<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrBooth</b></div><div>I understand your frustration Kayla, tell me about it. It should be a rule without saying that <strong>once you’ve agreed to a trade, you can’t pull out/discuss another deal using involved assets. </strong>

Jonathan, I’m not sure what caused you to move Sami Niku to Tampa Bay. Whether it was forgetting about your Minnesota deal or simply “liking” your Tampa deal more, you and I have already talked about why it’s not a good move to do as such.

However, I think it’s safe to say Bolts had no bad intentions whatsoever. He didn’t even know Niku was reserved in another deal; that’s the Florida GM’s fault for not alerting Bolts of that, not Bolts’ fault. He shouldn’t be required to “be nice” as a result of another GM screwing up; while it would be a friendly gesture to the other GM getting screwed over, he is under zero obligation to do so. Leave him alone, give GMs a reminder to stop pulling out of deals whenever you can, and hopefully try to tweak the FLA/MIN deal now that it doesn’t involve Niku.

I’ve severed ties with GMs in the past. This doesn’t warrant that.

Much love, your friend,

Small correction.

Once you've agreed to do a trade NOW, you shouldn't be able to back out, by rule.

If one or more parties are either unwilling or unable to make the trade immediately, it cannot be classified as an official trade and cannot be bound by rule.
Normally, you are keeping a trade off the books to get around the trade limit. I don't see why we would consider a rule to protect people using a loophole to get around a rule.

Sure. You can try to set up deals in advance. You can also choose not to deal with GMs who don't follow through with those tentative arrangements.
What you can also do, is follow the trade limit and make 4 deals per month, finalizing and making them official as you go.

If you don't like a deal enough to do it now, or are trying to save a trade in case a better deal comes along, that's basically the same thing as agreeing to hold onto certain assets but changing your mind because something better comes along.
If you're simply out of trades. You had your chances to improve your team this month, now you have to wait until the other GMs have had a chance to do the same.

One GM with 4 trades a month, should not be able to tie up 20 assets for the next 4 or 5 months. That's not fair to other GMs or good for the health of the game.

I feel that the 4 trades a month rule means 4 official agreements a month. I don't know if that was what happened here but when i say "official" agreements, i mean agreements that cannot be taken back by one GM without the other agreeing. If teams can't trade away players that they have in a deal for the next month, why have the 4 trades a month rule? I agree, i don't think GMs should say "yeah, we'll do the deal at the start of the next month" and then trade the player to another team, but if they do that then it should be up to the GMs involved to figure out, not anyone else IMO. And now i'll stay out of it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TonyStrecher</b></div><div>No team is taking all of those horrible contracts without serious compensation.

Stecher is ten times the player Gudbranson is. He's the 3rd best d-man on the Canucks right now after Tanev and Edler. His next contract will likely be in the $3-4m range

Demko isn't going to get paid anywhere near that much. His contract is up at the end of this season and he will likely spend most of it in Utica or at best as a backup. If he has an amazing season and wins the Calder Trophy, maybe he gets $4m on a bridge deal.

Madden, Woo and DiPietro are also all unlikely to be on the team by 2020-21.

The Canucks are going to get some assets for Chris Tanev, not lose him for nothing in FA.

You're penalty kill units are awful.

Why on earth would the Canucks extend Laplante, he's an ECHL level player.</div></div>

Honestly, I'm not sure 10 times the player Gudbranson is is a good thing. 10 times negative 1 is negative 10.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that I am stepping down from Commissioner to become a 5th BOG member. I have realized that my position is bascially that of a glorified BOG member. I have also realized how much I miss being a GM and hope that in the future I can be one again. So, we will now be running with 5 BOG members. I have also realized that it's only fair if I can be voted out of a position of power if people choose to do so (although I hope not). Thanks for understanding. As for my name, <a href="/users/Banks" target="_blank">@Banks</a> <a href="/users/Jarvis" target="_blank">@Jarvis</a>, is there any chance you guys could restore my name to Bo53Horvat or something similar? Thanks guys.
