Gustav Nyquist - Auction

[Bruyns]

There is also a BBKL tradition of GMs getting into fights over dumb stuff like this every off season haha.

I would have taken Dave’s bid had it been posted prior to my post closing the auction.

Semantics, it was 9:18 in Billy's time zone and 18min past his intended closing time. Doesn't matter though, Billy and one of Dave/Brian were going to be happy and the other upset. He ended up going for more than I expected anyways with the contract he has.

Not to be a pain in the ass, but it's not semantics. Had he posted the auction close at "9am Eastern Friday morning" the argument would be more about the meaning of the timing and my bid would have been arguably late. However, because he specified EST, my position is technically correct, and therefore the bid was in on time.

Do you really think he meant 10AM or 9AM for his local time zone? He obviously meant 9AM, he used a wrong acronym so seems silly to argue over that.

Oh, I think he probably meant 9am Eastern, but that's not what he posted. I keep adding the term "technically" because it is a technicality.

Dave, if you want, I'll just trade him to you for your last posted offer:

2022 4th NYR
2022 3rd CLB

That way we just settle this and there's no hard feelings. Or, we can just reverse my trade and you guys can do the trade instead.

Didn't see this coming, our two BBKL elders playing nice.

Lol damn forgot to make an early morning bid.

[Matthew]

Meh. This is what I get for trying to bring some fun into the league lol.

Bunch of crying

I like the auction. Great job, Billy!

Bruyns I think also a lot of gms have decided on direction of their teams (entirely rebuilding, or entirely competing) and after a few years they've managed to put themselves on the way to that direction. So less shuffling needs to be made unless a team comes to a point they change directions. from rebuilding to competing or vice versa.
