Random VHLM Thoughts

[Fire Tortorella 2,653]

• Expansion is being discussed given the large increase in recruiting we've had the past couple of seasons. The latest poll shows Halifax and Denver as the leading expansion destinations, with discussions of Oslo relocating to one of these cities. I guess Halifax is good, but my only problem with Denver (and it's a minor one) is that I think it would be a nice touch for the VHLM to be filled with locations that seem like they would be a minor league team, such as Des Moines, Baltimore, Scottsdale, Houston, etc. Just a small touch of realism.
• Part of the reason we're expanding is due to the current teams being filled. I wonder if another solution for the future would be to have a completely bot filled team that we can use for temporary space for new members. Leave the team filled with computer players every year, but open the team up if the rest of the league gets filled. Could be filled by new members and transfers from other teams of new members who went inactive. This way, those members have a place to play if they come back and it opens up spots for active members. When this team is filled with bots, it'd also be a good way for players to pad their stat totals.
