Of all your players, who has been your favorite?

Do you think FA would be more active if users were not allowed to roll over bank accounts to their recreated players?

Should GMs be allowed to know if another GM changes their lines?

Are you trying to burn down the SHL with this chaos??

With SFP winning back to back cups, for last 7 seasons we have had only 3 teams that have won, if I'm not mistaken this hasn't happened since S27-S33 and all NEW, LAP and SFP have teams that could compete for cup in the S81. Add to that Winnipeg making it to finals 5 times in 6 seasons.

Do you think that parity is actually in good place or is it just an illusion?

At the time of me writing this we are at 458 Activity checks and have whole day to potentially pass the 465 for new record. We had good recruitment drive that was already at the time of the draft same size as past 5 classes have been after all of the people who join through the waivers, and we are only 18 creates away of portal era record (S74 had total of 108 player). So number of players isn't at least going down, and more roster space likely would be needed in future. Two option I see for that are expansion or adding 4th lines. Though I also think that unit sliders and tactics should be allowed in general but specially if the fourth lines were added, at least for 3rd (and 4th lines) and special teams.

Pros for expansion:
- Expansion draft and new teams are more exiting than fourth lines
- Adds more needed spots for forwards and goalies
- No player's playing ten or less minutes a game, which should be more fun for the users.
- You could add two or four teams depending on number of spots you want to create.
- Adding teams would make it bit more meaningful to make it into the playoffs
- Current system to determine top draft picks should work better with more teams as teams are eliminated before last sim
- Future expansions are easier to do without 4th lines

Pros of 4th lines:
- If cap isn't increased at all or only slightly it would force top teams to spread out the best players and lead to better parity.
- Not adding spots for defencemen which there often doesn't seem to be sulprus of
- Reduced ice time could get scoring of top forwards down, which in my opinion has been too high
- Does not require any more GMs (while expansions likely would have competent GMs, I'd think in long run the league might struggle more to find competitive head GMs for few more teams and we already have enough teams that haven't won in a while).
- Portal has helped more casual users to stay active, 4th line would add natural spot for some of those low TPE players.
- Makes good case for allowing line tactics to create shutout lines, which hopefully would help with supporting build variety.

Likely there are more pros to both (I didn't list cons as they mostly get covered by other options pros).

Do you think I missed something very important about either option? What would you do to create more roster space for SHL?

Which SHL or SMJHL mascot do you think is best to freebase crack with?

*RashfordU* · 02-09-2025, 06:21 PM

What are some expansion locations you would like to see if the SHL does pursue expansion
what is 1 rule you would want to see during expansion?

What is the ultimate snack?

The kraken did a snack bracket last season and chocolate chip cookies won the bracket.

WHY DOES LUKE SOUND LIKE HE WAS YELLING GREASE THE POLLS ALL DAT SUNDAY?

For Rich: can we hang out when I drive out to mall of America this year? I don't remember when you live but I'm sure that's close to you. I have a pack of radio shack batteries I have to return and I want a little DC motor for my 3d printer to help with filament lag.

For Luke: there is a place in NJ that sells deep fried hot dogs. I don't think I will like it, but would like to try it anyway. Would you like to join me and get some blistered weiners together?

***sliceruser*** · 02-13-2025, 07:37 PM

Late bump to let you know we will not be broadcasting this weekend after all. I'm sick, so we'll try again next weekend!

**Rich** · 02-20-2025, 05:51 PM

Holy macaroni. We've got some stuff to talk about.

I'm feeling pretty good, so we should be good to go for Sunday.

Let us know if there is something you would like us to talk about!
