I don't know if It's too late to apologize for the way I reacted yesterday. I should have calm down before posting a reply.I know now that the league put a big emphasis on prospects and It seems that the older players and the draft picks do not have the same value.I would like to continue as the GM of Toronto if I can, keeping in mind that in the future I will have to protect what's left of my actual and future prospects. I realize that I have a lot to learn and I will have to change my mind set.With regard to the trade, if the veto is not confirmed, I still want to go ahead with it because it was done in good faith and I'm not convince that in the and I will be the looser since I will end up with for NHL goaltenders. ThanksRic
Sorry I am really late to the party here. I kinda was recusing myself from this deal because in full disclosure I had offered him a goalie deal of G Craig Anderson, $6.1m (2019-2020) for C Alex Galchenyuk, $3.2m (2019-2020) (with the plan of negotiating down to covering some of andersons contract.) and I didnt want any appearance of bias when voting. Personally I would never give up that much youth. (basically 5 - 1st round picks with 3 already quite successful at the NHL level) for a goalie that was losing starts and had been benched in the playoffs and now having hip surgery. There is a lot of potential there for this to be a disaster by year end or 2 seasons. I think Schneider is on a short leash this season. But I also get your urgency to finding a goalie #2 and this could turn out fine if Schneider rebounds this year. All this said.... This is going to be a little unorthodox on my part. I am leaving my vote in your hands. If after mulling this over the the better part of a week and understanding more about the league. If you still think this is a deal that is the right direction and within the vision you have for your team I will approve. If you want a mulligan, say veto. This is also with the idea that you are committed and here for the long haul. I respect a guy that lives and dies by his decisions.
