Totally understand that but some trades are so ridiculous they literally shock everyone in the league.&nbsp; You can honestly say SUC is a stellar team but they&#039;ve had outside help to secure their team each year.&nbsp; A captain who united their team and got little to nothing in return for it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve always felt teams being the same season after season is a bad thing even if it was a losing team.&nbsp; The whole point of the IDL is a draft league with varying competitive but hopefully equal teams each season.&nbsp; Quite a few of the best IDL teams have been built upon other captains making huge mistakes, not caring/whatever or in one case the league favoring a team in player selection(VGR).<br /><br />You can say that is how the league is because captains have a huge role in it but they should be a positive force.&nbsp; Also the IDL needs a serious recruitment campaign ASAP.&nbsp; Realistically the league might not have enough to support even 8 teams next season.&nbsp; If the EU players don&#039;t play or more players don&#039;t sign up it&#039;d be hard to field 8 teams.&nbsp; Even this season it was a stretch as people dropped out or had to quit for various reasons there were basically no backup players or the ones available were not competitive at all.&nbsp; You can blame me for some of that if you want as I dropped out but I&#039;m not going to support a team which makes horrible decisions against any common sense(SPE).
