Is the pick tracker supposed to be reliable or not? For Colorado, it can't be the one, true resource to keep track of their picks, and its their fault for relying on it, but for HO, relying on it is expected and the fact that it wasn't accurate is entirely on the pick tracker and not HO? To me this sounds like the role of pick tracker is incredibly undefined here. No one is disputing either of the 3 faults you brought up, but its asinine to say HO isn't a 4th branch also at fault here. Blaming everybody but yourselves seems lazy

If we needed to double check ourselves, we wouldn't need the pick tracker. We don't ask GM's to double check everything, just their own picks. We do our best to make sure the pick tracker is doing his job and yeah, maybe HO at that time didn't do enough. But you can't ask of us to go over every single trade before a draft. On the other hand, a lot of GMs agree that we can expect of them to keep track of their own draft picks.

HO of the past DID go over every trade and make sure it was legal and worked, so its not that you can’t do it, it’s just that its incredibly difficult, and I’m not denying that whatsoever. Keeping track of the picks moving in this league is such a pain in the ass and you’ve got my full understanding there. But it doesn’t take a lot of empathy to understand that without a resource this job became difficult for Colorado as well, especially with changing management.

I guess what i’m trying to say is the punishment feels needlessly cold and heartless, and it feels like HO doesn’t care about the league’s opinion at large. No one would be upset if Colorado was compensated the pick, but A LOT of people are upset that they weren’t. What’s the point in doubling down on a stance where the alternative has 0 repercussions?
