We've had this proposed or suggested before. Whether it be sign only one UFA or in the old days when we had agents ban extensions for UFA players. I think it would probably slow trading down myself in terms of pending UFA's moving, but what it might do is allow some of the bad teams to turn things around faster as they could improve their teams a fair bit in the summer.

If this rule was to go into place you might be looking to trade one of Mitchell or Anderson, but that also impacts every other team who will also have UFA players too and chances are the offers for the player will get worse as 3 or 4 teams will know you have to move the player and they're the only destinations for you.

This is a league that wants to have trading and our current rules more or less make it so that you either trade, or you wait a long time for your drafting to emerge at the CPHL level.

Every year trading seems to go down and there is discussion about how to fix it. I personally think it's a product of more stability with most CPHL teams. Many GM's have had these teams for multiple seasons now and maybe like where they're at.

But it's a good thing to get ideas out there. So good post Pat.
