Blues relieved of duties

[BSBullies]

It's no secret there were some issues with our St. Louis GM, based on several things he has been let go and we look forward to hiring a new Blues GM shortly. Thanks for bearing with us guys.

[Jets GM]

BOOM! ROASTED!

[Montreal Canadiens]

What happened to the Crosby trade? I assume it was washed?

What happened to the Crosby trade? I assume it was washed?

Yes. The decision was made last night. We waited until today to inform the former GM and make a public post.

No more Backes

For the record, he seemed to know how to deal with the game. I wouldn't have negociated with a GM that doesn't know what he's doing.

[GM Office Q]

For knowing what he was doing, he sure had a lot of moves overruled.

[Virtual Jarmo]

I'll elaborate a bit so it doesn't look like this move came out of nowhere.

Obviously, the former GM's first impression was a horrible one, releasing Boyes, Tkachuk, and McDonald all in one fell swoop. I was initially planning on removing him right then and there because it was clear that he was nowhere near cut out for the league. At the request of my Committee, they wanted to work with him and see if we could correct the problems and give him another chance. As I consider both gentlemen to be close, personal friends of mine, I honored the request.

The former GM did not seem to grasp some of the provisions in the Rulebook and was very difficult to speak with according to some of our league's very well respected GMs. We felt it best to cut our losses and head off any future problems before the former GM became a serious detriment to the league. Even if there were flashes of ability to be a contributing member of this league, we felt from a risk-reward perspective that the risk of keeping him and alienating other GMs was far too great than the potential reward.

Unlike some of the other GMs who do not post a lot, the former STL GM rarely sent in lines or made any daily transactions, or answer private messages.

We felt it was in the best interest of the league and we are comfortable with our decision.

[Penguin]

I was just saying that the players he wanted to keep, were hard to get. And, he knew the game well. Just not too smart giving away the vets for free.

[CapsGM]

Yeah, that whole waiver fiasco was one of the most bizarre things I've seen in an EHM league.

[BSBullies]

What waiver fiasco? And someone said there was some sort of Crosby deal?

[Penguin]

What was wrong with the Crosby deal?

[BSBullies]

Not familiar with a Crosby deal

Haven't you been watching TSN tradecentre!?
