First, I'd like to thank <a href='index.php?showuser=2236' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>Wally</a> and <a href='index.php?showuser=2436' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-13'>galatix</a> for their assistance in this matter.

It is obviously a very serious issue that required a very severe response from the head office.

In examining the evidence (link below), it becomes clear that two things are true:

1. Portland accidentally copied the wrong numbers or went with the wrong numbers when dealing with the contracts of their rookies.

2. Instead of admitting error and rolling with it, <a href='index.php?showuser=2236' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-3'>Wally</a> intentionally circumvented the salary cap as a means to correcting their mistake, hoping to not be caught.

https://imgur.com/a/tqkFN

In discussing this with Wally, he admits both to be true.

As such, our decision is rather straight-forward. The following punishments are kept as is:

All rookies affected will have their contracts adjusted to the proper amounts
Szlerchek signing void
LAP gets $500k cap space from POR
Both GMs players suspended for a full season

The following punishments are altered:

Wally and Tweedledunn both removed from GM/Co-GM positions and restricted from pursuing either position for 3 seasons

Cap docked $5M for 2 seasons (starting after the upcoming season)

Portland loses their next two owned first round picks.



In removing one season of cap punishment and one season of lost draft picks, <a href='index.php?showuser=12' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-4'>Leafs4ever</a> and I hope that Portland is not handicapped too harshly in the future, but can understand the need to punish the team to some degree as a result of the actions of their GMs. If the punishment were solely personal, there is less incentive to follow the rules that are in place. By punishing the team in a way that is severe, but not crippling, it is our hope that other GMs will heed this warning and understand that the salary cap is there for a reason and is to not be intentionally circumvented.

Hopefully we can all move forward from this quickly.

Thank you.

Honestly, no joke, this seems like a fair final result.

I agree. It's still a bit rough but it's definitely surmountable imo. Good job HO

Looks good to me. I'm glad to see HO recognized the need to reduce the severity of the damage done to the franchise itself and kept the focus on the users who caused the error.

I would call BS if the appeal was bad. Ask any GM before the punishment was announced, I was furious and wanted something very harsh.

Pretty sure both GM's fired and only one 1st being returned is severe. If they gave back all the picks I would've been critical for sure.
