I would have no problems with a re-draft. For me, the most enjoyable element of the league is trading and building value...it always has been. The thing i have found is the more i "like" my team or the "better" my team is, the harder it is to trade and the less fun i have. I've long said that if i won the league id swap my team for a new one...new challenge.

I dont fully understand why GMs would leave if a redraft happened. so you start again with a median roster, and you get to trade for all your favorite guys again (if that's what you want to do). Instead of having 6 teams control 80% of the value (so you always end up trading with the same people), you have more spread out assets and more GMs to try and trade with. again, sounds like fun to me. As they say, the fun is in the chase.

Grant (and anyone else), I'm curious as to why you wouldn't continue if there was a redraft? would you quite sim hockey all together? Surely you wouldn't just go join another league where you;d be effectively starting new anyway. The "if i cant have my roster i don't want to play" angle is just confusing to me. Do you enjoy playing or do you only enjoy being stacked and playing? I just don't understand it. I can respect the time investment challenge but the investment is in the experience isn't it?

And Sim performance is such a crap shoot anyway i think there is a very small correlation between relative roster strength and sim success. Id argue that top team now would have near equal likelihood of being a top after a reset.

maybe im just on an island here.
