Decade Of Dynamite

For all the sport nuts, the franchise managers out there, I came across an interesting article. It refers to hockey, but the concept is universal. Basically, imagine you've assumed control of a team, be it an expansion franchise, you're a Russian billionaire or tyrannical dictator, whatever.

You can have any 20 players from the league (say 10 for cricket or soccer, 40 for NFL etc), at your choice, with all salary cap restrictions waived on two conditions:

• Each of the 20 players must be given iron-clad 10-year contracts
• Your club is barred from trading and drafting for the next decade

Imagine that! You can assemble your dream team of the future, but you'd be bound to your decisions for good. As a prospective manager, never before would your actions be so transparent. You'd have to consider everything from potential down to injury proneness when planning so far ahead. Plus it fits in with the youth policies that I end up adopting in video games, regardless of the sport, so it's a concept I think is quite shrewd.

Anyone motivated enough out there to throw out their team for their chosen sport? I'd be willing to match it with a team of my own. Unleash your own "Decade of Dynamite" (as the article calls it)! Any other thoughts on this concept? Would a team dominate from having such talent at their disposal, or tank due to a lack of fresh talent through the draft and an ever-aging squad?
