As for the points. I am not going to make too many changes if it is a point here or there.

On the Hossa situation:
It's like Jay Feaster when he wasn't willing to keep cap so he didn't get the best return. I think if you would've offered some cap for next year who knows you might've. But it was your choice and stuck with it.
Just teasing you about the points, not going to make a difference.
I would suggest something like a "parity draft" where the top teams get to protect 80% of their assets and rest go in a draft for the bottom tier teams but seeing how some teams have been mishandled before I doubt it'll help them.
I wouldn't mind seeing elimination of ECHL all together. AHL increases to 35 ( no restrictions on positions).
