Rangers GM Released

[Drew]

Shelby, GM of the New York Rangers has been released due to inactivity. He was a good GM but was no longer fulfilling the GM Code of Conduct. I will be setting the lineups for the Rangers and hopefully bringing in a new GM quickly.

At approval of the league I would like to do a few extensions for the Rangers so that their team isn't put at a disadvantage for the second extension period.

For what it's worth, I am very interested in this team. Has 3 of my favorite players. Please put me in consideration for this team.

Thanks,

Eric

I'm ok with whatever you decide to do Drew. Honestly, I don't see it taking very long to get a new GM in.

The only thing is that now extension period is closed so either we allow the new GM a time period to make extensions or I can do them now.

Hire me and I'll make them before the weekend ; )

I think it best for the Commish to use executive authority to do them now, pre-hire. Let's not rush the vetting process.

Why not just give the new GM like 2 days to do them after hired? If they don't make them within that time, then they SOL

For the same reason we don't just say that franchise is SOL right now. In releasing the old GM the league has taken control of the franchise. As such there is a window to make some one-time moves outside of rules. Personally I much prefer that this exception is an allowance made by our Commissioner rather than one granted to a new hire. It assures that the job will get done right without bestowing any special favour.

This is entirely unrelated to the hiring of a new GM for which there is a thorough vetting process on top of a waiting list. Undoubtedly you would be a great hire but that is clearly a separate issue.

Alright just asking. I know I would hate to see one of the guys not to get re-signed.
