I like that idea! Sort of like "house league" for big boys.


>I my ideal hockey league, they would be no owners other than the NHL itself. Each team would be like a division that receive a budget from the main board. They would be free of making exchanges and of recruiting new prospects, but inside their allocated budget. Each team would then be equals and the teams that know best it's hockey would have a chance of winning the Stanley Cup. But I can allways dream...
