If we're going to continue with IFA, I think Sean is right - we need more guys coming over to be borderline starters. Virtually everyone coming over is, at some point or another in their career, a legit piece of a contender. It's simply not realistic. Personally I'd do away with it altogether but for a few rare times.
Also, something to keep in mind - with many, many teams starting to bump against their budgets, we may see more and more people hitting FA as well as more talent spreading out around the league as well. I just think we need to give it a season or two - the adjustments made are helping, lets see em out a bit.
On the tanking issue, teams need to be showing a purposeful use with their cash by investing in the draft, winterball, stadiums, whatever. Right now many of the teams we could accuse of tank are not using that sort of approach. Just an observation.
