MessageLive from Phx - July 4 - Indeed, Mr. Lindout has expressed a strong desire to the commissioner (on numerous occasions) to acquire a FHL expansion franchise.

From my recollection of our expansion talks, there was not significant interest from FHL GMs to pursue expansion at that time.

However, I do believe it is time to explore the possibilities once again to expand the league to 9 teams. The first question would be - is there even interest to work at expansion. After we have consensus on that question, then we would pursue drafting a expansion format which would then come to a vote.

If we do decide to pursue expansion the process will take time - in other words, don't expect us to have expansion plan ready for the beginning of the '11-'12 season.

Messagegoon, on what page was the last round of expansion talk? it's been so long i cant remember my own opinion .. oh yeah, just the risk of making the middle-of-the-pack one team bigger.. but we added 3rd place money which might help interest for some during the dog days of the season..

Whether I am for or against expansion depends completely on the expansion draft and roster rules.

I really think this upcoming year might be the year for the Canucks smilie

MessageSo what's everyone's appetite like for expansion? I know when we discussed this issue during the season everyone indicated that they were not apposed to expansion, but the timing and details had to be right. A fellow named Scott Lindhout has voiced his enthusiasm and desire to enter the FHL for the past year to several GM's including Commish Brown. In looking back on past expansion comments, everyone seems in favor of expansion, including Brown, but the topic continues to be put to the sidelines. I for one would like to know as soon as possible if expansion is a possibility, with plans on making significant changes to my roster this off season already in discussion. A direct statement by Brown on whether Mr. Lindhout will be entering the pool now or ever would be appreciated so all current GM's can plan their rosters this offseason.

MessageNot the same but I like his style and I love Bryz to the Flyers!... I finally have a good goalie now....

and for the record, I didn't just try and take Yandle in the draft, I positioned my whole summer around that pick and traded up just to ensure that I could get him... smilie
