Interesting critique, in a league with massive turnover for GMs, we should also instill firing them? Instability is great, isn't it? Also, the deal I got mostly bent over for was the Ramrio deal and that would've been mandated by the league. I truly doubt the quality of these next two drafts will touch either of the previous two. I'm obviously pleased with Mark, and Ferguson turned into Savea and Flimjollywop is still a monster despite being inactive. Throw in the fact that LeClaire is a beauty and I'm good with it.

I actually like the trade for Las Vegas. Yes they lost a little bit of future talent, but they have a strong core in place now that can be built around with the 2nd's and 3rd's. It's just a different approach to the whole expansion strategy, and it happened to be the less successful one for season two. A team isn't expected to win the year it expands anyways, so really both Philly and Vegas are on par right now.

I would say the deal most have criticized was 2 1sts and a 3rd for Stormblessed, Brady Stropko, and Isaiah Rashad. Had you not made that trade, you'd have the first overall pick, and you would have had a LOT more talent available in the expansion draft for free, benefiting both expansion teams.
That said, I don't think you should be fired, but I did suggest making those pre expansion draft trades illegal to prevent that in the future.

I don't know how you can say that last part. Philly has more talent and more draft picks. They are certainly in a better position.
