Farewell

[anton]

years of work building a periph-based team?

[Mike]

He hasn't proposed switching assets.

[Shep]

Switching assets is lame IMO. After building what he has, I don't know why he'd want to be handed a better team.

[Robin Hood]

He hasn't proposed switching assets.

I think that's what Tony means. He wants to leave NYI and its assets behind and take over the SJS franchise and Neel's assets. The New GM will take NYI and its assets.

He wanted to switch names but that is not possible. He is a sharks fan. I'd give up every asset I've got and take over ANY type of team to get the Leafs name/logo as a fan.

Nope..

What why? What's the difference?

[Mike]

What you think Tony is asking for is not correct. He wants to keep his assets.

[Robin Hood]

What you think Tony is asking for is not correct. He wants to keep his assets.

Let's omit that for a moment. My question is this: If Tony wants to leave NYI and its assets and take over SJS and its assets, is that going to be a problem?

[MSP4LYFE]

^ Yes, that is a problem.

[Robin Hood]

^ Yes, that is a problem.

why?

[Chris]

What sucks is that I have to wait another two weeks or more to get the assets I've been working to acquire from Neel.

[MSP4LYFE]

^ Yes, that is a problem.

why?

1) Sets a bad precedence

2) Puts a weaker team in the West (current New York Islanders), and stronger team in the East (current San Jose Sharks)

You're not listening. It's a GM swap. Not a team swap. Tony will take over SJS and Thornton, Backstrom, Chara and allthe assets Neel owns IN THE WEST. With the new GM taking over NYI with Fisher Ward etc that are part of NYI right now.

And GM swaps are not bad Precedents at all. If you want to to take over Arian's team in the west and give Arian all your WSH assets, no one should care.

[Mike]

...but Tony doesn't want to do that.

We do not allow GMs to switch assets (aka a GM switch)-> very silly precedence; switching in general is shitty, however in the case where a favourite team comes up we have in past allowed the title switch (keeping all of own assets). We are currently discussing the topic in the CC+admins, however... we've turned down lots of other moves - just to be clear.


Title - sure get to have your team in your favourite team's colours.
Assets - just not the purpose of building you own team long-term.

[Robin Hood]

...but Tony doesn't want to do that.

I'm telling you right now, if it comes down to it, he will leave NYI and its assets behind just to have the Sharks logo. Which is why I'm asking, if he agrees to that is it cool?

[Tony]

What Shiv has said is correct - I want the Sharks logo/team name. I don't care about assets ... If I have to give up picks or whatever to do so as a penalty, so be it. I'll take Neel's current team ...

If you think a brand new GM coming is a better option to take over the current SJ team after I've been here a year and half, fine ...

I see nothing wrong with Switch Teams Altogether. If I was a Flames fan, i would give Frank the Penguins and All my assets just to take over that shithole of a team.

Same answer, no. It doesn't matter if it is a name swap, asset swap or what have you, the answer is no. The precedent for these moves was set in the summer.
