General Managers,
Recently, the Board of Evaluators and Board of Governors have discussed internally about attempting to make the GM Game more creative, strategic, and entertaining in the short term as well as the offseason. We have assessed that the best way to achieve our goals is to create an Seattle Expansion Team for the 2018-2019 season that
@phillyjabroni would be the General Manager of until the 2018-2019 GM Game. The preliminary rules would be identical to the Vegas Expansion Draft and the Expansion Draft and trades will occur throughout April until the Entry Draft (tentative May 4). Because this is an executive decision we feel that every General Manager should have input with regards to accepting the Seattle Expansion bid and thus a league wide vote will commence. In order for the Expansion Team to be accepted, there needs to be 80 percent of the votes in favor. All votes will be valid until Thursday, March 15 at 11:00 pm EST. Any questions, comments, or concerns should be directed in the BOE Thread.
Voting Format:
Team Name, GM Name - (Yes-No)
Example
Columbus Blue Jackets, matt59 - (1-0)
Vancouver Canucks, alwaysnextyear - (2-0)
Anaheim Ducks, FlyerFanatic - (2-1)
This means that the current vote is 2-1 in favor of acceptance. Please be sure to follow along and keep up with whomever votes before you.
Thanks,
Nick
