Some guys get Ovechkin, Malkin, Spezza, Backstrom....we get Campbell and Quincey. Winner winner, chicken dinner. pretty interesting that we both valued Campbell at the same thing. A 2nd round pick plus a throw in who is cheap and at least in the NHL. 2016 2nd beats a 2017 2nd. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 pretty interesting that we both valued Campbell at the same thing. A 2nd round pick plus a throw in who is cheap and at least in the NHL. 2016 2nd beats a 2017 2nd. I thought a 2nd was a little too much, but nothing else worked. I kept trying to find something else to be thrown in my way (a 4th, some money, a player) and came up with nothing. I took Quincey as possible depth just in case, though hes pretty useless. Even Campbell is fairly average now, nothing like he was. I just have no depth at D beyond my top 4, so he will get used often. I hope his schedule works well, never checked that.

I hope his schedule works well, never checked that. we basically looked at it the same way. I didn't want to give a 2nd but felt that was the price needed to get it done but I wasn't willing to go more. Biatch was open to me and gave me the chance to improve my offer without telling me who I was in competition with for Campbell. I love my top 5 but there is a massive drop off after that and Campbell would have been an upgrade over guys who never score. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Also, I didn't have a 3rd to give up this year. Already traded it evidently Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks Biatch for keeping players out of conference. If Im not the one getting the deal, my next fav thing is when the players are out of conference. Wasnt happy to see Ovechkin, Crosby, Spezza here. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Get a text from Zach. Nice enough to let me know Mark Streit is out tonight. Unfortunately, I didnt see the text until 6.5hours before game time. Ironically, we play each other in the FCHL, and I have Streit there too, and I will be making the change. Curious to see how making the change hours before ruins the league by the morning. Well played Zach. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Turns out I have Sutter who isn't playing too. I only learned that 5 hours before puck drop. i guess it's better for the integrity of the league to have open lineup spaces than active players. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 open lineup spots = parity ultimate goal is to play none on none, tie game. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Figures Voracek would score his first vs me to break our tie. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yet another reasons Biatch is a genius - guys who play in the early games = more likely injury reports will come early enough to make a change! Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Nov 23rd game: First night of no longer automatic Kessel/Voracek as my OT, took off Voracek as my OT after hearing he was a 4th liner to start the night. Costs me the game as Voracek gets 2A, Iginla gets nothing. Still manage the cheap OTL point. Team is slumping badly, really missing Streit as one of my top D, running out of excuses.

It's a tough decision I have faced and we all do. Do you do lineups on reputation? Career numbers? Recent 10 game history? Match ups? You are worried that one game you sit that guy he will get the hat trick. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I think that's the ultimate (and yet unanswered, or perhaps entirely unanswerable) question. I have that problem in the FCHL. All of my good guys from last year have basically quit hockey (Hornqvist, Kunitz, Foligno, etc). They mostly ride the pines now. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Obviously that was some well intentioned ribbing, but I feel like a jackass after Toffoli went nutso and popped in the hat trick. Edit - oops, now even my crappy forwards have scored. I'm embarrassed. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 First 3 games of the night, there have been 9 goals so far. 5 of them are by Whalers' players. We should be playing on 4 game nights. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 To Whalers: Lecavalier To Magically Delicious: $.75 in 16-17 + Nick Spaling FWD TOR Breakdown of the trade: I'm an idiot. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 To Whalers: Cgy gtd (26th in the league+probably a buyout candidate) To Shoot Loose: $.25 in 16-17 + Buf gtd Breakdown of the trade: I thought it would be a good idea to make my goaltending worse, and to pay extra for that privelege. Seriously, Cgy seems to have improved, and I finally got around to actually checking my schedule for gtd teams not named Montreal, and I noticed awful Cgy fit very well with NJD+CAR. I'm hoping they keep up this good run, and help me in the playoffs/reject Cup. I plan on being forever known as the luckiest run in AHL history. Also, I figured if the commissioner of the league thought Calgary was worth $1.75 in the auction, he must know something I dont! Link to post Share on other sites
