[IBL] Hello and Thoughts on Ballot Voting

[Mike Monostra]

As someone who has been hurt by repeat 100% injuries, I still don’t think
we should change the injury rules. I 100% agree with everything Larry said,
owners receive enough benefits in regard to playing time flexibility. I
also agree with his thoughts on the suspension proposal.

The one item I was uncertain about was 2021-06. I agree with others that
something needed to be done about the playoffs all winter long. After some
deliberating, I ultimately voted in favor of the proposal even though I
shared similar concerns to David and Brent. It’s hard to predict if it will
have the intended effect of speeding up the playoffs or not, I think it
needs to be put into practice. If we have to amend it later, than we can
certainly do that
