The penalty would've been the same for you, Kyle or whoever else would've taken the team over.

We have a few measures to keep the league competitive...the salary cap/floor and GP limits. If we didn't have the rules in place, bottom feeder teams would roll out $20 million team and dress 6 NHLers to race for the bottom. And then the lottery is in place so teams can't just have the first pick for being the best at being the worst.

You're not being penalized for anything other than this. It's a franchise penalty. Your pick wouldn't be this low in the standings if not for the performance of the GM that you replaced. You took over the team "as it lies".

If I did a better job of explaining this GP situation to you, would you have refused coming back? Keep in mind, I wasn't trying to manipulate you or mislead you. I was actually surprised you wanted to take over this particular team but I know you like to rebuild.

Lee wroteCOLONlol that is retarded. I get punished by being moved back. and I get punished again 3 more times. for something I had nothing to do with.

All announced after the lottery takes place.

what a fucking clown show.

Why is everything always about you?
Should the other bottom teams get punished because another team missed gp when they made the requirements?

I know you are like 12 so I will elaborate. Big word, sorry, I will explain.

It involves my pick so it is about me, you dolt.

It affects other people's picks too. Or are you still too stupid to realize that?

I'd be surprised if you had any friends to be honest, you're a little weasel with a shit personality

Considering the discussion was about my pick being punished multiple times, it was about my pick.

As far as having a shit personality, who knew that repeatedly attacking someone over the years would lead that person to have less than favourable encounters. I have 0 problems with most people in the league. I just give less of a shit about the opinions of people who I wouldn't ask for advice from, like you.

Lee wroteCOLONAnd again, the discussion was not about the other picks. The other teams moving down was an expected result of losing the lottery. My team moving down would have been an expected result of losing the lottery. My team won the lottery and should have moved up to 2nd but the pick was punished yet again and was moved to 5.

I would have no issue picking 5th if I led the team to miss gp. I took over after the season ended.

It does involve another pick.
By winning the lottery and moving up to 2nd, at least one other pick would shift down to accommodate that (correct me if I'm wrong here).
It isn't fair to that team if they sacrificed to hit gp minimums.

I understand that it is not your fault that Boston missed gp and it's not an ideal situation, but you did know that there would be complications with that pick when you took over the team.

It also states that exceptions can be made for missing. I would say this is an exception worthy case as I am not responsible for the team missing gp.

-according to Scott's most recent post, even league management was not aware of this rule.

You've been in this league for years, and there's no need to read the entire 2000 word post when you can just skip down to the section about to.

That's correct. I think this issue was brought up because your pick came up in the lottery. It's been in the CBA...that's a rule I wasn't aware of but that's not to say it doesn't exist. I should know all the rules or at least consult those who do.

I used to be a bigger stickler for GP when I was a rebuilding team and I obsessed over making sure I reached the GP limit with my own team.

I was told that the pick would be moved back 1 spot for missing gp. I wasn't told it wouldn't be eligible to win a lotto spot. I would have never taken over Boston because of this to avoid precisely this type of drama.

Here are the facts.

Kyle led his team to miss go and quit
I took over after the season had ended
I was told that the pick was being punished by moving back 1 slot
I brought up the punished on the 23
The lotto happens
My team won 2nd
Punishment occurs after the lotto and it's far more severe than I was lead to believe

If you can't make things right by giving me 2nd overall , award me a compensation pick at the end of the 1st round so we can be done with this. I ask this because I had no bearing on Boston missing gp. I should have been punished fairly by being moved back 1 spot pre lotto and told at the time that I was not eligible to win. This was all processed post lotto.
