Me thinks this thread has 4 more posts before Dobber locks it. It's going nowhere.

Then let me get one of those... LOL

I can't believe you posted this......

I dont see this as being a good reason to dump somebody:


Sometimes you just cant be as active day-to-day. Who cares if he posts on a message board? As long as his roster is set, thats what matters. It's also up to him to respond to trades if he feels like it.

And does a 1st place team really NEED to OFFER trades?

Canucks RULE!

I don't know the specifics of the league and what may have transpired between this GM and the commish, it certainly sucks to have GMs who don't reply to trade requests or emails, etc... but I call MAJOR bullshit on kicking a guy out mid-season (especially if he's first overall!). For better or worse if a GM pays his dues on time he's in for the season, you cant kick him out mid stream just because you dont like how he's not 'active' enough for you, thats some bigtime bullshit IMO

Exactly, the only reason I can think for kicking a guy out midseason is if he's cheating (i.e. signed up with 2 teams or something)

Couldn't agree more. Posts and trades are made when they are needed. If you need them to make your league good.....you might need to re-think the purpose. I am in year 6 of a keeper league. Some guys make trads, some guys don't, some post some don't. All are valuable pieces. We have had a waiting list for our league since year 2. Nobody has left. We ended up starting a spin-off of the first league to include the others that were waiting.

Sometimes people talk to much........

This is one of the weirdest threads I've read in my time here at Dobberhockey.

I've NEVER heard of a guy getting punted from a pool because he didn't spend enough time on the live chat and make enough trade offers.

There certainly should have been more communication from the commish to the allegedly not active enough owner. To kick out a guy who was in first place without warning would be disturbing if I were one of the other owners.

If you wanted a hyper-active hockey pool, then it should have been clear to any new owners exactly what was expected - how much time to spend in the live chat or a trade offer every week as a minimum.

It sounds like you are better off out of this pool. Take your entry fee back and count your blessings.

I think this thread has turned into a good example of how to NOT run a league...
