ive posted this before. but, my main focus is on multiplayer, i run a successful 32 player league in its 6th season. these are the 14 things that would make my life way better, and allow more successful online leagues to go:

-- Staff signing. I would LOVE to see staff signing be in the control of the player. so I dont have to sign 32 coaches every sim... in my mind it would work the same way as FA players.

-- AI Solving Injuries during sim - allow the lineups feature to work with GM controlled tactics in online leagues. I hate having to stop the sim because someone's 4th line winger got hurt.

-- KHL contract expiration - having to edit players because KHL teams can sign extensions before an NHL team is allowed to even talk to them is annoying... can we do something to make it more friendly?

-- GM trades - allow GMs to make their own trades. i shouldn't have to do it for them

-- GMs ask players for NTC/NMC Lists - i would like it if GMs could get the list of teams that NTC/NMC players will go to.

-- interactive draft - this is a pipe dream, but id love some sort of interactive draft feature. where teams could submit their picks via import/export.

-- data import - it would be great to be able to create something like stats+ for FHM...however to do that, the data needs to be readable and writable. we can export data but we cant import it.

-- Stored Lines - this shouldn't be handled via a file (at least for online leagues) this should be attached to the export... I believe OOTP allows you to export tactics and lineups.

-- Auto Import sim files - instead of me having to zip up my game file and upload it somewhere...so that the GMs can download/unzip it... id love to see what OOTP has which is an import latest file button.

-- Budget control - allow GMs to manage their budget distribution. often times we see budget strapped teams use so much of their money on staff...and its just left on the table. i would like to see owners provide a total number, and give GMs the ability to see the % of that which is used on Players & how much is used on Staff - this could be a July 1st action.

-- Goalie Starts - i would love for GMs to be able to set who starts what game in the calendar view - what this solves is that goalie start settings are...sometimes inconsistent (who is considered "the starter" by the AI etc.)

-- AHL / ECHL staff control - I would never expect a NHL GM / HC to be able to dictate the lines of an AHL/ECHL club... but they should absolutely be able to hire/fire the staff just like in OOTP.

--Staff Limits - you shouldn't be able to hire 20 coaches for a team. there should be a sane limit to coaches. - maybe this is a league / Comish control setting?

-- have something similar to the quickstart codes that OOTP has
