Welcome to Naismith for all the teams that are experiencing their first season in Naismith, which, I may be wrong but looks like is 3 of the 4 teams this season. With the start of the new season, it's another season of optimism that'll invariably end with dashed dreams (or at least for the lucky team that will get the injury bug late in the season).

Just out of curiosity, what are peoples' plans and goals for this season? I'm taking another shot at getting an invite to BBB, but not as hopeful this season. I've invested in a better doctor, but we all know that may be in vain. But enough of the doom and gloom, I am actually pretty excited about my team especially with the addition of Goss (thanks stajan).

I was intrigued about having Goss as well, but the game engine in blank line-up didn't share the same exuberance. Arsenault and Hackett played significantly more than him with equal GS, and one of my seriously ordinary ~90 TSP back-up bigs played very comparable minutes, Most bizarre sub pattern I've seen in BB with him. The skill set is extremely rare for the potential game breaking ability he may have as a non-elite player. He's kind of an expensive tool more than a reliable fixture, but that's fun. For better or worse, he's free to be unleashed with the elimination of blank.

My plan is to train. But I'm a huge hypocrite it appears. I've always advocated for users in uncompetitive situations to train Canadians, yet there's real possibility I'll unbookmark BB if a trainee doesn't fall on my lap in the coming days.

Are you looking for an 18/19 year old trainee, or any age will do? Are there no good trainees in the market after the draft?

From how I understood it, the issue with blank lineup had been that it looked (maybe even solely) at offense. Certainly with blank lineups gone, he'll be more usable.

Looking to make the playoffs, maybe, I guess. I could pack it in halfway if things go poorly.

I am going back to an all Canadian roster. Training will continue to be my major focus this season so lots of games with players badly out of position :)

The Cup will be a challenge but I am hoping to make a decent run just to increase revenues.

Good luck all.

Love the all Canadian idea, I used to play that way. Do you find the merchanise revenue is much higher? I noticed I was consistently 20,000 above average in div 2.

I am currently 30k above the league average. It also helps that I have two Canadian NT players. I would love to add an elite level guard but not sure that it's in the cards this season.

I'm happy I finally made it Naismith. Its great to be in a league with an active forum. I probably won't be able to accomplish alot this season, but I'm hoping to stay.
