Also I think what would be a very fun feature is to have pro teams sign contracts with affiliate teams. (So in the NHL you'd negotiate with the AHL, ECHL, CHL, UHL clubs to reach an agreement). Of course, some pro teams own their own affiliates so there'd be no negotiating there...
One last thing is i hope owners will play a role in this game. I'd love to be a GM of a team only to have owner "problems" so you have to cut budget. Or having the owner tell you to sign a big player even if you don't advise it (ilya kovalchuk to NJ screams the owners idea, not the GM) The best owners are the ones that just sit back and let the GM do his work, but as we all know that doesn't always happen...
Okay, i'm done with the random feature posts (for the time being

)
