Yeah I kind of call BS on that one, I'm the one that gets fucked by itDa_Hawks wroteCOLONGlad I am not getting punished for likely missing GP - Eriksson out for the year. Sigh.
And how exactly are you getting fucked by it? You own my first round pick lol.foofnik wroteCOLONYeah I kind of call BS on that one, I'm the one that gets fucked by itDa_Hawks wroteCOLONGlad I am not getting punished for likely missing GP - Eriksson out for the year. Sigh.
If the rule is indeed he cannot make his GP situation worse in order to evade punishments since he is a new GM, he did not meet that by this trade alone:

2 NHLers for a goalie and futures. If he keeps those skaters or recoups the missing GP then he makes the GP mark, but now he misses it. His other 2 trades since he joined were neutral (Lovejoy for Sustr+ at the deadline and trading a pick for Postma and O'Gara back in January)
I don't remember offhand if he owes me a pick or if I get a sandwich pick or how that works (I'll go find the CBA and look it up) but regardless I'm the one that gets hosed here.

Yeah, this does not make sense to me either.Matthew wroteCOLONTo be fair, the fact that another gm is getting paid picks in the first place is stupid. If this thing were done right then the picks would just be dropped by the offending gm.
And if he had played those gp then his pick would likely be a worse pick.
If you haven't noticed, the CC exists to punish lottery teams for being lottery teams. That is their purpose and function.Da_Hawks wroteCOLONYeah, this does not make sense to me either.Matthew wroteCOLONTo be fair, the fact that another gm is getting paid picks in the first place is stupid.

If a team is intentionally tanking, and his roster is devoid of talent, he likely has an even harder time trying to climb back to relevance. He is punishing him or herself by trading away everyone and not rostering any actual players. If you are fining this team draft picks, you are just prolonging his rebuild. This league needs more competition, not less. Hell, most of the top teams are hording 5-6 actual NHL'ers on their farm anyways. There is seldom enough players to go around. It's tough building a top keeper team dammit! Incentives are better motivators than consequences.
Now, I was obviously not around when those rules were created, and I am sure they were put into place to stop some idiots from having 0 players on their roster. But if I am a rebuilding team, and my team suffers multiple injuries, I am not going out and trading my valuable assets for roster players just hit some damn GP threshold. That's counter-productive to a rebuild.
My assumption is that it's designed to be a standings adjustment to reflect if that team had made gp. The offending gm compensating the gm owning the pick was likely put into place to appease the gm that has the pick moved back. Just an educated guess on my part though.dave1959 wroteCOLONis there a reason the GM owning the traded pick loses the chance at getting first overall?
this rule was in place before I became a GM here.
