I haven't been contacted at to my thoughts for making the deal. Anyone wants to ask questions feel free. Don't know what to say if anyone feels there might be any "cheating" involved from my end. I've always been active, and continue to be, but at no point have I ever cheated in any of the leagues I've been in.

Cheating's not the problem, my problem is LA had 3 worthy RFA's left on the team in Briere, Ryder and Nittymaki. Two of them are being traded here for a UFA and Mark bell who will be in the 60's next year.

Cheating's not the problem TO YOU... to me, it should be the ONLY problem that matters. But again, I'm fully aware this isn't the "league's" stance.

Are you suggesting there is cheating in this case?
If not then why are you saying "cheating is not the problem TO YOU"?

Regardless I'm not concerned about cheating, I've been in leagues with Garret for almost 10 years now. My concern as commish lies solely in the health of the Los Angeles franchise, for now and in the future.

I strongly encourage people to wait for an official league annoucnement regarding this issue rather than continue down the path this thread appears to be heading.

No, I'm by no means suggesting there's any cheating going on, and I have no reason to believe that it is. When you said "cheating isn't the issue", my response was intended to indicate that in my opinion, cheating should be the ONLY issue that the league should look at when considering a veto, and "who will want the LA team if this guy leaves" should take a backseat to the fact that he paid his $50 and should be able to manage the team as he best sees fit.

Anyway, also as I've said, i'm fully aware this isn't the league's viewpoint.

I don't think you can call what LA has done so far this year managing. I understand that he has paid and is here to stay for this year, but maybe we should look at some other options for next year.
