| Message | Sorry Goon, no time, no time. I'm not making an official proposal yet, because I want some feed back on these ideas. But it is something like this - 3 more picks for each GM - however staggered through the season. For instance - adding one extra round to this year's draft (many GMs have already voiced their endorsement of that idea), but then adding another pick at the 1/4 mark of the season, then keeping the mid-season, then one pick at 3/4 (or NHL trade deadline). Same rule would apply - last pick to first in the standings. This would help keep freshness in the league, through out the season. GMs would have to be on top of their game when drafting free agents. (i.e. they would have to be weary of just picking up the guys on top of the leader board in the early season). It would also create some hard decisions for wealthy GMs as they won't be able to keep players that are FHL worthy at times. The value of prospect picks would go even a little higher (because teams would very easily be able to get them into their line up), but regular draft picks (including mid-season) value would go drastically down, but I think it would be worth it. Let me know what you think on that one. I have 2 more minor in nature rule proposals - I let you in on them later. |

| Message | No I don't have final p.o. update right now - I plan on getting Stonch McKoy and provide a long awaited FHL Update sometime soon so we can all gawk at 2 more pieces of hardware for Duke. Next - ideas for rule additions for the FHL. When GM Epp and I first dreamed of creating a league like this we wanted it to simulate as close to possible what it would be like to GM a NHL franchise. 2 things have changed over the years that have affected pool life. 1) The salary cap: NHL GMs now have to have some serious skill in acquiring players that fit their salary structure. Unfortunately creating some sort of salary cap system for the FHL would be unduly complicated and cumbersome. 2) Motivation to climb up the standings even if a team isn't in the hunt for 1st. The FHL climate has evolved to basically 2-3 (maybe 4 teams) trying to win the title, the other 4-5 hoping for a bad year, trading away age for youth. This has led to some very dull lags at certain points in the season. The rule proposal I have thought of would address this lag. However I'm running out of time and letters for this post. I'll let you know soon about my proposals. |

| Message | What a welcome end to a brutal year. Once again, when the Canucks were out, I found myself watching more NBA playoffs than NHL. It's easy to realize why hockey isn't big in most warm climates. It's been 23-30 degrees for 3 weeks and I felt gross watching hockey. Congratulations to Miro Satan ... now get off my team! Also, good job Duke, you've proven to be the class of the FHL. Once again, it should be an interesting off season. |
