S78 mPT #0: The Myth Due: Sunday, August 11th @ 11:59 PM PST
#1

Free agency usually isn't really that exciting in SHL. What would it take for you to seek a new team in free agency? Or if you wouldn’t ever do so, why not?

I've been through Free Agency with prior players which has been fun, but one thing I have never done is spend my entire career with 1 team, so that is my goal with my current player!

I am very happy in Texas and right now I can say I wouldnt try anytime the Free Agency. My actual plan is to play the total career for the Renegades.

I think the chances of me going to free agency are about nil. Edmonton has been excellent to me, I love the team and the leadership so far, and I really believe in what we're doing. Maybe next time.

With my first player I have spent my entire career with one team and I have learned a thing or two from that. I don't have a problem with free agency anymore. If there was a team that is among the top and there was a real chance to compete for the cup (and ideally I like the people in the LR) I'd give it a chance. The problem is that nobody wants to pay for high-TPE goalies, even in a trade.

The one time I briefly tested free agency with my first player was when I knew my career was dying down and I wanted to see if a potential cup winning team needed a cheap player. Chasing the one and only league title that eluded me was the only reason to test free agency.

Funnily enough I switched teams through free agency and one of the key factors for me in a team was longetivity, especially through GMs who have been on the rope for quite some time tend to have a more clear plan

When Chicago was at its lowest, did not have a gm, about to enter full rebuild, no idea what was gonna happen next. I was offered 20 million to leave and asked to leave by several teams and i stayed. I would like to think unless Chicago kicked me out i would not be leaving.
#9

I would not leave Texas for anything unless I was forced to or I got a GM job in the SHL and had to move. I love Texas, I think it is an amazing spot to be, and if it was up to me I would never leave in Free Agency
#10

I tried free agency with my last real player toward the end of his career and didn't massively enjoy the experience. It's nice getting pitched by a bunch of different teams but it's hard to turn down so many people and ultimately felt quite disappointing so probably isn't something I'd be looking to pursue again unless I absolutely had to

I’m really loving the team I’m with at the moment - honestly, I might just grow attached a little too quickly - besides, most of the draw of the SHL lies in the locker rooms, and the game itself, while still important, is a fairly distant second place to me. It’s exciting to have that little pocket community, and I’m really not willing to give it up ♥️
#12

While I'm not really expecting to see NHL levels of free agency here I wouldn't mind seeing bit more movement, for myself I think if my peak would line up with teams rebuild I'd likely start to look elsewhere as current regression makes peaks lot shorter than 20 or so seasons ago

obviously we would see the offers from different teams and see if anyone is willing give a BAG. But tbf I have usually stayed in the teams unless i've been traded.
#14

I guess if a team somehow could predict the future, and could see that they were going to win a challenge cup that specific season, I would go there to ensure I get a cup on my resume. Then I could go right back to my current team

It's best when the player annonce himself available to all team via a press conference, so that way everyone know they are looking for a new team.
If it happen one day with my player, it's sure that I will let everyone know so it will be easier to find a team.
