As a clarification to my last post. Serious offers for my third round picks will be considered. Offers involving a 7th and 9th rounder for the 12th pick in the third round will not be considered. It is also known that this lowballing tactic has been taken as an insult to our organization.
And in a statment issued directly from the GM, "Its a good thing we have universal healthcare up here because I needed to be Resuscitated after receiving the offer."
Yeah, I try not to get to upset when I get low-ball offers from other GM's. Afterall, everyone is trying to get the best deal possible. Maybe that person was just trying to get the ball rolling and hoping for an appropriate counter? Either way, lets not take things to heart.
I know I don't anyway.
The only point where it's a problem for me is when people give you a garbage offer, you respond back with a reasonable offer, and they say you're asking for too much. If people are looking for insane sucker bargains, they can take Portland off their speed dial.
People need to come to grips with the fact that 7ths and 9ths aren't going to bring back 3rd or 4th round value.
