That's right - free agency is just around the corner. We've received all the data/rankings from NAIHL and will be creating our free agency spreadsheet over the next few weeks. As per last year, we exclude all entry level contracts and contracts that are minimum salaries.
Few preliminary observations:
The BFHL awards were handed out tonight, and the following players hoisted their new hardware proudly.
Conn Smythe (Playoff MVP): Roberta Luongo (AVI) just edged out Ryan Kesler, despite not winning the Stanley Cup. With an amazing 0.919 SV% and a 2.44GAA, Luongo backstopped Aviators all the way to game 7 of the finals.

Congratulations to the team Supastas for being 2010/11 champs! Pictured at left, we caught up with Patrick Elias relaxing with the cup. What a great season number two with various twists and turns, ups and downs throughout the season! ;)
The season for the Storm was one of disappointment. Expectation were high as the team was expected to contend for the BFHL championship again having won it all the previous year. However, the team's play was inconsistent and they barely made the playoffs. As we move into the offseason, what do the Storm intend to do? They have a few key FAs: Jeff Carter, Tomas Fleischmann, David Jones, Jamie Langenbrunner and Brett Clark. Priority will likely be given to Carter, a key player for the team in the first 2 years.
Every memorable team has their signature song; multiple teams using Enter Sandman, Thunderstruck and other classics like Chelsea Dagger. Following the 2011 playoffs, Bombers GM have officially signed a contract with Kaiser Chiefs to use their song "I Predict a Riot" as their official theme song.

Hey BFHLers
While we are all gearing up and thinking about next year, here is some tidbit of information that's been released by the hockey simulator creator. I trust it will help in gauging the type of players to look for next year!
Thanks Worg, for the 2012 first and fifth round pick. Hope Gudbranson turns out well for you.
