Really, have you seen some of the ratings out there? By simply taking all of them and averaging not only are we creating unnessecary extra work, they still wouldn't be that great. Like I said we will tweak the ranges, and perhaps the formula slightly, but those are the 2 best statistical attributes, and we will continue to use them. With the unfortunate side effect of crappy teams having a few guys with slightly higher ratings than they deserve
To NYIslander: Daniel Tjarnqvist, Duvie Westcott, Ilja Bryzgalov, Pat Rissmiller, Tom Poti, Bjorn Melin, Karri Ramo, Tom Gilbert
To Boston: Chris Pronger, Doug Murray, Jocelyn Thibault, Ken Klee, Wade Brookbank, Denis Istomin, Viktor Dovgan
I'd love if we tried to fiddle to adjust scoring ratings (OF, PA) to even out the fact that players get more points on offensively-laden teams than they would on less successful teams. Just look at Vacheslav Kozlov with 4 points in the NHL the other night. He was a free rider on three of them, at least when you compare to what he would produce in Columbus or Chicago.
But the fact is that FHL leagues use the hard data as the best measure of fairness. Nothing is perfect.
The best leagues allow each g.m. a number (3 or 5) CHALLENGES, to present an argument to adjust some (3 or 5) ratings based on presented evidence (news articles, coach comments, etc).
We should do that, to allow EVERY g.m. the ability to make their case on a few players - not all - just a few, which means the biggest distortions (because every formula isn't perfect) get addressed in a fair manner.
oh we do, as anyone in the BRHL can attest to, each team will be allowed to challenge up to 3 attributes on 3 of their players. Although the statistically based one ones have to be an extreme situation be it for GP or NHL situation.

3 rating categories on each of three players? sounds good.
so, for example, we can provide evidence from published articles that "one of the fastest players on the team" should have a SP higher than 68 ?
3 out of 20 players doesn't seem like a lot but it's enough to address what a g.m. feels to be the biggest injustices.

How about it?
I agree with challenges but not with the other idea, I find it kind of retarded actually cuz it becomes wayyyyy too subjective.
After 8 days of non-trading, the Islanders have reached a deal to move a quality backup goaltender in exchange for offensive defenseman Nummelin, utility player Clymer and a late round pick.
A new team trade block, indicating available and unavailable players, will be constructed in the next day or so.
