RECALL: The Nashville Predators recall F Nicolas Deslauriers from Kansas City and place him on the active roster.
He will be dispatched on a Byron Bitz role for now and placed on our top line. (just doing this for the memes c2x, he can just be placed on our NHL roster. I'll have a full roster update once Hunt clears and Norris is recalled)
@Rush17 Tell your boy Clifford to keep his head on a swivel! We ain't giving back 4th place!

How do you expect me to do this without tearing it down first?
Its easier to make the right moves to improve your team when your a clear contender, and judging from the archives idk if you've had a bottom feeding team to work with before
I've had. Look at my organization's archives. It takes time and patience. Others have done it much better than me but it's taking me more than 5 years to finally be a buyer. Other teams are rebuilding atm but dont sacrifice their NHL roster.

Look, another free goalie!
*Ooof* Why you gotta bring that up bruh?
Haha sorry didn't realize that it was your team who was a part of the trade. It happens though... I traded Garland away for an IRL 4th rounder lmao

these are examples of what ive been trying to do. These moves however are not moves to help ice an NHL roster immedietly.
I also agree with your point about doing your own DD on the FA list. My point was simply I do not have the time nor patients to spend 10+ hours to find a couple fringe NHL players that might help me finish 26th instead of 27th. If the was a list like in NHL21 I would most defiently have a more NHL looking team right now. Every single move ive made I can justify the though of wieghing between the now vs the future, thats all imma say
There is also a couple GMs in this league that know that ive been worried about having an NHL looking roster during my rebuild. I seen teams like the ones your trying to punish, and when my team fell as far as they did I made a bunch of moves. Those move may look bad to some of you from a competing standpoint for this year but even if moves weren't made, I wasn't finishing much if at all better than my current position.
Couple things to note...
I was not at all inclined to trade Vanecek (my 2nd highest point producer). However it was what was needed to be added to land Askarov and Turcotte.
I made a strong pitch for Pastrnak that would have immensely helped immedietly. I wasn't really given a chance in those talks as the GM made the deal prior to getting my proposal
I wiegh every move I make with the eyes on the future. If yall wanted a GM to keep a mediocre team "Stale" and mediocre for years you hired the wrong guy. I want to win, and if a losing season or 2 is required to build a consitant winner then so be it in my eyes.
Just really sucks because I read the CBA, I based decisions of my recent moves on seeing those consitant tank teams rosters, and thought...
"I tried icing an NHL team, they stunk it up, im sure I can tear it down now for half a season, maximize value on current vets that dont fit near future plans, and try and compete next year"
Not like I have much chances to fall any lower in standings with the 3 teams below me anyway. Theres a way to punish those that consitantly do this without screwing us honest, new GMs trying to put their own footprint on their newely acquired team.
Idk man, im not looking to argue or anything, but it is very frustrating to have this rule just slapped down without any warning whatsoever, and have it take effect in the draft that we have been preparing months for under different rules
My point was doing the homework. Imagine the homework/time it took to invest into players who had yet to prove themselves vs actual NHL players who are already established NHLers. If the method you have is too tiring then you need to innovate to be better efficient.
Those teams you referred to didn't write the CBA. You shouldn't base your understanding of the CBA based off of what they or others do. You indirectly break the CBA by following others, you indirectly hurt yourself when change is implemented. As the CBA you read, there will be some type of negative feedback that will occur if nothing gets changed, then this shouldn't come off as a surprise. In fact it could be a lot worse.

Im sorry but I dont have the time to filter through every single GML team and NHL team to find these available fringe guys that wont help nothing but the appearance. If there was a list of available guys then maybe.. But if there are as many GML teams as NHL teams, and guys have 5+ NHL guys on their AHL club, then the numbers just dont add up to make it possible for EVERYONE to have a complete NHL roster.
I mean I didnt see Gabe Vilardi was available, you really believe im going to notice fringe NHL guys that are available when 31 other GMs didnt see it either? lol
I mean if someone wants to PM me a list of available UFAs id gladly get to icing a more competent NHL roster, but im not mortgaging my bright future ive spent all season working on for stop gaps
My name is Crabby, not Jim Benning
I signed Joonas Donskoi, Ondrej Kase and Neal Pionk and many others into this league
An older TB GM signed Colton Parayko into the league
Mike V traded for Arvidsson before Arvidsson even played an NHL game
Romi drafted Batherson outside of the 1st round
I hate tooting my own horn so I had to bring other examples with me. The point is all these transactions occurred in the shadows during times where these players were looked at as players with no obvious NHL career/path. They put in the homework and got rewarded.
It's not the leagues job to hand you these types of players or any player for that matter on a silver plate. The UFA list is consolidation courtesy to be frank as that info is already provided on every teams sheets. It shouldn't be viewed at as the only option.
This isn't Be a GM mode in NHL21 where the options that you have are posted in a list that the game provided you to review. In this league you're your own amateur scout, you're your own professional players scout, you're your own agent for your club etc. It's as real as it gets to real life here in the GML.

Although this revision will for sure create some unfortunate circumstances for a select few of GMs, I don't see this change being made due to those teams, even though these teams are either top of the league or in the middle of a rebuild, in the whole grand scheme of things, this change doesn't really impact them nearly as much as the teams that I personally think this change is directed to.
The only teams that are truly gutted by this change are the ones that have built their house made out of straws by gaining assets thru lottery picks at the expense of icing a competent roster. By the sounds of it from reading recent public posts made by execs, the exec wolf has been howling for years now and unfortunately all to deaf ears. As a GM who has been here for more than 5+ years now, I too have witnessed these strawhomes being built. And unfortunately, the neighborhood that once had just a couple of strawhomes now have multiplied. It really is unfortunate as I think it's gotten to the point where some GMs just think it's okay and even normal to proceed in doing that but it clearly goes against the CBA you accepted and chose to abide by when being given a team to GM. You have goal A and have justification B to build your team a certain way but that doesn't mean justification B allows you to go against the CBA. I think this breeze that knocked down your home now forces you to take ownership of what you built. The execs can't force you to make a trade or sign a player but you must follow league rules like how the other teams do, so something had to be done.
I challenge you to look at your peers who are also rebuilding. Within this group of rebuilding teams, how is it fair for a certain group of rebuilding teams miss out on top picks because they chose to follow the rules and then have their peers who don't follow the rules win lottery pick after lottery pick. I know there are 1st timers who are here so it's not like you've constantly been doing this but that doesn't mean what you're doing is fair/within rules. If anybody is getting slapped in the face it's these teams who are honorable and want to play the game as realistic as possible that are getting canned year after year from a lottery pick. I think a part of the problem is the the fact that tanking has become so mainstream nowadays that people think it's an effective way to run an org. From what I have read so far about this topic the few times it's been made public is that all the exec wants you to do is just to ice an NHL roster. A fwd group, a blue line, starter and a back up etc etc but the most important thing being that they are actual NHL players.. the GML is a game based off of the NHL not the AHL.
The most effective way in tanking is to get AHL talent on your main roster yes but this league derives from the NHL and your first job as any other NHL GM is to have an NHL calibre product which means for us is to ice a full NHL team. If these real life GM's don't then they lose their jobs. This same concept of getting AHL players who don't have NHL status/just lack of NHL players in general has gotten out of hand now as throughout the years there has always been a revolving door of 5 or 6 or so teams that choose to take this approach. The number was never that big from what I can recall when I first started my tenure but it's surely isn't diminishing which isn't healthy for the league. This notion of not icing an NHL squad needs to be removed and I for one think this is the healthiest way to go about it as it seems the exec is done asking and just going to lay the hammer. Sucks for first time GMs but again, I am pointing back to the CBA.
It's unfortunate that this ruling has to exist in this fashion but I can see why it's necessary and needs to be done. The only .2c I have to input is to maybe find a way to have genuine playoff teams who just missed the playoffs not have the exact same odds as somebody who is rebuilding? Tiered odds maybe? Overall I like this idea of adding an extra layer of entropy to punish intentional bad behaviour.
