As the invite list currently stands, there will be 21 free agents when the draft ends.&nbsp; To me that&#039;s unacceptable, that&#039;s like 5 entire teams of players who can&#039;t play in IDL at all.&nbsp; I really think we need to expand to 10 teams.<br /><br />I think that we should dissolve the divisions, and make 2 5-team conferences.&nbsp; This helps to ensure that weak teams don&#039;t limp into playoffs.&nbsp; We can also change the playoff cutoff, but I personally think it&#039;s okay... if anything, the current cutoff is probably too lenient, and expansion would fix that.<br /><br />Also we should put these teams in the middle of the draft order, i.e. picks 5 and 6, pushing the last 4 teams down 2 picks.<br /><br />Mike says we need to decide/confirm captains before we officially expand, and I kind of agree.<br /><br />A (potentially better) idea is to have an expansion league.&nbsp; 4 teams, each led by an IDL player.&nbsp; Nostar volunteered, so that&#039;s at least 1 big name.&nbsp; This keeps us from fucking around with IDL&#039;s structure, and also allows 12 more players (instead of 8) playing time.&nbsp; Additionally, IDL captains won&#039;t have to guess about who&#039;s good and who will show up, the expansion does that for them.
