S26 AGM

@SweeT 9 LoU 84 you're such an over achiever. You were probably that kid in school that would write a 10 page paper when teacher only asked for 3

 

You forget I'm Detroit's agm? Or am I just chopped liver. Sheesh

 

You were appointed gm not assigned a 5M price tag, there all we were looking at here was the 5M guys and then if/how it inflated salaries in bidding and how the teams with/without the 5M AGM did

 

So we have to accomodate the top 1% of players in LG who wont play unless they can be stuck on a team with their friends?

If you want to get the right to bypass bidding, you have to take MGMT.

This battle has already been fought in VHL and was kept in the merger.

The AGM was removed to force players who did nothing into bidding to give more pariety to the league and to improve bidding.

Everyone alludes to the toxicity of the NHL community and this is the crown of it.

"I dont want to play for some shitter and go for 7M or more in bidding but at the same time I dont want to take owner or GM and do work so create some 5M predefined salary for me so me and my friends can shit stomp the plebs"

Also it does affect bidding. Just now instead of the top player going for more the 2nd teir guys get screwed and go for more than they should.

The reason their is so much kick back as far as removing AGM is because people know it gives them a competitive advantage.

If the AGM price was 10m you would hear nearly as many people bitching

 

Why are you against it so much?

 

Ritchie was our 5m AGM until Denham quit

 

Youre out of the loop on this one.

 

How am I out of the loop on this one?

Why don't you explain how this is good for the health of the league instead of benifiting the elite few?

This issue is all about competitive advantage and you know it.

Get off your high horse.

 

Health of the league.

This was removed to improve the Owner and GM pool and to improve bidding.

People forget there was an overwhelming support to remove the AGM spot before and keep it removed when we merged.

 

Just so we are transparent lets see why kbsmith wants the AGM to stay.

First off, KB is the owner of WPG. He runs the team even though he isnt MGMT.

He wants any type of competitive advantage he can get so he will stay in control of the team while resigning himself.

Anyone "In the loop" knows this.

His AGM went for 10.25M in S24 and quit after 9 games.

He wouldn't have the team he has now if there wasn't the paid AGM and he knows it.

This is your advocate. Someone who benefits greatly.

Anyone who has a brain knows the circuvention of bidding via the paid AGM hurts the bidding pool and also the pool of owners and GMs.

It is not good for the league and for these very same reasons it is why it was removed before.

 

Didn't you want Trump in the election?

 

You used the AGM also, if you remove the AGM I guarantee 30 people don't play anymore. Dedicated Owners leave, it will be a shit show. There are more pros than cons. Just stop

 

Just read what people have already said to you.

- Repeat, you are not adding to the bidding pool by getting rid of the AGM
- Repeat, you add more players with the AGM who wouldn't even sign up thus making a lot of teams more competitive
- Repeat, you add more owners who wouldn't own a team without a paid AGM.
- Repeat, paid AGM can help new owners as well

It's honestly none of you business what I do as a player. If I want to help out my MGT by doing a lot of the dirty work for them then I can. If anything, I would encourage more players to help out their MGT like I do. Makes running a team even more smoothly. Maybe if you had someone like me you wouldn't be so tense.

You also proved our point. MVP went for an overpaid 10 mil to a bad team and quit. This is what happens to MOST teams and good players when the go to bidding. So now, instead of not signing up, MVP took paid AGM at 5 mil. He is at a perfect price, we are all friends and no one has quit. Again, the AGM working in a positive way

Listen, this league isn't unicorns and rainbows like you want it to be. If you think getting rid of AGM is going to make bidding more competitive and "poorer" teams more competitive then yes, you are out of the loop. Weve already smashed your theorys about AGM.

 

I wouldnt say you "smashed" them but you made good points but we dont have the talent coming back to have a great bidding pool and teams with good agm we need to pick on or the other

 

Not taking a side but I'm lost. If Kb is not management how does he run the team. Does that mean he knows who's on trade block, waviers, etc. Does he have authority to input stats? What exactly is he managing? Idk if any rules but any team doing this are broken or not. I just assumed only management had trade block, waviers information along with input of stats. Regardless if a pre bidding agm is around or not. Shouldn't all management have to do management tasks? Otherwise you might as well just call it a 5 Million Dollar franchise tag then assign a agm to someone else.

 

Add a 7 mil franchise tag player, and agm assigned to anyone on team post bidding

 

It's a 2 sided sword. Some of the players that might go back into the pool if won by a team they don't like simply won't play or intentionally play like trash waiting to get traded. A great deal of the higher end talent simply don't play whatever hand they are dealt and that leads to people quitting then the lower leagues lose people and it becomes a vicious cycle of trying to limp thru the season for some.

It's simply people lacking integrity to the league is what it mostly is. Either way the league will lose some talent.

 

I'm not sure how I wasn't on your shit list but I think the solution to this problem is keeping AGM but raising the salary to 6.5 million.

I'm surprised nobody is questioning Lou's motive of, you know, being able to retain the same 60% of his roster year to year... ;-)
