Congrats and thanks to everyone for making it another successful season! It's hard to believe but that makes 10-seasons officially in the books, crazy! I know you guys always say if it wasn't for Gavin and I, but honestly the GMs make the league, we just keep it rolling. If GMs weren't interested and involved then other GMs would lose interest as well and it would all fall apart. So I personally thank all you guys who keep active and keep the blood pumping through the machine! As always the offseason can be a little slow. You are free to make "handshake" deals but nothing can be submitted until the new ratings come out and are installed. Also please realize that the league will not enforce any "handshake" deals that one party decided to back out of. The guy who makes the ratings informed me that it would probably be around late July/early August for the new ratings to come out. So there really won't be much going on in the next few weeks, which will give me time to do all the little updates to the website and make a crapload of trophies and banners lol As far as I can remember (Ray please correct me if I'm wrong lol) we have no new rule changes for next season. So if there is something you would like to see discussed then please feel free to bring it up! You can always fall back on the obligatory 35% increase for RFA re-signs and/or RFA compensation scale discussions That's really about it for now, thanks again to everyone for a great season! Season awards will be posted tomorrow night.....

Cool! Thanks Jon, for another great season, and all the work you put into it, for all of us to enjoy, and have fun. You're the best. Oh and as of now I can't think of any rules we need to discuss, but if I do you'll be the first to know LOL It was an exciting season, the competition is becoming awesome, really tough to get any prizes these days.

I know you've been secretly waiting for this 10th cup to be awarded so you could make those fancy logo cups on the front page be aligned evenly

Unbelievable - so great to be a part of this - not just the league but our camaraderie. Many of us have been through a heck of a lot together on and off line.
Here's to many more. (I've had a few for Canada Day and sure one of them was a salute to the JGHL!)

This was a very fun season... So many teams were highly competitive. Next year that doesn't look like it will change. Many of the top teams will take a step back, while others will continue to improve. Jon and Gavin run a fantastic league and we have an amazing group of GMs. Can't wait to get things going again.
Things seem to be running smoothly, so I only have one suggestion. Maybe we could do the draft before FA like the NHL does? For some reason I think I remember this may not be possible though due to the way the sim works.

I actually prefer the way we have it setup now for the draft and FA. The reason being that if a team can't match and/or chooses not to match an offer on a high-end RFA then the 1st round pick compensation is immediate and you don't have to wait another season for it. And from the perspective of the GM making the offer, I think it makes it a harder decision to give up your current 1st rounder rather than one a season away, especially if you currently have a high(er) pick. As far as I know it can be done either way in the sim. If the majority of people really want it changed then I suppose we can change it, but I'd prefer to leave it as is.

Screws up the RFA comp if we change it. I like it the way it is.

Well, only 2 days after the final game we have lost our first GM of the offseason. Pat(Wpg) sent me an e-mail earlier informing me he won't be continuing.
In the last few weeks a few people have e-mailed me about the league, so we shouldn't have a problem filling the vacany when the time comes.
Pat was a good GM while he was here, so thanks for your time and good luck along the way, you're welcome back anytime we have an opening!

Didn't think of the RFA comp. issue. I'd leave it then too.
Sucks we lost Winnipeg. He did well in his year here.

I don't get the mindset of the 1 and done GMs. This is a long term gig, stick it out, it doesn't require THAT much effort and its really fun to build a roster

Pat did a fine job this season, and set up the roster nicely for whoever takes over. Lots of pieces and a ton of picks this upcoming draft, so we'll need someone savvy who will make the most out of them.

I'm not saying that Pat was a bad GM, but credit for building that team should go to Billy Pecahead, you guys forgot about him, he is the one that bought Towes in etc.., he had to quit the league for personal reason's during the lock-out. Pat made 2 trades and kept the same coach Billy had .Some times new guys come in and think they can win with very little effort, not gonna happen in this league.
