for a minimum of 1 year.

2) A GM may not change cities more than once.

3) Something to the effect that certain iconic franchises will always exist.                   The list is debatable but some franchises should be eternal.

4) Changes will only occur during a re-alignment year (even calendar years?)

5) All changes are subject to discussion and ultimately Commissioner approval.
