As was brought up today, already, and last season, once you make your comment we move on til trade is rejected or approved - that is enough imo so as to avoid trouble, we don't go back and see it's being approved or disapproved and suggust to GM's how they should vote, opinions are like assholes we all got ONE so what is the reason you are still at it You already made your point once. And again, i reiterate.... where is it in the rules that we have to shut up while a trade is being voted on? People keep commenting ont he deal becuase you keep responding. Stop responding and people will stop commenting. I have no idea what you are talking about, I made no comments for or againest the trade since my original explanation of my trade, until Jake spoke up again, guess you don't get it, and I'm not wasting my time with you again. Just remember guys when you vote, that only 2 guys protested this trade twice, as others didn't see a prob., that mattered in the scheme of things.

Guys let's be civil, we're talking about trading cards here. There are more important things in life! It's easy to get flustered sometimes when it comes to improving your roster, but we've gotten ourselves into too many personal battles over opinions. If it passes, good for whoever you felt won the trade. If not, then then good for whoever you felt was getting ripped off. Simple.

As others said, take a deep breath and let's be calm. (This coming from a man who coined the phrase "Inner peace, my ass").
I did vote "No" on Flyers/Kings trade. Nothing untoward meant towards either veteran GM involved - consider both very good friends as I do many if not all of you. Hopefully, they can simply tweak slightly and get 'er done.
I understand the frustration involved as I've probably been involved in the most amount of rejected trades of any GM.
I think any of the "attitude" shown in the comments probably stems for the passion for this league - the passion is a good thing; just use it in a more positive manner.
The Hockey Dalai Lama out...lol

And the fact that a trade that bad passed is the reason why we do this whole voting thing in the first place.
Personally, my 2 cents on the matter (and I haven't voted yet btw), is to reject the trade. Why?
When it comes to draft picks in future years, I don't value them any less just because they are 2 years further down the road. So two 3rds for a 1st is a bit much. Two 3rds for a 2nd is fine (any years), and that was what Philly was trying to get in the first place...but that doesn't change the fact that two 3rd's is not even close to appropriate value for a 1st round pick.
As well, when trades are neck and neck like this one, I tend to favor rejection. 90% of trades never even get 1 rejection vote, so to have a trade this close, makes me feel like rejection is only logical choice.
I'll vote officially if and when my vote is needed, but it will be a rejection when it happens.

I always vote yes even though I never vote. I can't do it on the app and never go on the board any other way. I trust everyone in the league. Everyone has reasons for their deal. I traded Yasiel Puig for Patrick Corbin and Jason Kipnis. I hate the Doyers(because of Gary) and love Kipnis and Corbin. Some people might think it's dumb to trade away Puig, but he could be Jeff Francoeur. Same start to their career. Same buzz. Both are Cuban. My team. I'm not hurting the league except when Puig turns to shit next year and Corbin wins the Cy Young and Kipnis hits .280 with 30 bombs and 100 RBI with 30 steals and 100 runs. It's happening Tater!!!!!!!!!! Log in when you get home and vote or your vote will not be counted. This is a trade that I'm going to hold to strict standards. I did it from work!!!!!!!!!! I voted, just like a real American!!!!!! Or Canadian. I think we have voting in Canada.

Strange though last night when you put the trade up, you were willing to give me a 2nd in 014 for that 1st after my trade passed. Just remember the rules a TIE is a pass.

I don't see what that has to do with anything. Also, no where does it say in any rules that a tie vote is a pass. Personally I feel a tie should be a rejection, but technically its not written down anywhere what a tie means.

Tie goes to the runner you guys. Just kidding. I went to umpire school as a kid and they said the tie goes to the person who made the better play. If a guy isn't hustling down the line, he's out! Not everyone is lightning fast like me.

Tie should be a rejection imo. If a jury is hung, the defendant doesn't get a pass lol
