kupuck19 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Understood, but it is crappy that there was advocating from a drunk, a pre-teen, and a transvestite to get me swiftly replaced when none of them bothered to try notifying me of the draft start. Furthermore, the draft wasn't even supposed to have started until around today-Friday (hence, I logged in last night). Had I known a draft was going on so soon I could have definitely left a list. Sucks to play all the games in a season with a rough record, receive 3rd pick, and than having the draft start a week sooner than told. Again, I'm not asking for my team back; but Ill make my point clear this time: "it would be fair from those involved with GDL to offer it as a possibility before he drafts rds 2 & 3."

PlabaxV2 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) At first I was laughing at kupuck for being mad, but something to note here : My understanding is that kupuck signed on to see what time he had to pick, so he could either leave a list or be around for his pick. In all fairness, kupuck did NOT have to be online at the time we replaced him, I just thought that it was sketchy that kupuck would not come on the forums so I thought that he was not going to show up. This is why I told Ice there was no point in waiting for kupuck. Since we know kupuck is here, I think it won't do any harm if we allow him to take his team back. It's only one pick, no trading has been done (I think) and kupuck DID play his 56 games last season.

Freydey Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I'll take responsibility for replacing you Vinny. It was a judgement call we started the slow draft friday night as we had everyone confirmed who was playing. vinny lecavalier?

IceStorm70 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think putting KU first in wait list is fair compromise. It wouldn't be fair to ask floating to give up his tea at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kupuck19 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) There is no 'Pavel Bure' in 'team', if I have any chance at having COL back and getting to draft it should be now or never before the draft goes any further. There is still an issue having stuck out a bad season and feeling you should have enjoyed a top 3 player for the next season. If I am first on the waitlist, usually the first team to drop has a bust team (like when I inherited jrod's mess with the Capitals in GDL 7). Personally - I see a big difference between the two.

dcicon5148 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think this might be a one time occurrence to let whatever team kupuck takes over not drop to the end of next season's draft and take whatever spot they would have had if the coach had returned. I guess if someone drops during the season that wouldn't apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kupuck19 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Maybe I wasn't clear that I have little interest in being on the waitlist. I confirmed to be back with Colorado with knowledge i'd have a chance to build a good team. Ill just wait for fall classic to play in a league again. I appreciate the effort to offer a fair compromise, but it just not the same. Edited January 29, 2014 by kupuck19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 If you're not on the wait list and would like to get into GDL XI this season please post here! FYI, we've had 2 people possibly 3 leave the league thus far for various reasons. What we've been doing for repalacement coaches is selecting the coach on the waiting list with the most comparable skill level of the departing coach. This is a change from the past, but the reasoning behind this is trying to keep the league as balanced as possible. Carse was replaced with FlamingPavelBure LA Robbie by Pearate. Not an exact science but you ge the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seano7302 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) What we've been doing for repalacement coaches is selecting the coach on the waiting list with the most comparable skill level of the departing coach. So A guys replace A guys, and B guys replace B guys? I get what you trying to do (and this should be done in every league), but guys like me who go 0-20 in 20 game classic may never get in. (To be fair, I was in the Smythe division, which had LABS_66, Snyder, and Brutus) Edited March 13, 2014 by Seano7302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(To be fair, I was in the Smythe division, which had LABS_66, Snyder, and Brutus) There is spot for news guys every year. Not everything is perfect, but GDL divisions are weighted. It's not really fair to have somebody play his division games vs a prime time guy, get crushed, he gets replaced and the guy goes 5-15 and gives the rest of his division W's.

IceStorm70 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Snyder KG and Seano are the coaches currently on the waitlist. If anyone is interested please get your name in the ring! We have several coaches this year that will be replaced shortly so here's your chance to get into GDL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
