Yeah, farm teams as in teams who are dedicated purely to farming NT talent are not ideal, nor are they long-term solutions. But there are a few teams where a similar thing (i.e., a focus on training Canadians) could really be worthwhile. I still think it would be an idea if we PM'ed them and got their thoughts.
I don't know if our current training is good enough. Nothing's changed except that a few really good and dedicated managers have a few really good players. 80% of our prospects are still in the hands of users who will
never in a million years come close to maximizing trainees. Most aren't even being trained.
I'll list every single U21 prospect in our database for easy viewing. I'll give their situation too (simply whether they're training or not). WARNING: it's frightening and I am not at all embellishing any of this.
