Nor is it really ours. We did not plan for retention and were brought in after the notion was already in place. Was more of a "Oh, okay" type of thing from Frank and I.
All I'm going to say now is that I've sent a PM off to Higgins and Frank regarding the situation with a couple of suggestions.
Now, it should not surprise you that @Higgins has read and not responded, lol.
I don't feel as though I should lay down a decision on my own without discussion with these 2. @Higgins was adamant that he got the final say in relocation and that it wasn't gonna happen this year. Frank and I made that happen for @BobertZ. So, should be apart of this too then tbh.
So everyone is aware, I am leaning towards everyone being able to sign 2 players. I believe in competition and that's the main reason we seen the retention of two teams. the VHLM is a huge part to the league - whether veteran members think so or not. Usually we just breeze through it and it's wrong. We should embrace every stage of our careers. Both sides of the frozen pond are important and serve a purpose to the VHL community. Now, I love Las Vegas. They got a hell of a team going, but I do not agree that they should be able to sign 4 more Free Agents because they're the new "Miama Heat" of the VHLM and people just want to be there to win (or be apart of it).
I have an additional suggestion:
For this season, open it up to 2 and 1. You're able to sign 2 actives/1 inactive. HOWEVER, if one team doesn't wanna sign an active, they can toss their Free Agent "right" for the season to the other team in a trade. Be warned, I find out you tamper and tell the player to get the rights traded or they won't play there, you will be dismissed of your GM duties.
@Frank Once I hear anything from the other 2, a ruling would be made but this is likely where I stand.
