Hokkee's trading was partially the reason why there is a commitee of trading now in the first place, so it's very understandable that his trades will go through a magnifying glass. It's there so hokkee and novice players cannot be exploited in a way they end up without a good team when they if any should have a good team. It's also there so that the best players including Carse wouldn't get to have super teams compared to other players of the same calibre by exploiting hokkee or novice players. In this case I have to wonder for Hokkee's sake that why Recchi (average draft position 19) turns from LaFontaine (21) to Kovalenko (38) ? Didn't you say you want to have the best setup guy for Ciccarelli ? Well whatever the case is if you really think (preferably after trying them out) you would like your team better after the trade, I'm ok with it. I understand player chemistry and feel of them is very important. What comes to the other thing, will Carse exploit hokkee to have a super team ? Even though I and most of others see you win this trade in almost every way, I don't see it affecting your team so much that it becomes too good compared to others like you. It's not like you are getting Roenick or any other top 5 forward like him, that could make you team so good it would give significant advantage in fighting for championship. So for that part also, I'm ok with it.

Should we open Top 10 picks for trade after the draft though ? Then we would see the trade as it is.

I'm in This thing should be debated. I feel getting 4th button into the gameplay (even if optional) is changing too much of the classic aspect of this league. I see GDL as original style (classic) league as a contrast to blitz, which I think is a good thing that we have different kinds of leagues. If we are going to use 4th button in the league, I would rather use the 250ms delay to get the goalie control button (original is 333ms). That way players could still play the game like original (4th button replaces B button), but have the similar delay in goalie control in netplay to that of offline play, which would make it more enjoyable, but still in the original way.

Mahavishnu had 21 in AHL Summer League in 2005 and 26 in ICL season 3 in 2006.

I'd like to point out that it would have been nice from corky to mention where he got the rom from, that he used to edit rosters over it. Now people can get the idea that he has done the graphics work himself. The original SM94 rom can be found at http://update.nhl94.com/

I let kgman win the series by forfeit based on what happened. It was the last possible moment to play the games. I'm sorry if there were technical difficulties. kgman can still play his games against Freydey if that's what he wants, and you play it within 2 days. That is kgman's decision though.

Great games as always with Zalex. Here's Zalex's absolute beauty game winning goal from game 2:

I quess I can allow messaging here for playoffs availability, but still use site's messages instead.

GDL Cup 8 Playoffs are now ready to be played. This season 97.7% of the regular season games were played. I consider it good for summer league. Thanks for all the players for participation and activeness. Players who made into the playoffs, let's continue with being active and play the games in time! Contact your opponents using the site's contact method (it's the only way to prove you are active in case the games are not played). Ask your opponents their availability times and suggest times that suits yourself. Remember that a playoff round is only one week ! From Tuesday to Monday. Best thing to do in a playoff series for commissioner's point of view is to message the opponent right away today and tell the availability times for yourself, and if there's no answer within a day or two do it again. If then the opponent wakes up to play in last possible day it's too late for him unfortunately if the opponent is nowhere to be found. That series would then be intepreted that as default win for the guy who messaged on early week. -------------------------------------------------------------- Playoffs Round 1 (7/12 - 7/18) -------------------------------------------------------------- GDL Cup 8 Playoffs Round 1: higher seeded players can choose to switch the home advantage to their opponents and start playing the games away if they want.

The rules say if both players contacts eachother then an effort has been made, but it also allows for last minute chance to get deductions off. This rule needs tweaking for next season. Perhaps so that only messages sent during gametime are allowed.

I'll extend it for one day. There are few reasons for the 8AM. Mostly because that is 3PM here and it's easier for me to be around.

There is still this week to play.
