Yeah. For RETRACTION, I don't think a huge amount of thought was put into it other than "hey, this will help the league". I'm sure they looked at possible outcomes, but maybe not all of them. A huge deal was made about Robbie relocating a team (which imo, was a good move) and they wanted to hold off until next season (Frank and I pushed it), but retention was made so quickly (and poor Bratislava).
I think @Frank and I are always open to suggestions. IMO, the VHLM is important and vital to the league. We can't get rid of the VHL and have 80 TPE rookies playing against 700 tpe players. Everyone (new and vet) needs somewhere to start and grow. I want to make the VHLM as good as the VHL, or close to it. We should all care about it - enjoy our time etc. I get it's not as huge, but we shouldn't blow it off and focus simply on VHL.
If you ever have suggestions (or anyone else), let us know. As for this situation, we'll touch up on it, but inactive FA signings I can promise you will stay at 1. As for active, even with the teams decreasing from 7 to 5, I'd say it'll remain the same moving forward.
