After further reflection, I'm sticking with my original player eligibility parameters for the time being. This is a league for pre-modern, non-NHL Hall of Famers. For the upcoming second season, we'll keep the same set of players that we had in Season 1, but we'll introduce a couple of new free agents, Moose Goheen and Phat Wilson -- two guys I had, at first, deemed too recent to include. Goheen and Wilson project as solid regulars and not fringe players like the other free agents, so I think I'll need turn back the clock and redo the transactions that the teams completed after the conclusion of Season 1. With Goheen and Wilson in the mix, teams like the Thistles and Comets have an opportunity to add impact players to their talent pool and not settle for marginal upgrades. Later, perhaps after the conclusion of Season 2, I'll consider adding early NHL-era players like Art Ross and Joe Hall, especially if it seems like an expansion team would be a fun twist for the league. Okay, enough second-guessing and hand-wringing!
