Player shortlist / notifications

What about having a function allowing you to shortlist players and receive notifications about their activities?

Exmple scenario; Blowhawks have a WR I'm vaguely interested in. I see week 1 he gets an injury keeping him out for 3 weeks. I get notified of that.

Week 4 Blowhawks receive a trade offer for him. I get notified - I can now choose to make an offer myself.

That trade fails - yay. I get notified, can see the offer and have a better idea what Blowhawks may want for him.

End of season he gets released - I get notified he's a free agent so want to offer him a contract ASAP.

Free agents could be tracked in a similar manner - when a contract is offered you get notified.

I feel this could allow you to track player targets better than at present, allowing more info and thus more informed decision making. There should be a limit to the number of players you can shortlist at any one time; equally you should only get to track them for a maximum number of seasons. Maybe even noteworthy performances could generate notifications.

I'm aware this could increase the processing and load on the system.

Great idea and even better the blowhawks is a great team name!

I'd like this because sometimes i see a gm getting great results from a lower rated player, and i like to see if it's system based or they're onto something with ratings.
