Bruins - illegally removed players from rosters

[joeshmoe]

I as the Bruins no longer wish to participate in a league where the management can mistakenly strip a team of its rightful players.  I understand there may have been some confusion about when contracts ended, but a simple calculation would have made it apparent that rookie contracts were not expiring.  I lost a starting Goalie who I acquired through trades due to this, Ben Bishop, and I lost Marchand.  These are two assets that were crucial for my team.  The ramifications of losing them (for nothing) is simply too much. 

This league should reset to before free agency and allow ALL teams to retain the players who were rightfully theirs.

2 years in a league, only to have somebody else strip your team, is quite too much.

Another proper action would be to invalidate the bids placed one players who already had contracts.  Although a clerical error was made by the management staff, the players in all reality did have contracts.  In any other league when this is done the bid is simply invalidated.

The belief that a player who was signed illegally should be processed as legal is faulty.  It would be possible to argue, that by the same logic, I would then be able to bid on any player on any team, contracted or free agent.  That is what happened here.

I honestly would love nothing more than to remain the Boston Bruins Manager; but principles come first to me.  My team was robbed, hoodwinked, by a clerical error that would never be allowed to happen in any real life situation (Which is the original intent of the league; to be as real as possible).   This happened to ALL TEAMS and is simply not right.  It puts teams backwards when this league is moving forward.  It remakes the entire strategy I have employed for two years.  I lost my Goalie which sat on the Major league roster eating a spot (an economic choice).  I can't just say that's cool.

I love hockey, I love the Bruins, I love UMAINE HOCKEY (which is another layer I put into my team with Gustav and Bishop), I love this league, I put my time into creating it, the rules boards are mostly still my creations.  I plead with the league to understand its mistakes and make them correct.  Otherwise it just pains me to look at my roster and know it was the biggest plunder in the history of the league.

This is the worst feeling.  I don't want to look at my team because I know it was robbed, but there is no other option.  Leave the league I love or deal with injustice.  I will remain on with the deepest of sorrow.

Wow, an inactive owner, I consider this the most ridiculous thread on I have read in awhile. GoCubs7 lost much better players, but came back, won some of them back and tried to make this right. You come here calling out the league, asking for the months worth of work to be reversed, over losing 2 guys, 1 of which you can still win. GL in the Future  :rofl:

I resigned my players, offered extensions, and did buyouts, set my team for the start of the season before august.  Didn't know the rules would be changed.  I had no money in cap because I had players on my team.  I now have 5m and couldn't win back any of my guys worth getting.  Inactive, please.  Doesn't it seem a little disenfranchising to have the rules changed in the middle of the game? 

Furthermore, I am not resigning as pigs offered me to stay and I have accepted...troll

LOL keep crying dude

I get it now Jonathan, because you had a really really bad team you loved the fact a bonus of talent was available to a team with tons of money.  Don't be bashful, you can say you liked how it helped you come even close to being a meaningful team.
