*** If this thread degrades into a flame war, you will be banned from the forums. Consider this the only warning.***
We've had a ton of discussions and arguments over trades so far. I've passed every trade even though I've disagreed with a few of them. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can keep looking away. The recent trade between Columbus and Pittsburgh is by far the most lopsided deal we've had made to date. I've already had 4 GMs message me and threaten to quit if something isn't done. Quite frankly, I'm not sure exactly what to do. IMO, the three most recent deals have gutted the Pens with almost no value coming back in return.
I want us to discuss this in an adult manner. No name calling or fighting. If I have to do a full league vote I will, but right now, I can't allow the Getzlaf trade to pass.

I'm sure all the other gms would love for me to have Getzlaf! there's no vote required!

Sorry Will, you're a nice guy, but the Carter, Perry and Getzlaf deals are all pretty bad. I say give all the teams involved a chance to rework the deals so that they're a little more passable.

I am one of the teams involved in one of those trades. I understand not processing this trade but you can't go back and start reversing trades that have already been processed - and I am not just saying that because it's me. I'm pretty sure my trade was more balanced than the CBJ one by far.

I would agree, Will you seem to be a nice guy but I think you are under estimating the value of the players you are trading away! If anything it should be you ripping off other GM's because these guys are in high demand.
In terms of what to do? Thats a tricky one... somewhere what ever you do someone is going to be pissed off! Either way I think Will needs to comment on the situation.
Finally... what happen to not posting on other peoples trade threads??? Did you guys not read the e-mail the Commish sent out???

Well you already passed the florida trade so that one should be accepted the other should be reworked and added to

And everyone came at me for voicing my opinion about him. Now everyone is up in arms about his trades. Hate to say I told you so. You voiced your opinion because he wouldn't trade with you, not because of his past deals. I can't help but think you would be up in arms if this was your trade being talked about being vetoed. |

The trade with St. Louis I thought was a solid haul for PIT. The Perry deal he got some good youth back but not enough overall value for what was going out, same with Carter.
The Getzlaf deal is just horrendous.

i'd like to hear what the pens gm has to say, in terms of what the reasoning is behind why you chose to accept the deal?
