digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The deadline for sending players back to the farm just passed, and four Cheap Thieves made the cut and will be on the team for their rookie season:Bobby Ryan, ANA. $2.00 Age 22 NHL Draft Pos: 1st rd 2nd 2005 (drafted by Cheap Thieves in 2005)- Ryan led all NHL rookies last season in points despite starting out in the minors and is looking to win the AHL rookie of the year award this season. He started out slowly, being demoted from the top line in Anaheim, but recently had a breakout game and looks to be on track.Steven Stamkos and James Neal are gonna be a challenge.

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 All you guys wished you had the best young offensive dman in the game signed long term..Bogosian is the real deal and WAY better than Green overall...If he played with Ovechkin he would put up sick numbers. We can bet my young D-man against your Bogosian... ever heard of Alex Goligoski? Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 What a sick part of the schedule for Thieves goaltending. Coming into this week, 3 of the last 6 games I played with NO goalies. I just did my lineups this week, and I start Monday and Thursday with back to back NO goalie games! The good news is, for the playoffs, I have goalies every game... that, plus my forwards rock the house. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 There's that, and the fact that you can score 7.5 from your forwards and defense every night. That'll help you overcome this stretch. Link to post Share on other sites
Swacker Dave 89 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I was lucky to run into you with No Goalies tonight... only problem is I have NO DEFENSE playing!!! Lucky bastard! Best team D in the league if I do say so myself and not 1 of them is playing against you... if that ain't a crime 'ya Thief I don't know what is! Link to post Share on other sites

With or without goalies, my guys get the job done. Amazing no goalies back to back games and 5 of 8! Crazy. Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Benoit Pouliot Finally Gets His Wish: Pouliot was drafted 4th overall in 22005, ahead of stalwarts like Thieves teammate Anze Kopitar and he's not been able to make it happen at the NHL level. Yesterday he was given a new opportunity which has to be a blessing, as he'll move to hockey hotbed Montreal in exchange for Guillame Latandresse who's also struggled. The whole Canadiens team has struggled, and the Thieves already have Andrei Kostitsyn in the mix in Montreal, but he is off to a brutal start as well. Here's hoping for a miraculous resurgence and an opportunity to see Pouliot and Kostitsyn both playing for the Thieves soon, much like their other one-two punch, Bobby Ryan and Corey Perry in Anahiem.

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Blueline is decimated by injuries which has prompted GM Negreanu to start looking for help on the trading block. Several offers were sent out today and we expect to have some deals to report very soon. These deals could put this Thieves team over the top by addressing the teams one weakness, depth on defense.

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Wade Redden Returns Home... Yet Again! Many moons ago Wade Redden was a waiver wire pick up by a young, upstart GM in Cheap Thieves land, Daniel Negreanu. Somewhere along the long, the Thieves made a blockbuster deal moving Redden to the Swackers for $13 in cash an some draft picks. Somehow Redden ended up in a Thieves uniform again, and this time went to the Swackers in return for a young swede by the name of Henrik Sedin. Or something like that, lol. The Thieves sent Underdogs 3rd round pick along with 0.50 for the injured rearguard. The move is designed to add depth to a blueline that is suffering through injuries. Redden, while hurt, should return to the lineup in about a week or so. Redden is no longer a top tier d-man, but he should help on short game nights where the team is thin.

Swacker Dave 89 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Maybe I'm getting senile in my old age but I am 99.9% sure he's only been a Swacker once. We really need to find out who the other GM was. I can handle trading Sedin for him when he was producing, but not being someone who paid $13 for him! Will the unlucky $13 GM please show his face... line up for the firing squad! Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Kinda funny, but after observing your plethora of no goalie games, I drafted my December lineups, and found my first one to be on December 7th. After lamenting about that for a while, I checked and it turns out I play against you, naturally, but to my delight, you also have no goalies. That works for me. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 See, you ripped the Leafs rebuilding plan, and they listened. Cheap Thieves own Philippe Paradis is now a blue+white Maple Leaf. Enjoy what they do to your prospect, your boy just left the best organization in hockey for the worst. At least he'll get up to the show sooner. Link to post Share on other sites
DanielNegreanu 141 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thieves Finally Have a Leaf In a recent trade, 4th round draft pick Philippe Paradis has been traded from Carolina to Toronto.
