strategy 4 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 That is a much better deal for you. You are lucky my wireless would work for 2 minutes at a time last night and I couldnt stay on long enough to work out a Kariya trade.I would have preferred to work with you and zach, but I guess it doesn't matter. saved me some research time, riiiight?I just realized that I have 10 top 30 picks in the next 2 years... yeah, I'm less unhappy about losing my cap...

strategy 4 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 updated the OP. I have three unsigned guys. haven't heard anything on glen murray or bryan berard, obviously no news is not good news for me...I'm pretty confident that parrish will sign with the preds once it's announced that a-rad doesn't give a shit about the IIHF's rules.

Could be highway robbery, Repik will score more than Lucic at their respective high points, and I think Repik will sustain it for a bit longer. I'm unfamiliar with your system of contracts but if based off of performance or whatnot you'll end up paying more for him. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm unfamiliar with your system of contracts but if based off of performance or whatnot you'll end up paying more for him.Repik is at least a year away from sticking in the NHL. He is a good player, but I personally value young players that have already shown something in the NHL. I love Repik and it hurts to see him go. Either way I love having Giants on my team.I also already have Olesz, but that didn't factor into my trade that much. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm unfamiliar with your system of contracts but if based off of performance or whatnot you'll end up paying more for him.that's the nice thing about the trade. repik is a farm player, so I can call him up at any time in the next five years and the very most I could possibly pay is a 40% raise on his 50c entry level deal. my team sucks for the next few years, so it's cheaper and gives me more flexibility. rich needs to stock his roster and basically is getting lucic for cheaper than if he had been at the auction and bid against me.

I currently have you re-signing one player: mclean. am I wrong?If McLean gets resigned next year it will either be because I'm a genius and got a guy for extremely cheap who had a monster year, or because I'm an idiot and all of my prospects suck so bad that none of them are worth bringing up to take his spot. Whether or not the defensemen get reupped depends on their season this year, but I'm up against the cap already for next year so resigning those big contracts would be tough. We'll see.

To date, there's only been two farm callups in the history of the league, Patrick Kane and Cory Murphy. We'll see at least 10 more by this time next year, I'm guessing.

Now that Sakic is officially back he'll probably be pretty worthlesss as an Av. When Sakic was out last year Arnason was scoring at about a 50 point pace, pretty good for a guy I'm paying a quarter.
