My Random VHL Thoughts - S67 - Part 5 - Expansion Edition

[Fire Tortorella 2,653]

• So, the VHL has announced that we're expanding two teams. Very happy about this, as hopefully teams will be able to move closer to 6F 4D 1G. 
• I think this is really going to make playoff races interesting. I don't know if we've officially announced (or decided? can't be bothered to go back and check right now, but I think we did) on how the playoffs are going to be, but I wouldn't hate keeping it 3 in, 3 out per Conference. I imagine it's going to be 4 in, 2 out, but I think 3 and 3 would keep the regular season much more interesting.
• Happy for D_A and Enorama for getting the GM jobs. D_A had a successful run as Calgary's GM previously, and Enorama has been a positive, contributing member since he's joined. For people who didn't get the job and applied, don't be discouraged. I don't think I got a GM position the first two times I applied.

3 in and 3 out per conference is certainly interesting but I genuinely wonder if it keeps teams who are worthy out? We probably aren't that far from a reality where of the 8 teams that would make the playoffs in a 4 and 2 system 7 of them are probably legit contenders. Tough to say yet though, see how things shake out after expansion drafts. I don't actually know if we have decided which one of those we are sticking to though.
