This is true.

But maybe he just doesn't give enough of a shit, and he's got that privilege.

I was just looking out for you Socrages.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

This joke would be so much funnier if it wasn't Indigo who just joined making that post lol

I guess I missed that joke; didn't realize I was supposed to divulge all the stats for the trades. I certainly understand doing it with the trading partner.

 

[BigJonsson]

Anyone have an 88-90 right winger locked up for a long ass time and in the market for an equal left winger?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I felt bad/strange for not posting details about the trade, so I thought I'd throw stats together quick if anyone cares. :lol

 

[BigJonsson]

Whoa, did you make that yourself?

 

[Smiley90]

I felt bad/strange for not posting details about the trade, so I thought I'd throw stats together quick if anyone cares. :lol

Holy wat did you type that in yourself?!?

 

[MacAttack]

For future reference something like:

Meszaros (34 yo DFD, 84 ovr, 4 star white, 1 yr contract @ 5.14mil)

is good enough.

Meszaros is still available BTW.

Edit: You still dont have potential in there, do it over motherfucker.

 

[MacAttack]

I rejected your offer Boss, thanks but too much salary coming back and my roster is full up on third liners for now.

Last call on Grabner, Jonnson let me know if you're still interested.

 

[Socreges]

Haha wow, was not expecting that

(BTW, is it just me or do you have very few quality defensemen now?)

I guess I missed that joke; didn't realize I was supposed to divulge all the stats for the trades. I certainly understand doing it with the trading partner.

I honestly have no idea what Smiley is talking about. I had no problem with your post and was just replying to Cake Boss since he was acting like it was an obligation of yours (though it's true that names alone often mean nothing unless they're well-known).

People in the past have responded with "You'll have to wait and see! " when asked what the trade was. Doesn't really matter

I'll pass

What's daleys favorite strip club? I can't trade for someone without knowing the essentials

 

[Cake Boss]

edit: woops wrong thread.

Looks like no market for Grabner mac, revisit that trade you whore.

What was my offer anyways, I would look to improve it.

Dont even know why I am seeking so many trades, team has been fine.

 

[Socreges]

Dont even know why I am seeking so many trades, team has been fine.

I feel like I should make a trade or two, but my team has been on fire and even though it SAYS I've got $5m in cap space I'm afraid that I'd be over the cap once guys returned from injury (I've got about $15m on the LTIR right now).

That said, on the block:

C/TWF Shea (3.5 star yellow, 62 ovr, 22 y.o., upcoming RFA)

Looking for a 2nd rounder. Shea's a risk since he might be a bust or might develop quickly now to reach his potential, but considering that you can only get 3 star prospects in the 2nd round, I think it'd be a fair trade for someone needing another C prospect.

 

[MacAttack]

My big thing is opening up cap space, your trade only frees up about a mil.

I'll try and re-sign Grabner and Mez will probably end up a FA. I would have liked to get something in return for one (or both) of them and then try to re-sign the other.

 

[Cake Boss]

I will give you a 2nd rounder for him, I have enough center prospects for me to take the risk.

edit: oh looking for cap space eh, I am the last guy you should be trading with anyways, I barely make the cap.

 

[Socreges]

Are you talking to me or Mac

 

[Cake Boss]

Talking to you.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Holy wat did you type that in yourself?!?

Yes I did. I was aware of the format people have been using. But the Trade was already discussed so I didn't think of responding to Socreges with the usual.

Anyway from here on out I'm informed!

 

[Socreges]

Talking to you.

k I'll go send it

Just FYI you're definitely not expected to give us that info. It's up to you. Just saves us the trouble and satisfies curiousity

Totally understand, I've no problem doing so. Keeps it interesting.

BUF/MIN had a trade

OTT/VAN had a blockbuster trade, too

[BigJonsson]

It's not a trade until Nick Kypreos says so

You will wowed.

This trade will shake up both conferences, all teams better step their shit up after this trade.

People will have to see for themselves

 

[Rand0m TAG]

most of my trades are done, but am still willing to move gaborik and ladd.

 

[Cake Boss]

I want to make trades for the big guys, but hard to give up prospects for guys that will only play 1 or 2 years for you theb retire, plus try to fit them under the cap at the same time, which means giving up other players in return.

 

[CCF23]

What do you want for Gaborik?

 

[Rand0m TAG]

Min for gaborik
1st round, prospect and 2nd/3rd liner

Ladd
Draft pick 2nd round

 

[Smiley90]

Min for gaborik

Mind posting the stats/contract for them?

I wish I could do a trade like this with Seguin instead of Bulmer and some other awesome center...dat Malkin...

 

[CCF23]

Fairly high price to pay, but my 1st should be low, and I have a few mid-20s wingers in that range. I'll probably play Marleau with dat Cros.

Pushing for a cup. Now that I've made a "win now" move, I'm open to making another. Maybe a D man.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

I don't think its expiring. Need to double check

 

[CCF23]

I just double checked. He has two years left.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

Interesting trade for marleau.

[Cake Boss]

Woah thats alot for a guy that might retire by the end of the season.

Risky but could pay off.

 

[Socreges]

Damn. CCF could do some damage in the playoffs already.

 

[CCF23]

It helps that Pulkkinen and Wheeler are set to return right around when the playoffs start. My lineup (if/when it's healthy) looks pretty strong. Insulating my forwards with a star winger like Marleau (even if he's old) gives me a good shot I think. Kinda nervous about my depth on D and if my goaltending can hold up, but we'll see.

The reason why I suggested you take the Wings BTW is because they have great roster players (Crosby, Doughty), goaltending, and some really good prospects coming up. The CPU did very little damage after Arab left, whereas Dallas was pretty much decimated in your absence.

Dallas is actually in a playoff spot right now, I think, but they've got a load of shitty contracts.

 

[CCF23]

Wings keep pushing:

To Tampa:

Nick Hjalmarsson (82OV - 30 years old - 1 year left just north of $5M)
Vladimir Sundukov (68OV - 22 years old - 3 and a half star gold)


To Detroit:

Mike Green (86OV - 32 years old - 1 year left just north of $5.5M)

 

[BigJonsson]

I just double checked. He has two years left.

ah, makes sense then

 

[Rand0m TAG]

Detroit going for it.. will laugh if first round upset. Also gonna have a hard time rebuilding if all fails

 

[BigJonsson]

Injuries will fuck him over
