This will be my last reply to this thread! But before I go, PLEASE! GET REAL! Hahahahahaha....
"this trend can be explained by the observation that some GM's consistently improve their teams by
trading while others don't. Such trend is normal and will be in NSHL as long as trading is allowed". - Artur
Uh-hu! And like, Apples and Oranges can't be mixed, right? WHAT DO YOU THINK FRUIT SALAD IS?!?!? *smile*
The "trend" mention CANNOT be explained by apparently BETTER GM's "trading" a lot! Sometimes it certainly doesn't HURT! But it's instead a result CHRONICALLED for posterity already - which has SOMEHOW slipped your "objective" mind:
The "trend" is a result of the inherent FLAW of HLS2 and rerating... Simply - The RICH get RICHER and the POOR get POORER. That's it in a nutshell, and it's SO BLOODY OBVIOUS, I have to laugh at your suggestion to the contrary.
THIS is why procedures such as variances in protection spots / waiver drafts / bonus camps / etc. were created. NOT to balance the league between GOOD GM's and BAD GM's. (though certainly, the poorer a GM you are, the harder it's going to be to succeed at ANY endevour within The NSHL).
Good-bye, and good luck with your "objective/non-opinionated/unemotional season-end review". Uh-hu. I look forward to the humour!
