Hey, Kattiautomaatti is looking for a LD/RD. Right now we have 2 defensemen in our roster and we need 3 defensemen in our roster as soon as possible. We are planning to share D playing time in EASHL and ECL evenly between 3 defencemen. Player handness does not matter, playing performance is first priority. But being able to play both LD and RD is a big plus. Nationality does not matter. All players in the team are from Finland, we speak finnish and english. We can offer a team with long history, most of our team's players have played together since NHL09/10. We think we did not play at our own level last season and we are now making changes in our team to get us back in elite playoffs. If you are intrested contact us via PSN: Slaivone, jnmxx or Isumppi90I sorry i had to copy paste this to right place @Slaivone

Goes a bit off-topic but would be cool to have some kind of all-stars event in NHLGamer. Or maybe just FIN-SWE all-stars or something like that?

Exceptional team status. Exceptional. Wondering how this will work. Now after this tournament you have 16 teams for elite division and 16 for pro division yet you have unknown coming in with exceptional team status. You have set elite and pro division to have 16 teams each, teams has fought hard for these spots for over 40 games. Are you going to drop one of these teams for unknown? I reckon similar things are bound to happen alot. Whole exceptional team status is kind of controversy. Where you are going to draw a line? Who gets accepted and who doesnt?

I kind of agree with Jesus here. In a perfect world, the division system would benefit everyone. However, as it is, it will cater to the elite/top teams and completely disregard the needs of the mid- to low-tier teams. What do they want/need? I agree with everything Jesus has said about the skill gap becoming wider and wider because people don't want to join the teams that aren't in the top division. The division system will create its own ecosystem of top players and teams and isolate the rest of the players and teams out. I completely understand why the top teams and players want that, but what will it do for the community? We need fresh blood and players with motivation. I'm all for playing more meaningful games, but for the rest of the community "meaningful games" might be playing against and challenging the top teams. I don't think the issue is as big as it has been made out to be, but it's something to consider. I personally think the shorter seasons with more groups but all the teams has been the best concept thus far. EDIT: Just to reiterate, on a personal basis I love the fact that I get to play against only the best teams, but I think we should look at the bigger picture - how the division system affects the community as a whole.

I see a very one-sided debate here btw, with only top level teams expressing their feelings. Fact of the matter is. Your not the problem. You will play no matter what! 2/3 of the community are okay teams. We have to find the best solution for that group. If not, expect the future tournaments in this game series to be played on some obscure russian forum with 10 participants. Is that what you want? No, that is not what we want.

Lol About the divisions. Two divisions, not three. More divisions than two will kill this community and destroy the possibility of new teams forming. Not the way to go!

A few bumps in the beginning of '17 gave us no other choice than to watch ECL as a spectator this time. But Bombers is coming back, stronger and more handsome than ever!
