The rulebook seems clear in this case too.

Seems like different results for different teams, and different results for different users.

I’m sympathetic to any franchise that miss an offseason deadline by a few hours with how short the offseason has become for GMs to do a ton of work… but there does seem to be a bias with some teams getting punishments and then being told ‘we are following the letters of the rulebook’ .. while other teams get rulings which circumvent what the rulebook declares as punishment. Hamilton GMs are excellent.. I wouldn’t want to see them get killed over this.. but to not even lose a 1st rounder?.. or a pick in the next calendar year?…. Smh

we gotta be more inclusive wally, what you did in the past was unacceptable only because it was Portland. Now Hamilton? they can do whatever the fuck they want and barely get punished as we've seen many time in the past. Even when the rule book is clear and cut and it was explained to all GMs previously what would happen. Clearly it can't have been done in bad intention right?

This needs to be changed, this is a complete farce. Why do we even have a HO who is paid to make the big decisions, if their final, rule based decisions can be overruled just like *that*?? Like what kind of precedent does this set for future rules that are broken?

Exactly this! The owners Mostly? All? (idk) Hamilton alums come in, swing their dicks around, save their team from some deep shit, give them a slap on the wrist, and surely go back to being IA fuckwits with their heads up their asses. Why even have HO if the owners can ruin the league? Why even have a rulebook? Let the owners arbitrarily decide every ruling and punishment based on their whims and who they favor more.

For that matter you can message a member of J HO and explain your situation if you're gonna be late for some reason
