Perry Morgan - 1099 TPE D, good 2nd pair D.

Whereas these rookies are going to need 2-3 more seasons of development before they can play in the SHL. This isn't STHS any more, where you can have a 400 TPE guy on a line that barely plays.

where did it get them?

those guys getting any better? isn't one just a regressing asset that won't get any better? Maybe one of them work out or something like that but overall, these guys wont likely be assisting a team's title window. This isn't just a FHM issue it's been going on for years but teams also have far too much fear of what could happen rather than sticking to their status quo.

Hey GM who signed those IFA's here. I drafted replacements for 3/4 of those players in this draft and one already has a replacement in my pipeline. That being said, I still need to ice a team this season. My team had a playoff spot up until the last game of the season as the NW was decided in the last games. 


Will these  IFA's win me a championship? No but they will make the team better while I wait for my prospects to gain TPE and replace them. I don't think my current players would like if we went from possibly making the playoffs to back to the bottom of the standings that we were at only a few seasons ago just because I have to pay some IFA's now to not attempt a 0-50 season. My team hasn't made the playoffs since S46, the season I was drafted. We have been slowly growing and adding more actives but sadly sometimes life happens and people dip from the league. Maybe some might come back, most likely not, but until the new prospects are ready to take over I need bodies on the ice and preferably not ones that will be an active detriment. I also can't magic a title window into existence by not signing IFA's either.

All of this aside, the reason we didn't draft certain players was not cap space. We are one of the few teams that doesn't have as big of an issue in that department. But as a team gets more competitive it's a lot tighter of a squeeze on their cap.
