I have seen trades that where a lot more lopsided than this one

A trade recently involving Duchene comes mind

I remember one involving Boychuk awhile back that was way out there

 

I really like Arp's side on this one but he only got 1 year rentals

 

 

For those trying to follow along at home, here's the Duchene trade...

 

Sun Sep 03, 2017

To Shooters: Matt Duchene - F - COL $9.25

To Big M's: Swackers 2nd round pick in 2017 which is the 35th pick overall.

 

 

Bob chose D - Victor Mete - MTL with the pick.

 

Mete and Shea Weber are defensive partners to start the season. Coincidence? I think not.

After receiving that heartwarming letter, we typed up this response:   Dear Jordyn   Thank you very much for writing to the Whalers organization. You may not know this being just a 6 year old gir

.

open lineup spots = parity   ultimate goal is to play none on none, tie game.

i couldn't even give you a offer after the players you told me you where interested in (jvr larkin pearson an tarasenko)

 

I have to admit, I am really enjoying the fact that we now use Slack. I can go back and read our messages, and see whats true and what isnt.

I would suggest you go back and read them too, and see how often you came back to me for Skjei, asking what I want to do with him, asking what I wanted for him, long after I had already told you the fwds I wanted from you.

 

Oct 4th I told you who I wanted.

Oct 5th "What do you want to do"

Oct 7th "Lets figure something out for Skjei"

Oct 8th "You still want to move that guy"

 

You are totally welcome to post all our chats here for public consumption.

Interesting question is: For the deal to be considered equal for both sides, how many points would you need to project Skjei at for a ceiling? Like if you believes Skjei was going to post a 70 point season in 3 years, then it's a steal. If you think he is going to top out at 40 points than you gave up too much. What is the sweet spot? If Skjei puts up 55-60 in two years would people think differently about the trade?

 

Point being, when trades are made they are based on owners assessing that talent and it's upside. Same with every pick we make. We pay the price we think the player is worth, so maybe WC does think he has really big upside to be a top 3 dman. I disagree and think Whalers won this trade, but it's not impossible to come up with a reasoning as to why this trade would happen.

You are the man..I love your creativity in trades..

 

Dale and Ortenzio are the same..Having said that , whenever you offer me a trade I have to be very careful because you are too smart.

 

I will bet you anything that our trade in the other pool works out in your favour by a significant margin.

I totally screwed up that one, I forgot rules were changed and that we start 2 goalies now. I could have kept Bobrovsky.

 

(for others, I gave up Bobrovsky for McKinnon, but Mck only has this year left and Bob has 4. I had Talbot, and I thought it was still just a 1gtd starting league, so didnt want to protect 2 gtd out of our 4)

Serge no one claimed collusion at all.

No reason even to bring that up.

We are just commenting on the trade.

Dale right thread is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

 

Reading and comprehending are two good assets to have.

Are you kidding?

Your like a little child man

You want to get me going again

name calling, really?

 

In all these years, I truly think I have been nothing but understanding and kind with you, both in person and online. You chose to make it personal, calling me out on something I posted on here about a hockey trade of all things, and now name calling over a joke about a different hockey pool, like as if we are in high school and not grown men. All over a hockey pool that all of 20 people in this world care about. 20. Thats it, thats all. No one else gives a **** about Skjei/Voracek/whatever.

 

for others who will read this, and whose opinions I respect, I want you to know I took the conversation private and my first words were to apologize to him for anything I may have done or said, as the last thing I wanted was a personal beef with someone I consider a friend. I like to be the guy in these situations who tries to end an argument and if that means I lower myself to be the one apologizing in a situation where I'm not even sure I did anything wrong, better to take that road and try to choose kindness over anger. I hate people who always try to be the tough guy, and I don't care if I look "weak". That is someone else's problem, I'm good with being kind, within reason and without being walked all over. I'm trying harder in my life to find the route to take that shows kindness over anger+belittling others. (sorry for the personal rant, thats just how I see things)

 

I'm through with this stuff, its taken an absolutely ridiculous turn and I really dont have time or energy for this kind of bull.

Have a good day.

I'm the child, huh? I keep rereading everything and there is only one person here telling people to fck off and calling others a bitch and other names while at the same time posting like a 8 year old. I guess you could argue that calling you an illiterate child was name calling but the proof that you're illiterate is quite clear. So that's just a hard fact. So ok I called you a child. I'll apologize for that. Sorry. I doubt you'll forgive me but the proof is here I apologized. It's the best I can do.

 

Other than that I was just actually offering you some advice. When you want to act like a tough guy on the internet it is always best to proofread your post before hitting that submit button. It drives the point home more if people can actually understand wtf you're even talking about. If you write like an 8 year old, people will just simply treat you like an 8 year old. So in reality I was just trying to help you get your feelings out in a more succinct way but you kind of lost it.

 

If you feel like you can't or won't proofread because of whatever reasons you have then you should never get upset when you get called out on it. Especially when you're attacking someone who clearly didn't deserve the incoherent insults you were trying to type out. Either way you should grow thicker skin if you're going to purposely act like this.

 

So yeah, good talk. I don't know what other pools we've been in other than 1 but sure. I guess it's just your thing to take things and exaggerate them to a crazy level. Whatever works for you. Keep on truckin'' homie. Peace.
