I think Panfuck should be able to draft for everyone and submit the protection lists for everyone as well.

I suppose you'd rather just let all the empty teams rot so that we get to the point where it's not even worth trying to recruit new members. I guess we should all just sit back and let the league die. I care about this league too much to let that happen. I do everything I can to help keep this league as active and competitive as possible. You can criticize me all you like, but you're not going to make me feel bad about doing all that I do for this league.

You're more than welcome to help out a team so that I don't have to do it. It's not like you've never been asked to help. If more people were willing to put in a little extra work, then I wouldn't have to take so much on myself.

I'll gladly take on another team, but of course I'll be able to make trades with myself. That's the standard now isn't it?

I've had my years of putting my time into this league Eric, something you may not understand but there are other parts of ones life that are far more important than the foolishness you're turning YOUR league into.

I fully understand that not everyone can put in the time for a second team. I simply take issue that you harass me for trying to do what is best for the league by taking care of teams without GMs. I fail to see how a trade like Cicarelli for Schell does any harm at all to the league. It benefits both teams and in the grand scale of things, is rather insignificant. I fail to see how trading away old players on empty teams does harm to the league. Not only does it benefit a potential future GM by not losing a player for nothing to retirement, but it stimulates overall league trade activity. You would absolutely have a right to be upset if I was making really meaningful trades for no reason or trying to trade players from my temp teams to Calgary. I mean, I very much would have liked to trade for Schultz or Vrbata, but I didn't because I don't think it would be right to make such a significant trade with myself. I try very hard to be upfront about what I do.

Also, I wasn't aware that I was the Commish (referring to you calling this my league). Perhaps somebody should inform Jets of this development. I do very little solely on my own and I don't appreciate being singled out. I don't mean to throw Jets under the bus, but he is still the Commish. I am in frequent contact with him in these matters. For example, with Carolina, I ran my ideas about what to do with them by Jets before I even officially did anything with them. When there was zero interest in Schell and saw that NJ would have use for him, I went to Jets. I knew that a trade between two teams I was helping could appear improper. He did not take issue with it, nor did the alternate TC, goalerexpert. So why am I targeted, with profanity no less?

I agree with the bolded part. it seems extremely hard to accept from this year's league exec.

info is not clearly announce, everything is rushed and WE get blamed for missing it.

I don't have time to read every single post, I decided that I could still spend some time here and have fun. lately, it's been really hard to have fun b/c of the above "complaint"

yes, say it and bash me again, im always complaining, yadayada. just wait till you get a real job and a real gf... let alone kids like David B. he's a super hero for staying in this league with the busy life he has.

that said, im grateful that lately ive had some pms reminding me of the deadlines.

but...

it could be automatic & to everyone instead of just to me and weekly through all our GM accounts OR there could be ONE SINGLE announcement place where we could only read this when we log in.

- When I sent your PM about the protection lists, I also sent one to every other GM who had not yet submitted a list. I still think it is ridiculous to further tax the league management with something that is easy enough for GMs to follow on their own, but I gave in to you and went the extra mile.

- How exactly have things been rushed? The league took two full weeks off after the playoffs. The entire offseason process prior to training camp then took a whole month. The league had a chance to vote on when to do the draft, they chose to not take an extra week to scout. We've always taken approximately 6 months per season in this league. First sim last season to first sim this season is 28 weeks, slightly longer than half a year.

- There absolutely is a single location for GMs to check for important information. THIS forum. The offseason schedule was posted and topped here. The draft vote was posted and topped here a week before the deadline. Team Options were posted and topped here two and a half weeks before the deadline. The waiver draft vote was posted and topped here two weeks before the deadline. The waiver protection lists were posted and topped here 10 days before the deadline. Requests for help with empty teams have been posted here. Just stop by this forum and you'll always know about important information.

- Also, located in the Upcoming Sim thread we always have at least two weeks worth of sims listed with dates.

I sent my picks to HWL in case I don't make it on time tomorrow, 'specially since I'm first up.

And I've never used this google talk, so we'll see . . .
