SWEET TEAM 16 SFHL BLOG
1. Playoffs are here!! The SFHL is starting their first ever H2H Playoffs with the top 8 (after Saturday Night results) facing off for cash & a pick while the bottom 8 playing for a lottery ball & pick. Commish JV just announced that there will also be Consol 8 (teams that lose first round) will complete for UFA Pick which starts in Round 2…. it’s a starting point
DET vs BRK
MTL vs LA
EDM vs VAN
SEA vs STL
WPG vs BUF
PIT vs TOR
CGY vs CHI
PHI vs HFD
2. I like this move H2H Format as the NHL Roto Season is long (and ISNT THE NFL) and you need to keep your GM’s & Fans engage. But is this too late will fans show up?? I think league office will need to look at starting this earlier say February as most teams (say 5 maybe 6 still playing hard) are out of the Top 3 by Christmas time
3. The Race for The Debrusk Cup has the Wings on top and not looking back they have amass a great team and point total. Habs and Oilers both sit 2nd & 3rd respectfully.
4. How bad are the Leafs this season yikes, as this is written they sit dead last WOW. Buffalo has been holding that title for the last few months (swat has done a decent job- after all he pretty much got the expansion team).
5. Slow trade deadline why it happen, could be that the top teams made their moves back a month ago and the race for the top 3 was race of 5. Rack & Co. had first place wrapped up a while ago as well so that could’ve played into slow deadline. Lets see with a new Playoff Format if teams look for a key player to help them in the playoffs next season & beyond
6. Do we see 16 Franchises in 17-18? I have heard that we should see 16 teams when puck drops for the 10th year in the fall, but the big thing is where is this league going for the next decade? How do you keep those on the edge in engage & having fun being arm chair GM’s
7. Keepers @ 12 should this help balance out the league? One would think this should help the pool depth in the UFA Draft, which I know Commish JV has been working hard to get more value in the UFA. This will also make more decision making at the GM level, who to keep and trade value for those that must go. Teams will need to start realizing that they cant keep everyone and sometimes players will walk for nothing.
8. Speaking of that…there was some backroom talk about limiting off-season moves for top teams (I guess the thought was the teams at the top of the league shouldn’t regain those picks that they traded to acquire for the push).
9. Would they look at doing this for all the teams in the league not those that our in the top of the league standings? I think they will look at what happens this off-season, as “those bottom” teams can acquire these 13,14,15 players via trade. Will have to come down to the value in the trade market
10. Trade Value, OUCH this is been on and off again talk along most GM’s that the market value for some type of players is just crazy high…this could’ve played into a slow trade deadline. Will see what the landscape is this off-season (September) if teams/gms make a better commitment towards this.
11. Some have said this could be that the league has made some major changes the last few years in terms of category value in the goaltender area, having only to dress one goalie per night. Fantasy Value vs PT Value.
12. Fantrax, I know the commish loves it and most GM’s do as well as it helps in the admin area with cap hits and roster moves who’s available. There is more features that will start to creep in with roster limitations/violations that teams will have to make sure they follow all rules in terms of cap, rosters, injuires etc.
13. I think you’ll also see (I know more changes) new stat/cats but more looked at today but being in the league in couple years. Franchise Tag, maybe see multi-stat stat/cat, the look at how to create more stat scouting stats and players that can benefit in this as well at the trade deadline (for the playoffs)
14. Still hearing rumors that the SFHL Fall Draft will be on Location, more info is suppose to come out later this month with dates, locations and all the fun involved in that.
15. The next 10 years, I think like the NHL there will be suggestions/ideas that might sound CRAZY 8’s status but finding a good neutral group that keeps this league in the hearts and minds of all those that matter. One has teams limited in player protection for 5yrs and then they walk (unless traded), setting up new single stats for certain players and so on
