    BenchBuddy reacted to IneffableLeafs in Loaning Prospects   
    Correct me if this is already in the game, but I think it would be cool if GHL and SHL teams would be able to loan their unsigned prospects to the BHL, IHL, and LIHL.
     
    For example, a GHL team drafts a prospect overall 73 who is useless for the time being. European teams would still be able to sign them, but they would come in handy for BHL depth options, IHL top 6 FWD/top 4 D/starting goalie, and LIHL star player roles.
     
    It would benefit both the top teams and the lower teams because it will help the lower teams get promotion, while the higher level teams can give the prospects valuable experience. I know the European teams also give prospects experience, but both lower league teams and top teams would love this idea because:
     
    Benefits
    Lower teams (BHL and lower) will be able to get good players for little sums of salary. Top teams (SHL and higher) will have their prospects play much more games than European teams play (Europe: 30 games, Competition, 60 games) which would lead to better development of stats as well as monster seasons. Loanee Contract Clauses (Just ideas)
    Player is paid either entry level salary for the league he is entering, or a higher salary based on a decent player's salary in the respective league. The player will either optionally or immediately return to his old club if his happiness reaches uncomfortable or anxious. If the prospect is in the position to contend, he will not be able to be recalled, and could be locked to the lineup for playoff experience. The player must play a required amount of games, or the team taking the player for loan will suffer a cap penalty or forfeit a draft pick to the team loaning the prospect out. This will ensure that this method of developing prospects is fair as well as a better developing method than letting European teams sign top prospects. Other Useful Information
     
    The option to loan would be from the beginning of silly season to the last day of preseason. The player has the option of accepting the loan contract or declining it when offered.  
    Note: All bold and italicized words indicate the developer could change these to his liking.
     
    Note: Anything I bolded was to emphasize my reasoning.

    BenchBuddy got a reaction from Steve in Faceoffs skill   
    In my opinion that seems sort of broken, unless when training a specific skill, it improves 1/2-1/3 the speed of the non-specific training then I think it should stay as offense/general/defense. Another option could be to do it by player type. Ex. Training could be split into sniper/playmaker/two way/power forward/grinder/enforcer (for forwards and two way/offensive/defensive for defensemen) and sniper could specifically train shooting and skating, playmaker is passing and puck handling etc. Then to train face offs it could be two way type that trains in defense and faceoffs. Idk just an idea
