Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 You actually gave her a second chance? I commend you good sir! It's a slightly longer story than that.

Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Had I known this, I wouldn't have let meg (assuming that is who you're talking about) become a GM a few seasons ago, regardless if she is inactive now.Not you to blame. TFong got it in his head that Meg would work out. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/3549-vhlm-waiver-discussion/page/7/#findComment-25697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corco 1,265 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 You actually gave her a second chance? I commend you good sir! The way she became GM was kind of odd in the first place.

Admin Victor 11,021 Posted January 5, 2014 Admin Share Posted January 5, 2014 Oh when 701 drafted her first overall, stepped down and made here GM... And then she was redrafted somewhere else anyway and first overall was used on someone else by her.

Toast 887 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ah yes, forcing a player who obviously wants to compete to a team with no LR activity and no chance of making playoffs. Genius.

Da Trifecta 1,902 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ah yes, forcing a player who obviously wants to compete to a team with no LR activity and no chance of making playoffs. Genius. That's why you have to communicate with your players and see what they want to do. If they want a winning team, work something out with them to send them out and you get picks. It's that simple.

Toast 887 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 No specific player. I was just saying if I was a new player, I wouldn't want to go to a team where the only other person talking in the locker room would be your GM. Sims would also see the team being crushed most of the time. Wouldn't exactly encourage me to stick around.

Admin Victor 11,021 Posted January 5, 2014 Admin Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'd feel better being on a team and playing than being left to rot on waivers.This. And there's always the trade option. VHLM GMs should all be open to trading inactive players straight up for active ones. I know even teams like Bratislava have inactives who do nothing for them. Brampton can pick someone up and swap them with Bratislava. Easy.

Even more so, by convincing an active to come back, you can trade him for future assets if you desired.

Toast 887 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah, no way would any GM trade future picks for a player they don't get to keep past the season in most cases. I'll claim people, sure. I just didn't want to bring anyone to a team that obviously won't be up to much this season.

Waiver priority, unless it is past the time, is the only thing to lose.
