RE: S78 mPT #0: The Myth - Stadacona - 08-07-2024
Every time I have hit free agency in a league where I do not know the majority of the GMs, I tend to regret it. I'm hoping to never experience that here.

I'd only leave WPG if their window was completely closed and I hadn't won one yet. Maybe when my current deal expires? We'll see how things come together.

I like my team. I don't think I'd seek to leave via free agency BUT I will say, the chance to have more playing time as a goalie would make me consider it.
RE: S78 mPT #0: The Myth - Dangles13 - 08-07-2024
I don't have much time left in these old bones but if someone was willing to pay me two or even three billion dollars I would strongly consider leaving my team.

Marcel Beck will never leave the Winnipeg Aurora. I honestly think he may just turn to dust if he were to wear a uniform other than the beautiful teal.

seeking a new team in free agency would be a big decision! For me to consider making a move, a few key factors might come into play:
- Team Performance and Ambitions: If a team with a strong track record and ambitious plans showed interest, it could be tempting. The chance to compete for championships or be part of a well-run organization might be a major draw.
- Role and Playing Time: If another team offered a more prominent role or more playing time, it could be a significant factor. Players often want to be in a position where they can make a bigger impact and grow their skills.
- Team Chemistry and Culture: A good fit with a team's culture and existing roster can be crucial. A positive environment and strong team dynamics can make a big difference in a player's experience and performance.
- Financial Incentives: While less crucial in simulations, in a real-world scenario, contract terms and financial considerations might play a role in the decision-making process.
- Personal Goals and Challenges: Sometimes, a new challenge or a fresh start can be appealing. If a new team offered an opportunity to explore new strategies or play in a different style that aligns with personal goals, it could be enticing.

Nice try, SHL GMs. Using a PT to get potential free agent defectors to out themselves? You think I am going to fall for that? I would never leave my beloved Seattle Argonauts fans and teammates anyway and it has nothing to do with the duct tape wrapped around my ankles and wrists right now.

I have played the FA market in the past and won big! I scored a 18mil contract if I recall correctly. But I also have had a hard time finding the right team who could either afford me or I would gel with. I am open to FA but cautious of it now.

I would never want to do free agency because it would be very stressful and not fun for anyone involved. Letting people down sounds really bad, so I would never want to do that. So, never free agency for me.
RE: S78 mPT #0: The Myth - juniped - 08-07-2024
I'll never be a free agent probably unless I was just cut. To be honest I have no desire to like try and play for certain teams I just like to vibe and I enjoy being a role player for a team. plus it scares me
RE: S78 mPT #0: The Myth - JuOSu - 08-07-2024
I think record seeking is probably the only reason I would ever switch teams in free agency honestly, maybe like a better role. I guess thats about it though.
RE: S78 mPT #0: The Myth - CaptainCamel - 08-07-2024
It's a bit hard for me to say since I've only ever played for Atlanta in the SHL, and their LR is so great I can't see myself ever wanting to swap teams.
RE: S78 mPT #0: The Myth - scudmuffin19 - 08-07-2024
Not gonna lie I don't think I've ever tested FA on a single one of my sim-league players. It feels weird to me, and weird to think about as I don't really see my players being high value FA chases if push came to shove there. I typically like the home I have where I'm drafted.

Ace Lightning was a potential free agent this offseason and was considering making a jump just to spice up the league, but it wasn’t the right time. Would only consider if there wasn’t a cap and I could sign for 15 million.
RE: S78 mPT #0: The Myth - Possum Queen - 08-07-2024
I actually haven't experienced free agency. I'm unlikely to see what it's like in the foreseeable future, as it would require me stepping down as Calgary's assistant GM.
