Franchise NHL: Completed Transactions / Re: 2020 FNHL Entry Draft (UN-OFFICIAL)« on: November 15, 2020, 11:46:43 AM »I thought I knew a thing or two about prospects but I agree, some of the owners in this league are ringers or work as scouts or something. Uncanny ability to spot talent. I feel my Sabres have had a number of solid picks in recent years and we're heading in the right direction.I've dug into the past and looked at the drafts and noticed several teams are quite good at the draft table. That's what I'm here for. Game on!! 55
Franchise NHL / Re: Congratulations King Boseman, FNHL Seattle Kraken Owner!« on: November 15, 2020, 11:37:44 AM »Absolutely. I'm here to compete. Wouldn't be fun otherwise. But like any new owner walking into a new house, there's lots of housekeeping and cleaning of said house early on so I'll be busy but that'll taper off as expected. Regardless, I'm happy to be part of a deep 32 team league. 56

Franchise NHL / Re: FNHL History - Stories« on: November 13, 2020, 03:13:06 PM »My story isn't directly about FNHL but about my BY experience. Still involves FNHL indirectly. Sounds a little extreme to be shown the door after just joining a league. I've been in leagues where GMs fight and argue constantly about stuff like rules that are written and spelled out for all. Then you realize it's some 20 something who thinks raging on others is the way to make a point. A personal pet peeve is GMs who complain about reply times to emai/PM/trade offers, then they take way longer if you ever happen to send them communication/trade offer. Weird entitlement thing I guess. Stuff like that takes away from the enjoyment of fantasy. I stopped a few years ago and stepped back from several long time leagues where people were getting petty and telling each other how they were offended by this and that and challenging things left and right. The worst is when people start bringing their personal lives into fantasy sports. Pay for therapy like the rest of the adult population. Oblivious to the fact maybe my real world stuff is way more complex than theirs and involves dollar amts that are not on the same level as theirs (happens when you're in leagues with 20 somethings or early 30 somethings) and to just park their personal issues at the login screen. My pledge to any league I join is expect to see me go for the title immediately. Expect me to respect your messages if you show respect for mine. Expect trade offers from my team, but if you need days and weeks to think it over, that's fine just don't expect me to wait around with the same offer from last month. Expect me to have an opinion (respectful) and don't expect a push over because that makes for a weak and easy league. If you disrespect my fantasy team with lopsided trade offers, expect me to return the favour. I do not bring my personal life, religion nor politics to a league and I don't want to hold hands in side-by-side bathroom stalls. 58
Franchise NHL / Re: FNHL History - Stories« on: November 13, 2020, 02:49:05 PM »I had some lore with Anton Forsberg too! I bought him out because I thought 3.3m was too much money. He ended up starting a few games to end the season and then I believe he went to Chicago. He ended up going for something crazy like 14m per in the offseason. Sharks won him. Owner sold Sharks and bought Wild. Wild traded for that albatross. Wild dropped him in the middle of the supplemental draft, when they weren't even up to draft, and I took him. Wild GM is still paying 5.2m for the next 2 yrs while he is hanging out in my minors. Worst contract ever handed out in this league and its probably not close. I took a trip back in time and looked up the Anton Forsberg free agent bidding. WOW. 66million bid!!!! Then seems the new Sharks owner unloaded the Forsberg contract back to the same guy who bid up Forsberg. http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=326687.msg1330225#msg1330225 But to trade for a $13.2m cap hit only to drop him a few months later. WOW again. It's true Forsberg looked like he would get a chance to start but he wasn't a lock by any stretch. 59

How should we handle trades now? Should teams still post on the transactions page on this site even though the Fantrax trade feature works and allows gives all teams 3 days to review pending deals that have been agreed upon?
I have a few pending trades that might or might not pan out and want to know how to go about making sure everyone's ok with them. 60
Franchise NHL / Re: NHL Considers Temporary ReAlignment & Shorter Schedule. Not Surprised.« on: November 12, 2020, 10:05:30 PM »
Reminds me of the prospect tournaments they play pre-season as part of training camp or extended rookie camp. 3 teams get together at Traverse City.
I think it's a great idea. I'm just wondering if there's enough game variance for the proposed Canadian Division with only 7 teams. Wonder if they'll get an exemption to travel to the states and play a mini-tournament against some US teams. Perhaps at the tail end of the regular season? |
