I get that it unfairly or fairly hurts teams, but the rules are pretty clear on retaining on a one year. So the next team to do it and HO approves are gonna be able to keep retention? *using my jump to conclusion mat*

I'm all for a bit more leniency, but this is what gets me. Disregarding personal feelings about both of these guys, they both should know better. They've been in management long enough to know you can't do this on a 1 season contract. It would be different if they hadn't been GMs for that long, but... I don't know. This feels like a situation where everyone involved just flat out forgot a rule existed.
