I have the spinoff in the polls section.

We were getting a pretty good response, but ultimately the NHL wouldn't accept so many co owners.

HF Team would have to be completely overrated and classless


Plus, under our ownership, no head coach or GM would ever last for a full season.

Team would tank each of the first 5 seasons to ensure young success

I'll pitch in 60k if i can be CEO. Of course my first move will be signing myself as GM for $3,000,000 over 5 years.

I can just imagine how well boardroom meetings would go.

We would probably have 800 Assistant coaches fighting over if we should play one guy or not.

This.

Game 1... and here's the puck drop, and the opposing team wins the draw

HF: team is busted, blow it up

We would receive a ridiculous amount of fines for comments about officiating, other teams, the league, etc.

Also, the draft would take forever. We'd have to create a poll for every pick.

The Yotes are the team that's worth the least, at 130 mill.


According to the member's list there are 32678 HF members. So if everyone on HF boards got in on this they would each need to pay $3 978.20 if we wanted to buy the Yotes.

Then we would need another 60 million to move them to Quebec...

All our trade proposals would include the same two to three players and a pick or two... annoy the other GMs into submission

Board numbers are always skewed. A huge portion of those members are inactive.

The only real problem with this plan is that there's no way to fit 100,000 owners in the locker room if the team wins the Cup.

This topic is healthy (as long as you consider laughing healthy, which it is).

Also, we should charge broadcasters for interviews with players. You want access to our capitain, fine that's gonna be 5g for exclusivity.
