Expansion - sean this time

[dejota]

Like I said, I'm not forcing this down anyone's throat. What I am saying is if we're going to do this it's logical and most appropriate to do it now. So melodrama aside:

We have the perfect storm for expansion: 2 GMs on the waitlist (Peter and Kobie), a talent level that's pooling and a shade too high, all 30 resignings for the first time in league history and a foundation that most GMs feel is really solid. I'm not saying I lack faith in our GMs or whatever was insinuated above and passed off as logic, but

I am saying these conditions are more rare than a league lasting 8 seasons. The biggest knock has been an issue with one of those things listed above as well as lack of an official proposal. I'm saying if A is figured it it's time for B and we need to move on it while the conditions are ideal or we RISK finding ourselves in a situation where it's hotly contested again. All of this predicates on IF we even want to expands. We're at the point it's garnering enough support for the official proposal so I understand the concern but the assumption we're already ahead of ourselves isn't productive.
