League of Selected NHL Teams

I'm wondering if you'd ever consider making it possible to create a league using select NHL historical teams from a given season. Something where maybe you'd go into a given season (say 1980-81) and check off the teams you want to use in your league.

I've always wanted to run an all-Canadian league starting in 1979 and continuing to the present, expanding and contracting along the way, and I'm sure there are people who'd like to run an Original Six league from 1967 to the present or who knows what else.

In the early 2000's the EA Madden football game had all of the Super Bowl winners in the game, and also an option to create a league and choose any of the teams in the game. This was one of the most awesome features ever in a sports game, as far as I'm concerned!Obviously the new players for the draft after each season had to be fictional, since you weren't starting a league in any particular year, but having the 74 Steelers, 85 Bears, 72 Dolphins, etc, all playing in the same league was extremely cool. Imagine how great it would be to have the 79-80 Oilers, 84-85 Pens, and 46-47 Red Wings all in the same league, with Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier and Howe all starting their careers concurrently.....It couldn't get much cooler than that!
