#1. I think it's a fantastic idea that any issues concerning the application of this league's rules first be brought to either Ken or Jay in a private message post. I just get this feeling that things might sort themselves out better that way.
#2. Posting anything in ALL CAPS MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A HILLBILLY TIM THOMAS WANNABE, and does absolutely nothing to improve the quality of one's argument.
#3. I guess there's no rule about keeping the "Free Agent Signings" thread to only listing, you know, free agent signings. But maybe there's other more appropriate areas for the odd fireside chat. Just putting it out there.
#4. I really do appreciate the candor and honesty that Keith and George bring to this league. If I'm lucky, one or both of them will wrap these words in a quote, and say something tenderhearted that will leave me feeling warm and fuzzy all over.

Hayes was called up prior to the start of the season in a post sent to the whole league
i thought after the bottom 5 teams waiver wire pickups were determined by standings? If so then Nielsen should be on my team not Georges as he was ahead of me in the standings when he got him as we both had a claim in.
8) Waiver Wire Procedure: a) The “Waiver Period” shall be from Opening night thru to the trade deadline of any given season. b) A free agent available for waivers shall be described as any player who has played 25 or more games for skaters or 20 games for goaltenders in the NHL, is signed in the N.H.L. and is not on any GM’s roster during the “Waiver Period”. c) Not unlike the real N.H.L., we shall process waiver claims which would see the team with the lowest point total have first priority. However, if two teams are tied in the standings and they both have a waiver claim for the same player the tie breaker will be 1) lower amount of goals 2) lower games played 3) lower amount of shots 4) coin flip. d) No matter how many players on a farm team a GM MUST drop a player to the waiver list to sign a free agent. e) All players dropped will be available for the next week’s waivers. f) Waiver claims shall be processed on Wednesdays at 7am. A GM may put in an offer sheet for up to 3 players but only 1 player may be claimed per week. (e.g. Team X <9th> puts in an offer for 1 Daigle,2 Turgeon,3 Lindros; Team Y <6th> wants 1Daigle, 2 Lindros, 3 Turgeon; Team Z <5th> wants 1 Daigle, 2 Grier, 3 Lindros; Team W <1st> wants 1 Grier, 2 Lindros, 3 Daigle. Here is how it plays out. The lowest team <X> would receive Daigle. 2nd lowest <Y> gets Lindros. 3rd lowest <Z> gets Grier. Team <W> would not receive anybody for his offered players are all chosen. Turgeon would not be picked. g) There will be a priority list for the bottom 5 Franchises by points. The original order will start with the first Wednesdays standings. Any time one of those teams makes a Free Agent pick up they move to the back of the 5 team priority list. If at any time one of the bottom 5 get enough points to move into 6th last, their position will be held in case they move back into the bottom 5. If that GM picks up a free agent (while 6th last or higher) that saved position will be forfeited.
It is obvious based on my position in the standings and my posted position on the waiver wire that these rules are no longer being followed.
At the time Nielsen was taken i was in 5th and George was in 4th

Well it seems that we have a lot of confusion in the rules and how they are being applied. It is not acceptable that people are trying to follow the rules but when they have not been updated or enforced then it becomes a problem. People having free agents on their team that do not belong there causes a sequence of events that can not be unravelled properly as roster moves are made and point totals affected. It is obvious then that we need a clear update on all rules especially the free agent pick up rules. Even I do not understand the picking order anymore. The Neilson thing should have been brought up 3 weeks when it happened, now it cannot be fixed accurately as who knows what moves would have resulted instead and who else has free agents that have been incorrectly awarded. I don't think this is anyone's fault but lets get the rules updated so no more confusion is out there. So to make the Franchise all warm and fuzzy on the inside (gross as that may seem) I will not be as adamant about the rules until we have a clear understanding of what is and what isn't being followed or should or shouldn't be followed, as the sequence of events that has transpired now have screwed up a lot of things.
