Doesn't matter if you're willing to give up a 1st for a guy on a 7th round tender if you don't have the highest offer on him. Yes, I'm aware.

Maybe you could sit in on a reading comp class. There is no if-then regarding the team's possession of its original pick. As written, it solely concerns itself with the possibility a team has a higher pick in a round, regardless of whether they possess their original pick or not. Furthermore, your interpretation seems to contradict the first listed exception, which establishes that a team is entitled to higher-round draft pick compensation if a team does not possess a pick in the tendered round at all. It logically follows from this that a tendering team would be entitled to the highest draft pick compensation available regardless of whether a team possesses its original pick in the round or not. I would be surprised that they let you practice law, but then I remember you're from Tennessee and it all makes sense. (I kid Rags, I just want to make sure the rule is as clear as possible so we don't have anyone confused or arguing about it in the future) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the Draft and FA (the downtime there) I think it would be a good idea for a few people to read through all of the rules and submit a list of any necessary "clean up" in wording to make rules more clear. I will formally be the first to volunteer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do see how it is ambiguous and can be intepreted in a couple ways. I do legitimately think my interpretation would be the more common one. I was thinking that I would sit down and rewrite some of these after the draft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can read through the rules, bounce my interpretation off of you and then we can address any possible clean ups needed. You can rewrite what needs addressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then ill probably post up the rules by section to see if anyone finds any other ambiguities to address. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Kyren Williams 4.54 at the pro day better time for him Hamilton 4.56 better than the 4.59 but kind of confirms he doesn’t have the top speed which some may have expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whicker Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) A lawyer, a teacher, and a counselor are walking together during the BDL offseason when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says "Normally I only grant three wishes, so this time I'll give each of you just one." "Me first! Me first!" shouts the teacher. "I want to become a millionaire and retire in Cancun with my own speedboat and not a care in the world." Poof! He's gone. "Me next!" shouts the counselor. "I want to go to Anchorage where I can live happily with my family in peace." Poof! He's gone. "You're next," the Genie says to the lawyer. "I want those two back here so we can work on this rulebook!" Edited March 25, 2022 by Whicker 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
