Yeah I always enjoy them, even though this season I have to dig deep in the rankings to mind my team.

I'm just afraid we're being rated based on reputation, rather than performance!

Hanging on to #4! Woot!

That's frickin funny!!

So let the debate begin.

I really don't have a problem with carrying extra players for a playoff run in return for picks. I know I am involved with this particular trade, but if someone else did it I would not be apposed. Damag is going to lose a draft pick in 2 seasons so it is not really a freebie for him.

I shopped these 2 guys for around 2 weeks and no one was willing to move a roster player with as little as 1 season . My team is rebuilding and as an owner it is important to try and expedite the process just like any GM would do in real life. I don't think it becomes an epidemic because people can only skate 35 the next season anyway and in order to take on these players you do have to give something up.

I enjoy WIS attempting to emulate hockey as close as possible to real life so I would hope that there is no need to regulate this because it might actually help the struggling teams rebuild faster.

I propose we allow for a max of 1 extra roster spot during the season because the roster will be forced into the 35 mold in the offseason.

I'm kinda hurt now, that I was the last guy he shopped those two players to.

Yes, I guess we broke the mold, all because I forgot to count. As I said in the league forum, we all have a veto. We seldom ever use it because we're all a fairly polite bunch, but if we ever saw an owner going crazy, well then it's up to us to decide how to deal with it. I was kind of worried that the owners would veto that deal. Now if jayden had given me four players for one draft pick, yeah that would make you lose your lunches, wouldn't it?

The 35 player limit is there for the beginning of the season. Now we know that it's not there during the rest of the season. Obviously admin built it this way, because at the start of next season you have to get to 35 again anyway. And as I see it, it's just more roster management hell you can get yourself into if you want to.

I echo jayden's sentiment about making it realistic. This has been the tradin'est MLD season I've been part of yet. The ownership is getting more adventurous, rolling the dice, seeing what we can get out of our players. I think that's good. We don't have a "Mad Milbury" owner in our league... yet. But hey, it keeps things interesting.

I agree that had I noticed the 'over the limit' nature of that trade, I would have vetoed it. But honestly I rarely examine trades very closely as I rarely make trades (only 2 so far in the entire MLD) and rarely do people propose trades to me. That flashing trade activity light is on so often that I ignore it a lot.

I really don't care about the in-season roster limit. I kinda like the idea that it's possible to compeltely F yourself if you trade for that 36th guy and forget to drop somebody before the next season. If I wanted it simple, I'd play open leagues.

I say who gives a rat's patootie and let's just roll on.

Again I'd like to stress that I only pointed out that "over the roster limit" thing about that trade as an observation...... surprised that sim was allowing it to go through.

I in no way meant to public embarass or single out Damag and Jayden, sorry for the spotlight guys!

As for future cases.... it'd probably be easier to allow these kind of trades going over 35 during the season and just having the system ENFORCE the 35 player limit at the start of the season. I say enforce boldly cuz the system will likely have no method to who it decides to cut, and randomly drop someone, possibly a sentinmental favorite of yours.

I have no idea how such trades will affect things in the future...... but I agree, it would add to the management decisions to be made to your MLD team.

Public embarrassment is my thing, man.

NO HARM DONE! I told you all already, I'M the one who F'd it up. Case Closed.

Now watch Balboa go score 50 for Gotham City.
