Oh i didn't realize that. But still, the 8th place already has 2 scrimmages generated. I can't imagine it would take up too much server usage to put an extra game in there, although I admit that I have no knowledge about server stuff at all

The new relegation system definitely is a step in the right direction, although I'm worried about the amount of money it brings to the economy. But for example, it should not be too hard to implement a bronze game that could replace the automatically generated scrimmage for the two eliminated semifinal teams. Such a game would definitely be exciting.

Well a way around that would simply be to continue to use regular season rankings for draft order. Instead, these games, as I initially suggested, should influence season ticket holders for the next season

I see a big flaw in the idea:
* 8th seeded teams get the opportunity to tank the entire season, buying players just before playoffs/relegation to stay in the league but still select FIRST in the draft.

There should be a great upside playing in the playoffs, rather then missing it, so every team WANTS to make the playoff, making the game more competitive. Making the 5th team now play for relegation was a step towards that.
Just sayin´

On the other hand, I´ve made the finals a few years in a row now... I feel the offseason is too short ! ;-)

I surely didn't think of this. Of course, you could work around this by implementing a separate trade deadline for players that should be used in relegation games. For example, every player acquired after the all-star break would not be usable for relegation games.
But then again, this might overcomplicate things...

I see your point. In my way, it would be favorable to intentionally get the 8th instead of 7th seed where you'd get a better draft pick and maybe a better shot at surviving. Another solution could be to make a 3 game series between 5th and 8th seed and between 6th and 7th seed. In order to keep the '5 teams relegating' concept, you could have one game between the two worst placed teams that wins these series, and this game should decide the fifth team that is relegated. Might be a bit too complicated though.
