    Thumbs down beware of your Commissioner!!

    got the following email:

    ----- Original Message -----
    From: Commissioner
    To: me
    Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 12:30 PM
    Subject: Leagues

    Randy after observing how things are going in the first several weeks of the league here, I have decided to make a switch in ownership as im looking for really active guys in my leagues, that make posts, interact and help make the league a fun league to be part of. As you didnt do anything wrong, but more so just dont fit well with what we're looking for here. It's nothing personal at all. Anyway, I am sending you a refund for the leagues.

    -----

    if he does it to me he will do it to you BEWARE!!!!!!!!

    Lol- I took over your team. Not too bad I must say but it needs some work. Ive already rinsed out the farm club and am in the middle of trade talks with half the league. All in mere hours...

    Thats not changing the rules btw. Thats just keeping his league alive and breathing. The league is great and the GMs are too. All because of a great league commissioner. The only way I can see the guy giving one of his GMs the boot is if the guy didn't check the site on a daily basis. This thread is uncalled for.

    Well that is still a bit harsh... I mean the guy could have gotten a warning or something?!
    Nevertheless, I agree that a commish must act in the best interest of the league and if that mean removing an inactive manager early on to replace him before the season is too far in, than that's what he must do.
    No offense Rgarrow, I have no idea what type of manager (active or not) you were or how this league operates, but I'm just stating what I would do in a sticky situation...
    Keeper league 14 teams (H2H, 20 active players keep 16 NHLers, 16 minors)
    Scoring Cats: G-A-PTS-PPG-PPA-(+/-)-HITS-BLK-SHP-SOG-FOW-GWG / W-L-SVS-SV%-GAA-SO

    C- Crosby, Barzal, Bennett, Schmaltz, Novak
    W- Forsberg, Batherson, Nichuskin, Tuch, Konecny, Maccelli, Sharangovich, Bertuzzi, Kaliyev, Neighbours, Reichel
    D- Carlson, Rielly, Klingberg
    G- Hellebuyck, Demko, Merzlikins, Vejmelka

    F: Fantilli, Cooley, Bourgault, Perreault, Cowan, Ohgren, N. Foote, Goyette, Iskhakov, Denisenko, Tracey

    Sometimes its not about being on everyday but making your presence known everyday by offering trades, posting on the message board, talking on the live chat, etc..

    while i agree with both sides, i believe the commisioner has to atleast give one warning before dismissal.

    Wow. I have never heard of something like this. Totally uncalled for in my opinion whether you were active or not.

    This post is definitely relevant. I would be steamed if this happened to me (but never would since I am one of the most active GMs in the league).

    We have about 8 or so guys in our pool that rarely contribute other than in our Fall Draft and as commissioner I would never even consider removing them.....

    Very touchy situation.

    The NHL should go back to being the NHL. If we want all these ***** rule changes then why not call in the European Hockey League. Monster hits and fighting are a huge part of hockey and it should be kept that way.

    If you were indeed in first place, I call bullshit too. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have a similar situation in my football pool. I have a good team, contending (tied for first) with some underachievers that I am not willing to sell low on. So why do I have to wheel and deal? I love to do it (I am the most active in my hockey pools) but I also love to win which is another reason we play.

    Me thinks this thread has 4 more posts before Dobber locks it. It's going nowhere.

    I dont see this as being a good reason to dump somebody:

    Sometimes you just cant be as active day-to-day. Who cares if he posts on a message board? As long as his roster is set, thats what matters. It's also up to him to respond to trades if he feels like it.

    And does a 1st place team really NEED to OFFER trades?
