I respect this reply. We had a good chat going albeit it came to an abrupt end. I appreciate the analysis you give; it makes a lot of sense. Certainly more sense than some of the HOF'ers who choose to reply with brainless gifs.

Regardless... defenseman are at a premium right now in the SHL.... if only that was advertised to noob-creates like myself....

hmmm

Generally it take a lot of influence, for lack of a better term, to cause us to inform new creates about certain roles being overly or underly populated. The only recent example of such roles would be Goalies, where we have had so many Goalies that there was physically not enough space for all of the people creating as Goalies, or even say creating as an Enforcer back in STHS (Praise Be Unto Simon, Our Uncaring Deity). In addition, even when we have stepped in and let people known about the overflow/lack of, the ramifications are quickly felt in the opposite direction. For example, while we may have an influx of unplayable SHL goalies, after notifying new creates this resulted in us seriously lacking goalies to play in the Juniors League. The foresight needed to predict when the ebbs and flows of role populations within the League anywhere from 3-5 seasons out might fluctuate to being even slightly too high/low I would wager is unreasonable to expect. Numerous factors such as people retiring early, going inactive, breaking expectations and max earning, whatever they may be, can change those roles, their values, and their populations, beyond any sort of reasonable prediction.

In short, I truly wish it was that easy, and it's honestly unfortunate to hear how negatively this has impacted you.
