Sujet: 2019-20 GM Game - Messages to the BOG
I approached this issue on contract duplicates due to the BOG back on 10/11/20. Since then, there has been no punishment for teams intentionally being dishonest with contracts they signed in 2019. Specifically, teams and GMs took "bad" contracts they signed in 2019 and said they were only one year deals, publishing them as expiring contracts that were signed again this past offseason. Some of the 28 players signed in 2019 who were under contract in 2020 were mistakes and accidents, however, there are multiple players where that option seems implausible. Listed below are the notable contracts were the intention for GMs to get out of their bad signings were obvious.

<strong>Colin Wilson</strong> - Signed in 2019 by Colorado for $3,850,000 for 3 years. He was signed by Pittsburgh for $1,125,000 for 3 years this offseason.

<strong>Joel Edmondson</strong> - Signed in 2019 by St. Louis for $3,000,000 for 4 years. He was then signed by Tampa Bay for $2,500,000 for 2 years this offseason.

<strong>Wayne Simmonds</strong> - Signed in 2019 by Minnesota for $5,500,000 for 4 years. He was then signed by Vancouver for $3,500,000 for 3 years this offseason.

My proposal was that the teams who intentionally removed themselves from the above contracts should be forced to carry the buried cap hit of the original contract for the duration of the original contract, as well as forfeit a roster spot for that player for as long as the original contract. Any "repeat" offenders could be subject to draft pick forfeiture at the BOG's discretion and all other contract duplicates can be determined at an individual level. I know this is a hard issue to navigate, but for teams to simply remove themselves out of contracts they signed because they were short-sided deals negatively affects all other members of this game.

Sujet: Philadelphia Flyers signed Robert Hägg (2 Years / $1,600,000 AAV)

Hagg is a fine player on the bottom six. He isn't poor on cycles and can eat shots. Way too many fans in the Philadelphia fanbase worry too much over the bottom-pair and bottom-line defense but don't ever call out Couturier, Hayes, Sanheim, Myers, etc. when they mess up.

Sujet: Meier and Dumba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChuckyCheese</b></div><div>Jesus Christ. Literally shooting the franchise in the face just to acquire Dumba and Meier???

This is insanity lol. I'd honestly say you should be replacing Jim Jeffries on his next tour.</div></div>

I'm not sure how it's insane to move potential for young players who are established. Philadelphia has been three years away from being three years away for the last decade.

This also doesn't "shoot the franchise in the face". Moving two late first round picks - who can't help the team for another 2-3 years, three prospects who, if everything goes right, turn out to be the players for which they are trading, a defensemen who needs a new team, and a player who doesn't fir their system for a top-line talent and top-four defensemen who are still young doesn't seem out of the realm of reasonable moves. Bobby Brink, Wade Allison, Tanner Laczynski, Yegor Zamula, and Isaac Ratcliffe are still in their farm system.
