Buds Board Keepers League

Because if GMs can just drop a contract whenever they want, they never have to be responsible with the claims that they make. They can pick up and drop at will and it makes for a very poor league IMO.
Hence, the early bird gets the worm will just own this process.

Also - the process cannot be followed in BBKL as it is in the NHL - because there is no consent from the players (clearly).

I would be opposed to any ''free'' terminations unless it is limited to x amount per year (like a compliance buyout sort of thing).

that is what I was going to suggest Hawks

have a limit of 2 or 3 contracts that can be just outright dropped

That would be a reasonable middle ground.

and one more thing to keep track of... for Scott of course

Not for lack of volunteer help.

Hey, maybe you could even contribute.

It was your idea - I say you should track it.

pretty easy to keep track of...just make a thread

we could also say the team has to have a minimum number of contracts before being allowed to drop someone...say 48

The team shouldn't have any reason to drop a contract unless they are at 50, no? If they make a trade that has them over that threshold, just indicate in the trade thread which contract is being dropped to make the transaction legal.

yeah, I mean, with my lack of contribution along the 8+ yrs I've been around here, I definitely feel the need to add something more on my desk

I guess it's easier to complain than do something.

Tracking that wouldn't be hard to do...got a system down for all this stuff. Already working on a list of improvements for next year.

I'll also point out that we all ready have off season contract drops, which is above and beyond the NHL.

that's in fact what you usually do

I was declined for the CC and regularly volunteer for anything that the league requires, from money for Fantrax to testing spreadsheets. I do my part.

Good point
