Something clearly needs to be done as I really don't want to have this conversation every time a deal like this is proposed. I think Snugy's proposal is the best way to approach this and should have been implemented this way from the start, but we should do it as the NHL does, per Corey's suggestion (each side owning 50% of the contract). Can someone clarify how this works for a multi-year deal? If unclaimed does the player sit on waivers for the entire length of his deal? If not, is there reduction in subsequent years and how is it handled?
As far as this deal goes I think it's completely unfair to veto when the last deal passed. Overall this deal is FAR more fair than the LA/MON deal. Like it or not a precedent was set. Sam you're being a complete hypocrite here.
The trade has a majority approval with Brian abstaining and will be passed, per the rules.
I'm locking this topic and will post on the main board so we can iron out exactly how to handle the waiver system.
