He was good until they realized he couldn't stop a beach ball. He is getting a proper pay from me, NOTHING. LOLAny G with a pulse if worth stashing here.
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#msg1330225But 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.
My story isn't directly about FNHL but about my BY experience. Still involves FNHL indirectly. I think I was in BY for all of a week or 2 when I first joined Profsl. I didn't reply to a PM for 5-7 days and got kicked out by Drew for not being active enough for his precious BY. You could tell the guy had too much time and no family, definitely no kids or a house. All I could do was laugh. My guess is the guy actually created spawn now and understand he was premature with his decision. From what I hear he disappears for stretches now. Karma. How does this indirectly involve FNHL? Well, all I can say is after that regrettable encounter with Drew, I appreciate how professional and mature PR & PPG are in this league. People seem to get it here. Play hard but relax and don't let stuff wind you up. Then seeing how Drew used commish privileges to retroactively adjust his lineup numerous times to win matchups just made a lot of us question those FNHL champions. It did for me. Maybe that huge Anton Forsberg BO cap hit is bad karma slapping the face of that Minnesota Wild franchise.

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 started with the Blues here and one of my favorite picks I made with them was D Esa Lindell in the 4th round. I had no idea he would be anything, but I did make a trade with Ripper for him to come to Edmonton. I even made that trade before he ever made it to the league. Pretty good return on investment on this player. That is why drafting is fun, because you never know where you will find the next contributor to your franchise.BB is also a longtime GM here.
So I'm Sizzrat 2.0?!!!! Really!??
My 1st year in FNHL things were run pretty well by hockeyfreak3000 and Gilly It was when Gilly ditched FNHL in 2012 that I jumped in to help keep things afloat for what was supposed to be 1 year but 8 yrs later I’m still around though PPG is in the driver’s seat most days. The odd thing was some other guy named Sizzrat ( GMed ) initially said he wanted to commish starting 2012-13 but bailed shortly after saying that and dropped off the face of the earth.
