Don't worry, the effort to pull the intro in was worth it!

 

"8:53 AM in the trade section" - Da Trifecta in shambles trying to figure out what that is in his timezone!

 

I wonder if, had GMs having players were mandatory and were consistently towards the top end of earning, that a case could be made for making a 1st the minimum offer a GM had to make to acquire their player through trade? I also still think there could have been a change that could have been made to the draft your GM player with a 1st rule instead of just binning it that could have made that fair value as well.

 

Good stuff Jardy!

Good stuff Jardy!

I think policing GM player trade value would be a bit tedious. Rather, I’m generally fine with GMs doing their thing, as long as they’re not deliberately trying to ruin a team for the lulz. Wins and losses of deals are subjective, and I don’t necessarily agree with restricting them all that much.

 

But I can only imagine the outrage if a trade like this happened and Johnston had like 3+ seasons remaining! Or even just 2 for that matter.

Just to add a bit of little known context, my previous contract was up last offseason. I signed a 1+1 contract with Hedge so that they could at least get something for my player instead of just going to FA in the S84 offseason.

 

This offseason, I actually pitched a situation wherein I declined my option and signed a 1 season contract with an NTC (so I could have a say where I went) with Riga for the purposes of being flipped at the TDL to recover assets.
