Timo Meier is a Minor Leaguer and will test Waivers...and be claimed, if sent down. Luckily for you the 'I didn't know!' clause is still in effect if you want to take back that send down.

I can't wait to do utilize this clause with one of my players at 199 NHL games played.

[Mitch - Ducks]

Well if that’s the case then I do want to take that back. How is he a minor leaguer? He has 115 games played I thought it has to be over 150

[Mitch - Ducks]

I will drop Williams and keep Meier on my roster

Can someone please tell me the flaw in this clause if a GM waits until the waiver period is over to revert his decision?  Especially if the "error" was made public knowledge a mere 4 hours after his original post.

Let me tell you...a GM can then wait to see if anybody even bothers to put in a waiver claim, if no one puts in a claim...then great the player will go to his farm unharmed.  If a GM does put in a claim then...that's OK I'll just claim ignorance and revert my decision.  The difference here compared to years past is that Nos gave Mitch the heads up a few hours after he tried to send Meier down, Mitch proceeded to have 3 days to correct his "error" which he did not.  Commish even made a joke about it in reply to Nos, and even tried to put a waiver claim in himself.  Mitch has periodically been online hourly the last 3 days giving him ample time to correct his "error", but nope...he waits until after waiver claims have been submitted to plead his ignorance case.  C'mon, who even buys that Mitch actually thought Meier only had 115 games played?!?  You think you don't accumulate games played since the start of the season?  Bogus.

[Mitch - Ducks]

First of all I would have never dropped Meier if I knew he was going to waivers. I did not realise that he had more than 150 games played and thought that I could send him down based on the number at 115. I also did not see that they had notified me about this or I would’ve instantly corrected it.

So what do you do when you log in for hours periodically if it's not check the recent activity in your farm transactions thread?

You see what I mean though? So now you've disturbed the fabric of the league by making me release players (ie. Dell) to accommodate this move because you couldn't figure it out with three days notice.

Completely bogus. This "rule" is absurd and a disgrace to the league. I hated it on day one and I still hate it now. If the league wants a change I urge anyone and everyone to make their voices heard in the summer when the league reviews several issues that have come up during the season (including this one).

With that said, rosters have been reverted back to before the Meier transaction. Don't forget to re-set your lineups if you had already done so.


EDIT: Upon reviewing the exact rule in the rule book it distinctly says that a reversal must be made before the waiver claim for the player in question is processed. Therefore a poll has been created to see where the league stands on this issue. As with every other poll (unless specifically stated otherwise), this will be a poll that determines the outcome of this specific transaction and this specific transaction only. Any subsequent rule change will take place during the offseason.

As the newest new GM, I feel like I have a good understanding as far as not knowing/misunderstanding the rules and having it affect your team. I have had it happen resulting in loss of players that I would have rather kept, but there has also been times that despite my negligence I have had other GM’s reach out to me, seeing the obvious mistake, and warning me about it. That just goes to show the character of this league, through how everyone wants to see each team do well.

In this case, Nos posted directly in your farm transactions 3 hours after your post letting you know of your error leaving you an almost 3 day window to reverse it. As for you not seeing it, thats no ones fault but your own. It’s each GM’s own responsibility to be active.

It’s not like anyone is out to get you. In fact, I’d plead the opposite as no-one had to tell you about the mistake and could have just capitalized on your mistake.

Player movement is arguably the most fundamental rule about this league, so I find pleading ignorance nothing but belittling the legitimacy of this league.
