This is why I was pounding the table against the last two expansion attempts, one of which actually went through. I was incredibly relieved when the last expansion committee decided against it.
While it's true we would've had a glut of players for a few seasons if not for the Berlin/New York expansion, my argument against was that we weren't consistently bringing in enough new creates to support them long-term. So the question becomes, which is more harmful to the league, having players sit for longer than they want, or a possible league contraction? Hopefully we hit a big class here soon, but I'm nervous we're heading towards a contraction in 4 or 5 seasons if recruiting stays the way it is. Is it likely? Hopefully not, but it's something I'm moderately concerned with as of right now.
