ThatMike Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Well… this has been exhausting… FWIW, Im still having fun after all these years, and would be happy to contribute to the league more. And my two cents for the zero people that asked for it… Many of us know @theminister personally, and I’m sure we would all agree that there was no chance of intentional maliciousness here… that being said Primal was obviously effected, and didn’t feel listened to, which is probably more the part we should all improve on in the group. But then again, as a total side note, I didn’t appreciate Primal’s use of transphobic language in the Discord… So I’ll officially be team Minister on this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 So the first mistake was picking one spot too early in front of Agent. How the hell does he think that's about him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never want to knowingly use such offensive language though, many people near and dear to me are in the LGBTQ2+ world and believe fully in the equality of all peoples. There are no 'team' so and so. This was just the final straw for me and this is my final post in GML. I appreciate your pointing out the obvious in that not feeling heard after being genuinely affected is the de facto last straw. My thanks to the majority of you for some good times. adios. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Well I have to say I had a lot of fun yesterday and would like to thank @canuck2xtreme and @Rush17 for hosting as well as their had work making the draft happen. If there’s anyone else that helped i appreciate you as well. St.Louis is very excited with the young prospects we selected in the 2021 Draft. We feel we had some draft day steals and wish our selections the best of luck in their pursuit of their dreams. Drafting Svechkov 7th overall was a little off the board for some GM’s we are sure but we could not pass on him and believe his future is bright. We see him being a big part of our franchise for years to come. We have more work to do this off-season but we also feel we are off to a great start Re- Building the St. Louis Blues. Pending some RRA’s that are in queue could we get a roster update please St. Louis Blues Jakub Vrana - Matt Duchene - V Olofsson van Riemsdyk - Colin White - Jordan Kyrou Timo Meier - Rocco Grimaldi - Filip Zadina Yakov Trenin - Travis Boyd - Sammy Blais Hampus Lindholm - Jamie Oleksiak Brian Dumoulin - Moritz Seider Andrej Sekera - Gustav Lindstrom Ben Hutton Kaapo Kahkonen James Reimer Greenville Swamp Rabbits Gage Quinney - Anton Lundell - Kody Clark Joona Luoto - Grant Mismash - K Okulov John Quenneville - Matt Filipe - Allan McShane - Curtis Douglas - Z Magwood Maxime Lajoie - Kaedan Korczak Ty Emberson - Filip Johansson Jarret Tyszka - Filip Berglund Luke Green Olivier Rodrigue 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greensman Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Yesterday was awesome, my favourite day of the year. I want to be super clear on one thing: I was in the room with theminister yesterday, and the combatant above was never discussed or even mentioned once. We were two guys having a blast at our favourite event of the year. GM’s got a sneak peak at one of our more knowledgable GM’s picks, that’s all that actually happened. EVERYTHING mentioned is completely fabricated and ridiculous, and that is the 100% truth. there is no scenario where the departed GM does not owe a gigantic and heartfelt apology. I would’ve been saddened for the loss to the league, but under these circumstances, I won’t spend more time on this than it took to write this post.

RL. Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Yikes. I'm sure that cooler heads can prevail, sad to see a long timer in PO leave. Not easy managing 32 personalities and desires and level of commitment, so kudos to everyone involved for running the ship for 10+ years. Hope it can be water under the bridge but seems like something a lot bigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sharpshooter Posted July 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2021 One thing I know about theminister is, he has never and would never maliciously, purposefully, and with knowing immoral disregard, set about ruining someone’s draft day or pick. If the mistake happened, it was an honest one. Inebriated but honest. That’s TM in a nutshell. PO, Take a breather. You’re heated and may be for good reason from your perspective. However, nothing done will make or break you as person or your team in the short term or long term. You’re a great GM and person. Keep calm and GM on, my friend. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 @canuck2xtreme, respectfully request you give PO a bit of a breather. He’s certainly someone who deserves our patience and support as a long-standing GM who has been an exemplary GM. $&!# happens, we say things and we’ll get through it. Cheers boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post da.moose Posted July 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hey guys, I've tried to catch myself up on the current conflict and I definitely feel we all need to take a breath and slow down if possible. Mental illness is a serious issue and is an issue within my family that has affected me for a long time. I think the fact that @Primal Optimist who has been a long time and valued member has admitted too suffering from some mental illness symptoms is reason that we should all take extra consideration into this situation and try to have a little extra empathy. Anyone who has been in the league for a long time knows the great value that he brings to the league as the GM of the New York Rangers and would agree that losing him would be a huge blow to the CDCGML. If this can be sorted out please reconsider after you take some time man. @theminister I understand your frustration for being accused for something that you didn't do. I can assure you that I can relate to the frustration that comes with being in such a position because I have been there more times than you can imagine. However, whether or not your actions that clearly upset @Primal Optimist were intentional I want to once again raise the often misunderstood issue that is mental illness. Sometimes reactions like this can be related to certain conditions. Whether or not this is one of those cases I am uncertain of but I think that we can all try to deal with the issue a little more calmly and empathetically if possible. @canuck2xtreme I hope we can take the unique situation into consideration and use it as a learning experience. I truly hope that @Primal Optimist has the opportunity to reclaim his team that he has put so much time into building and is welcomed back openly if he so chooses stay. I reiterate that mental illness can be a complicated issue and life doesn't always come easy to those affected by it. I feel like our community here in the CDCGML can take the opportunity to embrace our differences and make sure all our valued members feel heard and appreciated because we have lost too many good GM's who have felt neglected or under appreciated over the years. Weather or not that is warranted is a matter of opinion but I truly hope we can use this conflict as a learning experience and figure out how to sort out these issues in a way that we don't lose great people and in turn make the league better and more inclusive. Cheers. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
