He statistically would drop 181 points to FA and 101 points in the standings per our league format (top 12 F, 6 D, 2 G count towards your standings total). He picked up Ryan Leonard, Frank Nazar, Gabe Perreault, Logan Couture but won't keep any of them as he has a stacked young roster already.
in the other league he dropped 63 points in the standings to go from 8th to last place picking up couture, Ryan Reaves and hildeby again he won't keep them.
though clever to do and there not being a rule against it bc no one has done this before. Should it be allowed as we've had issues with people trading and vetoes happening bc of last minute deals gaining 100 points and flying up the standings.
my issue is with the timing of the moves as these were his only moves all year. Also this has major standings implications as instead of trading assets and getting value he has made stupid moves to plummet down the standings a better pick. But if I'm another GM I could just add all these players and gain points to do the opposite and go up the standings from 6th to 1st. IMO if they are viable moves make them but if they are in this sense a manipulation of the rules to plummet down the standings then they can't go through it'll make a joke of our league.
This is an offseason issue unfortunately, if there's no rules now not much can be done. Much like we're seeing in the NHL with LTIR issues and playoffs can't change the rules mid season, even if it screws with the standings.
