Having played in both eras, I can solidly say that if we had just one sim engine, like say Simon our Uncaring Deity, then things would most likely be worse for the overall health of the League and yet somehow parity might potentially be even better than it is currently in some crazy sense of twisted vindication. Should we have remained on Simon, then it would be entirely possible that just about every team would look the exact same with the exact same results potentially despite the individual disparities between them. As many have said before, while Franchise Hockey Manager is a good simulator it is simply not random enough, whereas Simon is incredibly random to the point of being overly so. As such this causes an issue where a League that relies on solely Simon would be able to bring itself to some sort of paradoxical balance between the teams and the universe.

We are indeed adding 2 teams to the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League this offseason. I think that we should not keep the current SMJHL playoff format of everyone making it and should instead move to take the best 12 teams and let them duke it out. I feel this way because unfortunately that is the only option thanks to the imbalances proposed by the usage of Franchise Hockey Manager and its playoff format options. FHM is not forgiving when it comes to customization which results in needing to go to 12 out of 14 teams making it with the bottom two becoming the primary lottery teams.

Welp I have yet again waited until the last day to grind out my Championship Week and the Challenge Cup finals have long since completed by this time. Congratulations to the Buffalo Stampede for their victory in the full seven games I believe it was, and my vote for series Most Valuable Player should most certainly go to Elizabeth Doyle, the Goaltender for the Buffalo Stampede, and that is most definitely not because they are the first player I could think of for this prompt. Doyle deserves this award over the others because of how mentally difficult being a Goalie is and being able to stand that for so long deserves commendation.
