Franchise NHL / Re: Franchise NHL Trade Discussions

« on: February 11, 2012, 10:53:31 PM »

Got a few pending trades so I am not doing any trading until they are allowed/dis-allowed, so I know better what my needs are. I think I got some RW coming in though. Hoping they are fast moving as the deadline is approaching. To be continued....

Franchise NHL: Completed Transactions / Blues and Rangers Agree....

« on: February 11, 2012, 10:34:18 PM »

Blues are trying to add some talent to their depleted roster. By 2013-14 this team will be a force. I like adding young guys and I think this deal is a clear indication. Kane is a STUD here, and losing him kinda hurts right now, but in the end I have a shot at a better roster and having a STUD like gabby at LW for the future made it a little easier for me. Got a few future RW's in the process.

gets:
Kyle Turris, $0.4m (2011-2012)
Mats Zuccarello, $1.8m (2011-2012)
Matt Calvert, $2.7m (2013-2014)
Brad Stuart, $1.3m (2012-2013)

gets

Darroll Powe, $1.5m (2012-2013)
Evander Kane, $3.1m (2011-2012)

to confirm

Cam is undersized, but hopefully he can be productive. I was in desperate need of RW, so I had to make a deal. The deal takes me from 1 RW to 0 (NHL level) but hoping that it gets me 2 in the future. Thanks. oh and the deal adds cap space that I was desperately in need of .... sarcasm ... what I got like 30M now

everyone is available except
Gabby Landeskog
Jaden Schwartz
Charlie Coyle

I am only interested in the future..... draft picks, specs, and younger guys. I can absorb Cap in the right deal, but not going to do any deal to save cap.

I have a special need at RW

In that case Snake you should hire a new GM to do the work for you as the owner. lol

Drew, I believe that works too but only for active teams. I also believe at any point a team can just stop playing in "re-building" mode and compete.

Joe, a long time is relative and I think in fantasy a "Long time" is one season. If you have to re-build for and not be competitive for more than one year you are bound to lose interest. No one like losing for too long.

I see my Franchise NHL Senators team as a 1 year re-build with a shift to my brand of core players and a farm system that's ready to move up within the next several months or become more valuable as prospects in that time.

A few people told me I can play without a starting goalie so I might just put that to the test or see what the off-season brings with the new pool of free agents.

I honestly think re-building is more interesting that taking over a winner or play-off team because there's more room to shape the roster to meet your needs and how you play.

Look at

and tell me you can rebuild in 1 year and

is probably in a worse position, somehow. I understand

, they suck in real life, but

is good. Somebody drained that team bad. So, yes you can in 1 year, if you find a really bad GM and drain their team. Actually, someone drained my team too, best two players are absent from my team (pietrangelo, backes) I do have something that should at least help me and that is money. With contracts ending this year and current cap space, I will have 43M to work with
