It leads to GMs saying "fuck it" if we ask them to double check their draft picks, which can lead to other situations like this.

I'm honestly surprised, no one has called to take away the cup from St. Louis. (Not that we'd do that) They played the season with an additional player that they shouldn't have had. I don't want to see that situation again. And if we just say that we're not gonna punish anyone because several people fucked up at the same time, we will.

You and Nobody have both said this, but I’m more inclined to trust the opinion of the people actually in this thread voicing concerns then the people in your PMs agreeing and just staying silent. The people here are the ones with the problems, most of the people I’ve talked to have a problem with this, so we could he said she said all day, but the point is a majority of people here don’t like it.

Why don't we vote on every situation that arises in the future? I don't feel like my job is to make everyone happy, it's to make sure to keep the league running.

I think you have a grossly pessimistic view of the GMs you’re supposed to be working with if you think they’re all not just as interested as you are in a smoothly run, functioning league where stuff like this just doesn’t happen.

We've got the feeling that some GMs simply don't think that keeping track of their assets is part of their job. With this, we made it very clear that it is. If every traded pick is actually confirmed to be allocated correctly in the draft order by two people, we won't get to this situation again.

Whole response from HO just feels cold for the sake of it.

Let me explain again, how we've come to this: STL should get punished, because they played with a roster that was too strong for a whole season. But the mistake that STL management made is exactly the same as the mistake COL management made. Why would we punish one team and not the other?
If you can't remember that you got a certain pick in a trade, you shouldn't expect to just get it handed back at a later date.
