Nope. It is a ruling based upon psychic premonitions which is unfair and silly considering this entire game is based upon speculation and the thing I was penalized for hadn't happened yet, in this context. No one knew what the opening NHL rosters were going to be. So to penalize a team for something that hasn't happened yet is absurd. And there wasn't a clear rule for this specific instance. But again, different situations, different actors.
I could have argued this and won but again, don't care. Total panic move. My goaltending battery is absolute fire now. Now that Tarasov was called up who was my number one prospect all along. Don't even want to argue.
It was already announced that both players were send down when you picked them up.
It was clear that they would not be on the opening roster.
There is absolutely nothing to speculate...
And no "psychic premonition" was necessary.
It was clear as day that those players were not eligible to be picked up.
Plus...
You were never penalized anyways.
CRD simply stated that rules have been broken...
And informed you that further actions will be enforced if the rules are not followed.
He gave you a lot of leeway.
Anyways...
I have said my piece.
Everything is fine now...
So we should all move on.
