That’s also generally frowned upon and something I was pretty sure was in the rules until Quik and I looked at them a few seasons ago. It’s also in place to generally avoid teams dumping cap space to rebuilding teams in exchange for taking it back at a slightly later date. In general, like you said, not a huge deal. With @Quik on vacation I discussed it with @Will and we agreed to amend the rule to the following: 6.7 – Reacquiring a Player Previously Traded All trades involving a player being re-acquired by a team that traded them within the previous 2 seasons, including the season in which they were traded (i.e. if they were traded in S68, S68 and S69), will be subject to extra scrutiny by league administration. If the trade is found to have malicious intent that is damaging to the league (such as a temporary cap deferral arrangement), the Commissioner's Office reserves the right to veto it. So this trade will be allowed but in the future please don’t try to just get away with things that are against the rules. We’re way more likely to allow things if you just come to us with them instead of breaking the rule and then trying to argue it’s a dumb rule.

The problem is the rules are very clear. We can’t just say “we’ll the rules say this but this instance is fine so fuck the rules.” People want more things in stone instead of being subjective, that’s what you get. I’m not saying we won’t allow it I’m saying I want to look at it. As per the rules it’s an illegal trade.

Well...I tried. Not often you score a hat trick and lose haha. Still, only 6 more goals! Also a 6 point sim means I'm officially tied with @jRuutu. Told you I was coming for your ass!

@OrbitingDeath's heating up! Good win boys.

Has it though? I don't recall seeing any; though admittedly I don't pay attention to every single trade. Holding off on putting this through until we can look into things. As per the rules it's not allowed however I'm not sure if precedent has been to let that rule slide or not.

Was pretty sure once I saw your response that my answer to question 1 was wrong but completely forgot to go back and change it. Oh well haha.

I mean that's just my personal conspiracy theory to explain it. The honest answer is probably that as it tries to balance goals out a bit goals kinda get screwed. Combine that with generally forwards that know their shit more than before and you get goalies in general not really playing how they should.

You're seen Holik's playoff stats right? As annoying as it is sometimes STHS just decides "I don't like this goalie" and it gives them numbers worse than what they realistically should be.

It really hasn't. You're looking at it with a complete confirmation bias and only remembering the ones that didn't go your way when you figured they should have. It's completely ignoring the many times it has gone your way. You've got 24 wins out out 38 games; it isn't like you're losing everything. Randomness will happen. If the better team on paper won every single game we'd be complaining that the sim is too predictable. On the whole the teams who should do well do well and the teams that shouldn't don't. There's always going to be a few games that go the way that they shouldn't but that doesn't mean the sim is broken.

It’s really not. Parity is high so the difference between teams is less than it seems.

10 more goals! Not gonna lie, with that kind of shot count, @fonziGG stole this one for us.

Well there's some goals from unexpected sources! Good shit!

You have no idea how much that nostalgia did affect me. Was a tough choice.

Steroids?

Do I or does Seattle? I’ve got more PPG in the playoffs than John Locke did and he was one of the best playoff performers ever.

I'll take a dominant win (even against DC) and 3 points any day. 11 more goals! I'm coming for that points lead @jRuutu!

Oof, that first period was not kind to us.

Once I hit 408 goals I’ll switch over to assists, deal?

I mean we could also finally give Thompson his Campbell for having nearly double the goals of anyone else on his team

I’ve honestly never been able to figure out how exactly @Beaviss does it. I’m guessing donations and a pile of fantasy / lotto luck.
