My preliminary thoughts on all:
1. Expand DL to as many spots as possible. No real good reason not to, especially since we have a salary cap.
2. Again, no real good reason not to make these players available. I think it is detrimental to the competitiveness of the league. One thing mentioned was that it disallowed people to hoard these players for loyalty purposes, but it was also mentioned that this was for league startup purposes, and is relatively irrelevant now.
3. I don't think that a trade deadline is a huge deal. We didn't really see too much action in the last month of the season, did we? If anything, it gives people something to talk about right up until the end. I know I had a couple trade talks in September that I wouldn't have had in any other league.
4. For the sole reason that benches in this league are very shallow, I'm all for this: After August 17, if a player is announced by a reputable source to be out at least two weeks, I think they should be allowed to be "released" on ESPN, but the team remains in ownership of them. They can just be added to their DL on the roster on this forum . The reason I proposed August 17th, is because that is the last day where real-life teams can place a player on the DL and get them back before real-life rosters expand. Sometimes, a player will be injured in late August, and real-life teams will not place those players on real-life DL, since they know rosters expand in a few days, even though they are out for two weeks or more.
