I guess I should be more selfish in this whole discussion, the 15 protections numbers is actually perfect for Seattle if grimmsters calculation is right, I never would have expected us to be forced to expose so little for the expansion draft  :lol:.

It is a little less than perfect for us but it somewhere where I am good with giving up those assets.

Fake Winter, check my idea above. What do you think?

Maybe teams lose players based off a capped total of TPE? Say a team cannot lose more than 1500 total TPE or some number the head office would decide. Would help the teams who have more players with higher TPE that they might lose.

That's actually a pretty nice idea.

No, because you weren't an expansion team.

Right I took over something worse than what an expansion team would be Smile

Someone else likes my idea! o:-)

No one wants to disassemble your awesome team JT, but if you have 600-800 TPE-players stuck on your 4th line then you can afford to give them up, just like Seattle can, and Texas and whoever else around the league has great depth at the moment.

And don't hype your players up too much, Sullivan is an inactive who has no plans to return so while he is a good player, it's not like there is a lot of potential there despite his relatively young age, and we both know what the deal is with Reinhart. If you lost these two players it really wouldn't be that big a deal as you make it sound.

How do you plan on "equally" affecting every team? Very interested in hearing that explanation.

The expansion affects no team more then any other on purpose, but strong teams will have the most appealing selections to make because they cannot protect all their good players.

That's equal on a expansion part, but not fair obviously.

Who cares

? Aren't you only bringing this up so that you can brag about how you turned the team around some more, just as you keep bragging about your awesome deep roster :lol: ?

Why not just have every team make

1 LW, 1C, 1RW, 1D and 1G available and call it a day.

The one with the 1500 TPE cap? I had actually suggested something similar to that (albeit simpler) in that no team can lose more than two players in the expansion draft. I would still prefer that one but yours is solid as well.

Because more than likely, there will be few actives in the draft pool. I still think my idea with the TPE cap of letting go of players is something worth debating.

Don't you know that's socialism?

So you want to make it youth soccer. Not everyone should have a fair shot out the gate, they should have to work for it.

Why don't we not have a championship game anymore? Just give everyone participation ribbons.

Don't screw over teams to increase parity.

Not out to screw over anyone. I'm certainly not celebrating losing teammates in Hamilton. But why wouldn't we want 14 competitive teams and make GMing all the more important? Why do you insist on condemning these new teams to an unnecessary hardship? Why shouldn't they get a bit of a leg up compared to previous expasions, so they don't face the same problems struggling teams in the past had to face? Why should they have to struggle for 4 years when it's not at all necessary? Most every team has franchise players playing on the 2nd or 3rd line.

I'm not advocating gifting them a cup contender. But I'm not sure why people seem to think new teams need to be full of 200 TPE inactives and earn their way to the top no matter how many years it takes. We have plenty of talent in this league. We can spread it around a bit more and make a better SHL. The games will still matter and I think parity will be the same as it is now. We can create thriving franchises not perpetual cellar dwellers.

I prefer your idea as well, but if the TPE cap is the only way to get expansion to happen I think that might be a good idea.
