I say that mainly because I don’t think he’s explicitly blacklisted. I just think that he’s continually being passed over for better candidates. Is his past being factored in? Probably. But I don’t think HO has to say they’ll never hire him because that’s more or less untrue. They may hire him, but it’s hard when there’s fresh faces who also have the experience and tools for the GM job and don’t have his history of being dismissed (twice).When you look at the comments today for example, you get pretty good idea what is going on and it´s in my opinion fair to say McZ is blacklisted OR at very least many share the same view on McZ - he should not expect to get hired for GM job, which is pretty much as close to being blacklisted as possible. If and when that is the case - it´s absolutely the HO´s job to let him know what is going on, there are people who still care about SHL, it´s only fair in my opinion to handle it like a professional on the leagues side and stop taking McZ for a ride around if it´s 100% sure he is not getting the GM jobs, honestly cant understand why so many don´t see that as bullying. McZ is a good dude, stop hanging on to something that happened 5-7 years ago. He's not blacklisted. He's just complete shit and continuously outshone by better candidates.

McZ is a good dude, stop hanging on to something that happened 5-7 years ago. You keep saying its 100% sure he’s not getting the job and I’m saying that’s not true. I believe he always has a chance, but it’s never good enough. Sure HO could say something, but isn’t McZ equally responsible to reach out and be like “Hey, how can I improve my app for next time?” or “Hey, what steps do I need to take to make myself a better candidate?”. I don’t like this argument that “the times in the SHL right now” mean it’s okay to take a chance on a wild card. The SHL is at one of its most active points, regardless of sim engine controversy. We’re on the brink of a reddit draft next season, which will bring an influx of new members. If anything, it’s more important now than ever to have someone in Minnesota who HO can be sure will steer the ship in the right direction. And as to the point of no one hiring McZ, if he was as qualified as you say he is, you have to think someone in the SMJHL would bring him on. It’s not that hard to form relationships with those in management in the SMJHL and work with them. This is about McZ needing to be proactive to fix his image. He can’t sit back, keep living his SHL career, doing what he wants while expecting time to fix his mistakes.

Way to go And I want to be rich, but that's not how it works. McZ has continued to prioritize his own success above his teammates. You don't get fired two times from being a GM for nothing. Honestly it's impressive considering how little you can do in this league as a GM without being fired. McZ doesn't deserve to be a GM just cause he's been on the site longer than others. His reputation hasn't changed because he hasn't changed, and until he figures out that GMing is more than just being successful at all costs, he won't be a leading candidate for any GM roles RE: Hissing in the grass - The__Y-man__100 - 01-08-2020 McZ staying persistent, I like it RE: Hissing in the grass - jRuutu - 01-08-2020 01-08-2020, 01:58 PMefiug Wrote:Hearsay01-08-2020, 01:49 PMjRuutu Wrote: And here you are, a general manager of a team throwing shots at a member who clearly just wants to run a team.

Just because the modern HO allows you GM´s do whatever starting from abusing the sim engine does not mean it was like that back in the day. Hard to change reputation when you refuse to even hear him out, hard to change reputation when you don´t even give him a chance to change it, funny to me how some want to see him prove it in some kind of management role, but you don´t even hire him in the first place.01-08-2020, 01:49 PMjRuutu Wrote: And here you are, a general manager of a team throwing shots at a member who clearly just wants to run a team.

Where he loaded himself with minutes on the top pairing and partnered himself with one of the IA roster fillers to funnel points to his player.
