[quote] This idea is too radical to ever work:
What I'd like to see is a type of promotion/relegation system that is found in soccer leagues in Europe. There would be no farm system under this, all teams would be independant. <hr></blockquote>
Too radical to work? Talk about the understatement of the year . . . MLB can't agree on a start time for night games - the only way we're not getting a strike in the offseason is if they're too stupid to remember how to run one (not out of the realm of possibilities).
That's why I love OOTP so . . the leagues I create exist in a world where nature has weeded out the Bud Seligs and Donald Fehrs of the world (painfully, hopefully) and all of baseball's participants are benevolent. It's a nice world.
Anyway, back to your idea - I think Hockey needs to implement something along this lines, as well as reducing their schedule to the style of the English Premier League - one game -v- each.
