  1. Your goalie doesn't even have a Stolzschweiger.
  2. You have just said in that other thread that I refuse to see your side but it appears to me to be the complete opposite. Let's take the "facts" of the Cologne situation. - Devise presumably wanted to step down with no internal solution. - Greg presumably was the only external option at the time. Or perhaps the easiest one to get to Cologne. This would have been an important consideration. - Sundberg was on Davos at that time but was he a free agent? Or freshly retired? Or was he going to retire to GM but was also a pending FA in which case the BOG skipped the step of letting him go to free agency and then signing for Cologne for free and just letting him join Cologne asap since they were in a dire state. In that case, I would understand why he would move for free. - I feel like he wasn't meant to move for free though this bit I am completely unsure of. Perhaps compensation was agreed but not enforced by the commishes or anyone else, which seems to have been alluded to. In that case it is not a failure of the GM succession process but a failure higher up. I don't think I've considered everything and yet I have already had to make 3-4 assumptions. You have dealt in absolutes so far and I have brought up for every case the mitigating factors which affected the decisions made. I pretty much said that Toronto was a fuck-up, yet you have insisted on focusing on a Cologne case which I can't make a reasonable argument for or against because of the above. Most importantly, I would like to stress that I have not been saying what I think about each case (most of the time) but rather how the BOG came to the decision it did. Except the Cologne case, because I do not know, but you have pretty much forced me to consider how it was done. Just because I am the current BOG mouthpiece for some reason doesn't mean these are my opinions. I'm just trying to explain why you can't look at the raw data and assume you have all the key facts.
  3. Is Seattle doing that thing again where they have average players and win the cup?
  4. Couldn't have done it without retired legend Harumpf.
  5. Blake Campbell: from cup winner to QUE G's backup.
  6. I don't think you've grasped the formula It's (shittiness of franchise + charisma of incoming GM - TPE of resigning GM divided by 2 + amount of potential draft places to be dropped in 5 seasons based on an outdated draft tracker) * BOG intangibles. Rounded up or down to the nearest draft round depending on the weekly weather forecast. I have no idea how you got a late 2nd from that.
  7. @gregreg and @Molholt like this but of course they do
  8. should fire late GMs and make the GM replacement process as awkward and unfair as possible
  9. Pepsi >
  10. The best Hamilton.
  11. the real question is would you be willing to give up a 1st overall pick to GM?
  12. Woot all the TPE. @Smarch im coming for you.
  13. these are causes I can get behind
  14. But it's not black and white. All these situations can be dealt with differently and still correctly. I'm not saying they were, as I don't know about Cologne and Toronto was definitely the product of Seattle but I don't think there was a better solution for Seattle which wouldn't have been an overpayment.
  15. @Draper you're reading this, give us a quick draw. Or Jardy.
  16. It is indeed, only 3 players created since the 28th have put a recruiter. I guess we can include Claudio as well but he forced the older Gow upon us so maybe not.
  17. I mean, don't see how TPE levels affect that tbh.
  18. I can't comment on the reasoning behind the Cologne transition if I wasn't involved, can I? It looks wrong but I want to give the benefit of the doubt to those that made it. And for the 115th time, Komarov was not an overpayment. If anything, that should be the standard going forward but that can't be guaranteed because the chances of every GM falling at or about their right draft position for their team aren't great.
  19. I have more than your scrub but the Jew has overtaken me.
  20. Hmm @Kendrick @eaglesfan036 How shall we split this.
  21. Davos gets the next 5 first overall picks and McJustice gets 1000 extra TPE. Doubt that would be enough to appease you though.
  22. Legend.
  23. Can't open PMs on my phone so I'm acknowledging you here.
  24. Its all about physical intimidation actually.
  25. That's a bannin'
