Suggestion: Change elite div system. We will have this problem that there arent top 16 teams. Because #15-16 drop to pro thats just wrong. They should have also relegation battle agaisnt finalist teams. Just make sure we have really top 16 teams what our community can offer . Winning pro doenst mean that you will be elite team for sure. Thats just a way to make elite even more competive than its now. Atleast I like idea that elite is really best as possible. Pro winner agaisnt #16 and runner up vs #15. Pro final could be more meaning that is now. Is this fair to pro teams idk but atleast more tighter games in elite for sure. So what you guys think ?

Hi all! I’m 32 year’s old Finnish RW/RD looking for a active Finnish Lite or Pro Team for NHL18 6/6 games and next ECL 5. I’think my best weapon in forward is ugly/cheap/lucky goals and NHL17 was my first full EASHL season. ECL 4 Lite was my first tournament (Teletapit) (21GP 17+26=43) Starter/Back-Up-Role doesn´t matter & i’m available for tryouts. PSN: TTERO

Yes, this would be a huge problem if there are new teams that should be playing in Pro and are ready to compete for promotion to Elite and they would be placed in Lite. These teams would play in Lite playoffs against Lite teams that are ready to play in Pro but not in Elite yet. It would require to have Elite-ready team in Lite to get promotion to Pro. And Pro-ready Lite teams would be stuck in Lite. There are so many teams in Pro and Lite divisions, maybe there should be more promotion/relegation series between Lite/Pro after Lite playoffs? If the top teams of Lite are at higher level than bottom of Pro as it has been said here. Then it would be fair to give them the series and let them prove they belong to Pro. For example if we would say top 8 teams of Lite are better than bottom 8 teams of Pro. And there would be only 4 promotions/relegations Lite/Pro. Lite #5-8 would be back in Lite because they did not win Pro-ready Lite team in playoffs but they got no chance to prove they are better than bottom 8 of Pro. What if Lite #1-2 playoff finalists got promotion to Pro. And last team of both groups of Pro #31-32 relegation to Lite. Rest of Lite quaterfinalist teams #3-8 should have relegation/promotion series against Pro teams #25-30?

There are spots open in Pro that needs to be filled. To fill these spots some teams need to skip a division. So there is no point discussing is it fair that a team will skip a division, some teams must do this. Does a Lite team deserve that open spot after they have failed to get a promotion to Pro by playing in Lite? In this case they would be skipping a division too. Because they didn't deserve it by playing. I don't think that Lite team would deserve the open Pro spot any more than a new team. That's why every team should be able to make an application for open Pro spots. If you want to make it easier for teams in Lite to get in Pro division by playing, simply increace the amount of relegations in Pro and promotions in Lite in ECL seasons. Lite teams must prove they can get to Pro by playing. Just like Pro and Elite teams/players have been doing over the years. If Elite/Pro players form a new team, they would deserve to try get that open spot in Pro by application, those players have proven them over the years, it's not a shortcut.

Here is a draft of how the new "NHLGamers Cup" (FA-cup format) could look. The teams have been arranged according to last seasons ranking, from 1 to 78. This Cup could, for example, be played either during the current ECL season or between two ECLs. In this format, Lite teams can challenge some of the "bigger" teams in competition games. Just like in FA cup, teams from top division get "easier" opponents at first instead of immediately facing another Elite team in the first round. The games could be played like BO3 maybe? This means teams can also try some different rosters from regular ECL.

29-0* not complaining tho, i got 26 points in those games

But dumping all these teams to lite, would be much harder for lite teams to get promoted after. If these teams or atleast some of these teams get spot on pro, it would also mean better chances for lite teams to get promoted next season. Teams will break every season and new teams will be created. If all new teams will always go to lite then those "almost got promoted" lite teams are stuck in the limbo... forever...
