I may or may not be joining back up with the league, but the discussion recently here made me curious if anything had changed.

Notes:
1) Currency increased by about 150 pts. First off, i as a little inconsistent last time i did it as it was over the course of a week. Secondly, I added points for draft picks that are likely lottery picks and gave out some extra points for prospects that fell off the top 75 list from last time. There was also more CPHL ELCers that are playing the NHL and they are worth more. Finally, I was a little more liberal with the fringe players with upside.
2) Minnesota is still the class of the league, but Calgary has really pulled out of the basement. Ottawa is the in basement now.
3) Overall the league Currency increased by 5.46 pts/team. Nashville increased the most (20), while Colorado decreased the most (-5).
4) The top 5 teams make up 29.1% of the currency (33.3% last time). The bottom half of the league makes up 36.8% of the currency (34.6% last time).

Difference from last time
Discussion :
1) Are the rules in place from last year having an effect ? I do know that Minny is going to run into a big crunch this offseason with all the ir young guys on ELCs that are in the NHL. Curious to see what the market value is there.
2) I am personally against a dispersal draft, but I do think that some assets flowing from the top to the bottom (especially to teams with new GMs) would be helpful. A solution may be for Teams near the top to buy pending UFAs (at a premium) from the teams at the bottom. It would allow for those teams to take a run at a championship and then lose the asset back into the pool in the offseason. It may be the most fair way. Either that or a maybe a first round pick dispersion to lower asset teams.
3) It is obvious that GMs can move up the chart if they really want to. It is going to be impossible for more than a few of those to do it at the same time however.
Thoughts ?
