Ugh, not a fan of this at all for PGF :(. It pretty much completely goes against how I think franchises should be built in the SMJHL, but then again I never won a cup in my time as (Co-)GM so maybe the current group will have more success with a different strategy. I don't think winning the cup is the most important task of an SMJHL GM either that everything should be sacrificed for, but I guess people just have different philosophies there.

It's not really a philosophy thing as much as it is a "were losing a lot of our core members from the past 8 seasons soon and we want to actually take action instead of just hoping things turn out well" move. In the future we will be going back to being a very consistent team, this was one special deal that we agreed was worth doing to make sure the guys we have had support our LR for the last 10 seasons get the shot they deserve. They gave us like 2 IRL years of their life, I think the team can give them a few months of ours.
