GMs,
It is the National sim Hockey League, a simulation league and one that was created and crafted by many of the fine folks that are in this league. The National sim Hockey League was formulated as a league that attempts to emulate the NHL in any way we possibly can. This includes having player agents which can sometimes give another dynamic to the game. Sometimes, these two can some times not get along.
I, for one, have thrown the NsHLPA out of my office on several occasions when dealing with them. It does happen. I don't think the NsHL would be the NsHL if all things always went your way and all things went the way of a "GAME".
The NsHLPA has a very hard job to do. What they try to look out for as much as possible is to look out for their client. This can sometimes cause disagreements with their employer.
My thoughts are this. The NsHLPA works hard to try to create a REALISTIC environment that keeps things fair for their clients and the real kicker is this. They don't get paid a cent to do it. SO they are public enemy number one and also try to uphold the realism of having agents in the NsHL.
I don't envy their position and they don't get paid a cent to do it.
The bottom is line is this:
The BoD, the NsHLPA, and the Commissioner's Office works VERY VERY hard to try to bring the best to you every season. It's realism. Sometimes that can mean it's not going to be a bowl of cherries. You get through it...move on, you learn from it, and you grow stronger.
I apologize to everyone for the spam that a disgruntled GM gave to everyone tonight. I understand his frustration but I also know there were MANY options and easy solutions to this and quitting over it was really a crappy way out.
I also want to tell you that I will continue to pour my heart and soul into this league and work as hard as I can for the great GMs of this league that clearly is better than any other I've ever been a part of. I assure you of that.
Thank you.
