Franchise mode suggestions

Things I would like to be able to see in franchise mode,   

Being able to be owner of the franchise, instead of just GM.   This would be the true definition of franchise to own not just run.    This would also allow you to play as one franchise for as long as you choose.

Being able to change settings in custom  franchise,  like being able to offer expansion to a custom league.     Also players from teams not chosen for the league become available under free agents. 

As for gameplay, a better AI Penalty engine,  penalties are way to one sided without changing all the rules.  

Better AI management in general,   as I don't know why the defense are always out near the point when they should be down in front of the net when not being controlled.  

Better response time from controlled player, shouldn't have to hit buttons multiple times before player responds,  ( extremely frustrating)  

Ability to save strategies, no having to redo every game or when lineups get changed.  

Ability to add custom players to draft or free agents

Ability to challenge offside and goals 

Equipment malfunction,   broken skate blades.   

Echl teams added to franchise roster
