BTW on the new rules...
The goalie not being able to handle the puck in the conrners is GREAT!, so is eliminating the 2-line pass.
Hate the shootout idea, but man, they are fun to watch.

I think Gavin has a great point. I am all for the on ice rule changes, but if those are to be changed, we should also implent the new CBA. Which would mean we'd have to wait until 2006-2007 to do so.

Implementing the rule changes does NOT have to be in conjunction with an updated CBA agreement.
First of all, our current CBA and economic climate was based around pre 2005 salaries. No one has proved to me (because it is in fact impossible to prove to me) that the current economic numbers do not work. The numbers are too perfect, actually. We had a $1 million surplus in the league last season which indicates that the salaries and income are virtually perfect. In other words, demand and supply are operating in harmony.
When GMs look at the financial reports and see teams suffering it is not because players are being paid too much it is because the current or past GM has been fiscally irresponsible.
The solution to your CBA issues, Gavin and Jack:
Be smart GMs. There it is for you: The only necessary piece of information to make the current CBA work in your own minds. Because factually and fiscally, it is working perfectly.
We will revisit the current CBA in 2010 when it expires (2003-2010).

Is there any opposition to the current rule changes? ? More scoring? More power play chances? Are we in agreement to do it THIS season? Any opposition can be made below. Once pre-season is over, the BOD will make a decision. THank you. No sense in talking about the CBA. It doesn't expire until 2010. We will review it at this time...and no, there won't be any LOCKOUT!!!!! Nathan Kopsack NsHL Commissioner

I understand the current CBA and the system and am not necesarily in favor of implementing a new CBA, in fact I believe firmly that salary caps are the ruin of sports. There certainly flaws in the current financial system but they are what they are and we've all learned how to deal with them. That is not the issue, the issue is, as I clearly stated, the value of the players will change and we've all just signed a bunch of FAs and built our teams on playing styles of the original system and rules. Player values will change if the rules are implemented. It is an inevitability. Just not one I think we should face this season after putting our teams together already.

Does it raise the value of Anson Carter that there will be more scoring in the NsHL this season?
I believe the rule changes will effect each team equally across the board. Obviously teams that have stocked more skilled players are going to have more scoring, however, who could argue if the rules stayed the same that they would be scoring less, to scale.
The new rules effect every GM equally. We have to start at some point.
