THAT'S ALOT OF MISSED PICKS
5 teams with two or three missed picks, 6 teams with ONE missed picks.
That means 19 (NINETEEN) GMs were up to date and on top of things. MORE THAN HALF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are tanking because 20% missed a couple of picks and another 20% are a little slow?
19 committed GMs are disappointed because while the cup wasn't full it still had a lot in it!
Geez.
That is pretty good. Yeah, 30 would be great, but 20 GMs on top of things? just AUTOPICK the other ten teams with best picks available.we have 20 commited
A contraction draft is too tricky at this point in the draft. In order to do one, everyone would have to cut a certain amount of players off their teams as well. If we are cutting 20 teams out there are about 400 players to be selected at this point. How are those 400 players going to fit on 10 rosters (when they are practically filled) Everyone will have to dump 3/4 of their teams in order to get it done.
Honestly if you plan on going this way, you might as well just start from scratch, define the rules and pick the GMs you really want to have involved in this

Or let some of us 20 committed GMs manage two teams (with no trading of players between teams oneself manages), thereby picking up the slack.
And active recruitment to fill some abandoned teams is a natural thing to do.
This league is dead only if the commish has too high of standards or just really has lost interest. I'm not sure if damor is unrealistic or rationalizing in his anger over this situation. Maybe he's just inexperienced with the ways of such leagues? I don't think I've ever seen a 30-team committed league without replacements and tweakings along the way.
Managing, like parenting, takes a lot of time and work, like a duck paddling like mad under the surface. It also takes tolerance.
We have 20 good GMs.
damor's idea of AHL-autoing the other 10 is not bad, though quality NHL autoing would allow later added GMs.
Whichever way, damor's efforts are appreciated.
I'd gladly manage a second team.....i will highly consider ur plan in this case, where we will fire bunch of gm's and give their rights as 2nd teams to several gms on here til we find replacements.....
If we went the route of contraction I don't believe it would be that difficult to manage given that Gms have limitations on who they can pick due to this is a cap league
Basically, if a team were to add a player through the contraction draft that team would have to not only give up a player from their current roster, but any move made during the contraction draft would have to keep that team cap compliant.
So as an example using Philly and the nucks, ( I picked two teams from the "fired" list") say the nucks were one of the contracted teams and Philly had an interest it picking up Kopitar...
Say Philly had 5 mil in open cap space, given Kopitar's salary Philly would make a selection such as;
Philly selects Kopitar (salary 6.8 mil), releases Matt Cullen (salary 3.5 mi).
The next player on the list not only gets to chose from the contracted players, but Matt Cullen has now been added to that list as well.
Any player left on the available list becomes a UFA after the draft.
this is my idea as well. i second this.
We can not get people to make their picks in this draft so we add another 200 picks to make? Does not make any sense
