It's come to my attention that the right amount of planning was not done for retention as we ran into a slight bump in the road. However, have no fear - your friendly neighborhood green guys are here.
Retraction was a good thing for the league, whether or not I liked the teams they chose to sink down into the bayou. It creates more active, stable teams and could potentially prevent the roller-coaster seasons/spans which @JardyB10 so graciously ranted about. The VHLM is a big part of the league, whether you see it or not. It shouldn't be looked as a stepping stone for us vets, but almost the lifeline to the league when it comes to new members. It's their first game, first update, first goal and first teammates they meet. The VHLM pops their cherry for everything on here.
If we have one big super team this season, it would be fun and great to watch. I love Vegas. I love what Robbie is doing there, but I do not agree that having a "free-for-all", even just for one season, is a good thing. Previous tenured commissioners and such took out two VHLM teams to prevent stuff like this.
Official ruling 2-1 + Robin Hood Effect
You are able to sign 1 INACTIVE free agent and 2 ACTIVE free agents. For this year and THIS YEAR ONLY, you are able to deal your FA rights to another team for a youth package of player(s) or pick(s) with the limitations that you can only acquire ONE other teams rights.
To finalize this, each team will be able to sign a maximum of 1 inactive and 2 actives, unless they acquire singular rights to sign an ACTIVE free agent via trade. IF this happens, they may sign an additional active free agent and will officially cap out and no longer can sign active FA's or acquire them through trade.
