Confirmed

 

[Velociraptor]

Won't be partaking this year unless it is in a very limited co-management role. Unfortunately will not have the required time to commit this summer to run my own team or take on precisely half of the duties.

 

[seventieslord]

I'm in. Regina Capitals.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Give me a team please. I'll come up with a team name later today.

 

[tony d]

Hoping we get more interest here than 4 GM's.

Tuesday I'll start pming out reminders

 

[tony d]

Any interest in this?

 

[seventieslord]

Any interest in this?

Yes.

 

[Elvis P]

If we can start after the 21st, it would be better for me, because I'll be off line. If there are trades, tony is in charge. I would like to see at least 8 teams before we start. I'm sure VI & Hedberg are both in.

 

[VanIslander]

I'll manage the Providence Friars, this year's NCAA champions after four trips to the Frozen Four finals tourney dating back to 1964.

Calgary's 2012 NHL 1st round pick Mark Jankowski helped them win it all this spring. There are seven (7) NHL draft picks on their present roster.

Famous Providence alumni include NHL bosses Brian Burke, Ron Wilson, Lou Lamoriello and John Ferguson, Jr.

 

[tony d]

That's 5, hopefully we'll get in the double digits, when are we looking to start this?

Once we have enough I suppose, I failed my mod duties will send out a registration pm this afternoon

 

[Hedberg]

I've been away, but I'm back now and will be joining. Looking forward to it.

 

[tony d]

Getting there, that's 6, hoping to get a few more yet though.

Any updates as to the MLD?

Pms are out there, we'll see if that garners more interest

 

[seventieslord]

yuck, we can't do this with just 6 guys. I mean, we still can and will, but that kinda sucks.

I'm always looking for new player hierarchies, and though I would rather see a 20-team MLD to start scratching into the usual AAA crowd for MLD players, the opposite is going to happen and only the very best of the usual MLD players will be here. Which scoring liners will take bottom six roles and which will be stuck scoring in the AAA? Kinda intriguing.

 

[tony d]

I'd like to get 8 teams for sure but eventually we'll have to go with what we got no matter how small it is.

 

[seventieslord]

where are all the people who usually do these things?

 

[Johnny Engine]

Well here's one. I'll do it.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Let's at least get to 8

 

[Iceman]

I said it in a PM that I theoretically don't mind joining but the effort won't really be there to build a contender so don't laugh at my team when it's said and done!

 

[ResilientBeast]

So that's 8 teams. I suggest we start sometime next week around start of free agency? If anyone else decides to join before then we can adjust accordingly.
