Oh, I'm definitely not planning on retroactively punishing this owner for his move. As jazzrack mentioned, there's nothing currently in our rules against what he did, so one way or another this owner is in the clear this time. I'm more wondering about next time.

My thinking was sort of along Raidergoo's lines in that, if a team did this in real life, they'd probably be burning bridges with the player and drawing the ire of the Players' Union. From that perspective it seems like it might be worth it to put some kind of limitation on 60-day DL usage (but exactly what kind of limitation, I'm not entirely sure). On the other hand, monitoring a rule like that would take a bit of doing... I suppose it's an open question as to whether it's worth the effort or not.

For the record, we do have one DL rule in place that addresses what mikev mentioned: You have to remove a player from the DL once he's eligible to return within two sims of him returning to full health or suffer a small (but steady) CP penalty.
