There's a time and place for everything. If we were 10 rounds, 5 rounds in, I could see the strong opposition. But stating that if one group of GMs will has to be done or risk fruther damage while the league just found out a cheat, is poor timing, let's say. At any rate, I'm sure John will resolve this quickly. oh , ok i didnt see it that way and I agree ... while I would not be overly happy about it ... it is only 3 rounds in and a redraft would not be the end of the world for me

Well I'll tell you what, Cody...I promise not to pick Jeff Skinner and Jamie Benn. Truth of the matter is, we're not at a point with the teams where such a core has been built that the ability of the GMs involved couldnt easily recuperate it like talent. [shadow=red,left,300][/shadow] You don't honestly believe that GMs are now going to select based on depriving one another do you? Aren't we here for a positive experience? The stratageies with all due respect to everyone involved, aren't as fully realized right now, where beginning a partial redraft affects the outright outcome. There is a distinct possibility that a GMs inability to navigate cap because of negligent operation could come back to haunt us. And it sets a nasty precedent. What a partial redraft does, it set things aright for a common leveled rink as it were. The opposite is to saddle two GMs coming in (one of which would like an opportunity to shape his team ) for the sake of two rounds at the beginning where an easy fix saves all. If theyre fine with the opposite, so be it... I dont think he meant it like that for example as a oilers fan I wanted Hall, eberle and rnh badly but they went sooner than I thought maybe this time around if there was a redraft I would try to seek one of the 3 sooner ... and thats not to take from the other gms but cause I want them for me see what I mean bro ? Agreed I go earlier on eberle and go tavares over hall now that I see some high salary stats will fall

Last thought for the day and on this subject. I like the participation already and see great things for this league...
I shared this thought with the Nordiques manager earlier...
I would like to re draft. But I would be a sport and take on the selections if need be.
All my banter is done in good fun... Just politicking for what I feel is in the best interest of my franchise. If i am about to dedicate the amount of hours that is required for this league I would like to have the team I selected and not the two high salaried players who I am not big fans of to begin with.
Respectfully,
kosherhamm

Hall/ eberle were my picks for the 2nd + 3rd round but got picked sooner than I thought

As one of the new GMs, I'll throw my opinion out there (don't worry, I have plenty of opinions).So right now, I have Sedin and Karlsson, and I wouldn't have chosen either. I would be happy if I could just dump them back in the pool and select two others, but I don't think a redraft is necessary. Honestly, the league isn't going to be determined by the first two rounds.the former

Yeah I am very not a fan of the redraft idea. I have joined leagues where the whole team was drafted, and those teams sucked. If we find 2 new GM's and give them the option to drop the guys they have and pick new ones that would work for me.
Have we thought about just droping those 2 teams from the league? that would leave us with 18 and the conferences would still be the same. Just a thought

If it's easier for the league, I have no problem just picking two different players than the ones that were drafted. Whenever the commish decides on what to do, I'm ready to go.
Also, I see some of you have changed the team names and was wondering if anyone would object to us being the California Seals instead of the Lightning. Thoughts?
