As was brought up in the Trade Rumors and Proposals: Part XXXVIII thread, there are a number of posters that would prefer to separate the Trade Rumours posts from the Trade Proposals & Rosterbation posts. Well, that didn’t happen.
I find it both interesting and disappointing that an Offseason Moves thread is deemed to be distinct enough for its own thread. In my view, it is not dissimilar from all the trade proposals and fantasy lineups that show up in the Trade Rumors and Proposals thread.
If I could, I’d like to suggest that the Rumours and the Proposals be split into the following two threads:
1) Armchair GM, Fantasy GM, or You be the GM thread – discusses all proposed player transactions during the season and in the offseason. All of the trades and UFA signings that you can imagine.
2) Trade Rumour List – A locked and stickied thread that lists links to all verified trade rumour threads. Once a user starts a new thread about a trade rumour, a mod would add a link to that thread in the Trade Rumour List thread. This would provide an archive of all historical (from this day forward) trade rumours. It could look like this:
June 29, 2013 – Ottawa 30th and parade ticket to Calgary for 31st and bag of pucks (SensTwirp)
Link to thread
April 3, 2013 – Bishop to Tampa (Bobby Mac)
Link to thread
March 30, 2013 – Bishop to Calgary for Glencross (Boo Boo)
Link to thread
Anyway, it’s just a thought. I think this would facilitate tracking the rumours and the sources. Obviously, it would be empty initially. I personally don’t have a problem with individual threads for each trade rumour. But I’m just one guy. What do people think?
