Expansion?

[saif]

it's cool, i'm for it, sort of sucks i wouldn't be able to get the first pick and i would end up with the worst record and drop to 7th overall pick, which sucks, maybe the lottery for those season shouldn't have 4 lottery spots, but 1 like in the current nhl, or 3 like the NBA, it just think 4 would be too many

That's why I thought it would be better to delay it a few seasons. To allow the 7 rebuilding teams to re-stock and start pushing back a bit before introducing more strugglers.

Another thought would be a potential DHL Re-alignment as well.

[Tyler - Columbus]

Just like the SHL, I'll put in for consideration of taking the GM spot for one of the new franchises.

If the argument is re-building teams find me a year in DHL where there weren't multiple. Its possible there are more/less right now than usual but there will always be at least a few hard tanking and a couple others semi tanking. Nature of FHL leagues. Just my opinion though.

This.

I've been here since season 6 and there will always be a half dozen teams retooling to some extent...and there were some other concerns about protection, the expansion is only 2 more teams so the most any team loses is 2 players which isn't a lot, as for the draft, tanking has never guaranteed a top 2 pick in this league so not much diff imo.

[Carolina Gm-Andrew]

All for it, and I believe it will help, not hurt parity, depending on the strictness of protection rules.

[Boltsgm]

Im all for it as well

[Steve - Nashville]

would not be for it.

[Michael]

would not be for it.

Care to share why? I'm undecided so want some opinions.

I think it would be good to have 2 expansion teams in the west and move me east to pantherland...much better balance of competition too...blues could move to minny since he is a homer, then make blues and yotes two new expansion teams...another awesome result of 30 teams will be the 6 divisions being top 3 seeds in each conference and also a much better fhl schedule which seems to be weird with 28 teams...

[Tyler - Columbus]

I'll take the Blues expansion team. Everyone knows that's all I talk about.

I am the longest standing Panther fan in the league. Not liking this power-grab from Chris. We going to have to fight buddy?
