This pool takes a fair amount of manual data entry, and there are errors. Normally when they're pointed out, I just fix them, and we move along. Yesterday an error was pointed out that was more significant, and I need your help to decide how to proceed, mostly because the error caused my own team to be running with an invalid roster for almost a month.
On November 21, I made an honest mistake. On activating Otto Somppi from the IR, I gave myself four special designation players. I knew about Somppi, Beauchemin and Donaghey, but I had erroneously recorded TJ Melancon's age as 19, when he is in fact 1996 born, and should count too.
Normally, I would retroactively cancel a transaction if it were a standard add-drop, but it's not that simple, because the IR spot is in play.
If it were another GM, I'd chalk it up to an honest mistake and allow the player to make an adjustment to get their roster in order, then proceed. That said, I'm running this thing, and feel like you should be able to hold me to a higher standard.
Therefore, I suggest as remedy that I make a roster move to correct the error, and deduct Somppi's points scored since his activation. Since Nov 21 Somppi has 3 goals, 4 assists and 6 penalty minutes. This would result in a 8.2 point penalty
I'll leave it up to all of you. Discuss here, and whatever seems to be the consensus, I will do.
EDIT: Somppi had a 3G/4A/6PIM line. I previously had it at 3/6/6.
