Yes, we can give playoff teams waiver exemptions.

But is this a wise move? It's documented that 'injury time' is a cumulative thing, and can we conclusively say that 'making a player sick/injured' won't have a long-term effect? I really don't understand the rationale behind ditching playoff rosters to begin with? They are there for a reason, and most of our 'potential playoff' teams are run by long-standing GMs...Commish wrote:We can work around it. I can give them all food poisoning, which will allow you to shift them to the playoff DL. They would not be eligible until the next series (technically), but we can dodge that too if we have to.
Suffice it to say, these are not circumstances I had foreseen.

And speaking of long-standing GMs, was there an attempt to contact Duane before using the nuclear option on his team? Was it really necessary for the sake of moving forward to totally disrupt a playoff team's roster like that? I know I'd be pretty angry, and I'm sure there are others here who'd have felt the same way... it's not like KTY is an orphan team. Duane is one of our two longest tenured guys - nearly from PEBA Day 1, and he certainly deserves a bit more respect.
I hate being like that, but at a time where we are struggling, member-wise, we should not be ignoring the needs of our longstanding members. I truly appreciate the hard work that goes into running the league - I know I would flounder miserably, so I am greatly appreciative.
