IMO, with your design decision the game's already broken. I don't want to be misunderstood. This isn't a feature I'm asking for, but a fix for a current mistake. One of the most exciting hockey events ever was when Vegas went to the finals in their first year. And your product makes it next to impossible to duplicate with any new expansion team. In FHM, Vegas would have missed out on drafting Cody Glass and Nick Suzuki, and all the various trades they made to stockpile picks and assets in 2017 to put them in to position to obtain stars like Max Pacioretty. If I put a new expansion team in my league now, I could do none of this.

Vegas had three 1st round picks in 2017. Very knowledgeable people made their first draft a priority in a real world setting. You should have made it a priority as well. Currently, an expansion team has to play the entire first year with zero valuable, known assets. So, to me, FHM doesn't currently sim how the most popular and competitive league in the world works in this area. And you were aware. And I understand you've done nothing to resolve in 3 years. Expansion's huge right now, and you have no inclination to fix it and get it right? I don't get it. I don't understand. You should never added expansion to FHM if you didn't have the ability to get it right, or at least not get it wrong to such a degree that the work to resolve would be (apparently) insurmountable. I know this may sound like an attack, and I need to chill out. I am sorry about that, I feel bad to speak so harshly. I'm just so upset and disappointed to have put in money supporting this design team that can't seem to get the NHL entry draft correct on their fifth attempt.
