Just a thought....
Is there a way to get all those FAs sitting on the FA list playing?
I'd suggest that (if it can be done) players get doled out to our EsCHL teams on an even basis (ie 2 players per team or whatever it turns out to be) that way they can accumulate stats and perhaps draw the attention of some GMs who may in the long run want to sign them to a contract. They may even rate up some through the process.
Now some players ie: James Patrick probably wouldn't accept playing in the EsCHL but those guys can retire or continue collecting dust if we choose.
The only pitfall that I see is that there's probably no way to assign them to teams without making them part of the AsHL league files...but we can just say that GMs can't use those players, and that they have to stay in the EsCHL until they get a contract...
It might be a bit of an honor system but we could always use the same system that is in place to ensure players are only playing at the TSN approved position.
Again, just a thought but many of those guys might get signed if they started to play well and accumulate stats in the EsCHL....?

Are you suggesting that we add a third league to our empire, Gavin?
Surely, you jest. ;D

NO not a third full league... just suggesting we add the UFAs who are unsigned and just sitting on a list to the EsCHL squads we have merely collecting stats right now. Then those players can collect stats too, and as a result perhaps some of us GMs will want to sign them to contracts if we see them showing so life in the simmed EsCHL, esp if their ratings improve....however slight it might be.

Lol, I know what you mean. It could be interesting, although I am going to have to refer this to Nate and Adam who have to do all the team assignments and accounting on both the AsHL and the NsHL. The league is already labor intensive for accounting and keeping players in the right places as it is.
I love the suggestion and if it can be done easily, that is great. What I would like to see is someone volunteer to possibly handle this situation because Nate, Adam, and the rest of the BOD already have a lot on their plate. (We do not want burned out Commissioners).
We currently have two sims leagues running in tandem, although we have tossed around the idea of a junior league. However, we simply have our hands full with these two leagues.
Taking volunteers. (The line starts to the right).
Very good idea. We just need help.
Just assigning them to the ECsHL would probably not be satisfactory because the simulator runs it like a "beer league". Keeping the accounting on it for the quality of the league, would probably not be worth the time.
If it could be done like a third league, it would be worth the accounting time. The NsHL and AsHL commissioners just does not have the time running two quality leagues.

a couple of questionsI have: I really have no idea what goes into account for volunteering to do this sort of thing. It would help me to know with what would be needed and how much time would it take to accomplish.

To Volunteer:
A person would have to have knowledge of the FHL simulator and its input system. Time to input every player from the free agent list onto separate teams. From there they would need to accept line changes from the various GMs. Daily sims would occur and a person must be able to be reliable in this manner. Another website would have to be created and links put onto the main page.
As a league we would need to set up a set of guidelines and rules.
That's it from the top of my head.
