Franchise NHL: Completed Transactions / Re: BLUES INTRODUCE NEW OWNER DENISE51
« on: August 02, 2019, 07:53:01 PM »
Welcome to FNHL Denise51. I've been around 4th or 5th longest and it's gotten better in this league each year with the level of play and the calibre of owners. Goalies are worth a lot and free agent bidding can get inflated. Trading is a great way to move players you don't want and add ones you do. Draft picks are valuable, Entry and Supplemental alike. Welcome! :toast:

I know I just joined but I am a hockey fanatic. Therefore I have asked Psychotic if I could own the Ducks as well although I might hold off as well. If I don’t buy the Ducks if I can I would be willing to buy another team if anyone with multiple teams ever wants to give one up which of course they don’t have to on my account. I am just putting my name up for consideration if anyone ever decides to sell.

If by chance I don’t get a second team by then I will definitely be putting my name in for ownership of the Seattle team which as Psychotic put it I can if they are in separate divisions which I believe they will be. The Blues are in the Central division and Seattle will be in the Pacific division.
:thumbsup::thumbsup: I got to say I like our newest owner!

Franchise NHL: Completed Transactions / Broadway Buyout: Kesler sent packing
« on: July 21, 2019, 03:04:36 AM »
Given his limited ability to contribute and advanced age, we feel it's time to let Kesler pursue other opportunities.

Ryan Kesler, $1.5m (2018-2021) gets a 1yr BO for 2.9m (2018-2019)

4 years in Carolina showed me Francis needs more seasoning as a GM. Guess that's what he'll get in Seattle.
:thumbsup::thumbsup::iatp: Couldn't agree more. Personally I feel Francis has the makings of a great head of player development and spotting talent. Pulling it all together isn't what Francis is at this stage of his GM career.

What was Ron Francis's greatest accomplishment as an NHL GM again?

I think I read somewhere that he was behind drafting Sebastian Aho in 2015 35th overall.

Another writer said dealing Sekera to the Kings for a 2016 1st rounder (Julien Gauthier 21st overall) and Roland McKeown.

Then there's landing Teravainen and Bickell from the Hawks for a 2nd and 3rd.

At a very high-level I have to say Francis may know his talent when he sees it. But over the span of 4yrs as a GM nothing stands out (especially missing the playoffs every year he was in charge) and makes me think Seattle will start off the way Vegas did but then again, few people thought VGK would kick butt and reach the Stanley Cup finals in their inaugural season.

He's the same guy who signed Scott Darling to that 4yr $16.6 million deal right?!? :doh:
His version of the Canes never made the postseason.
Not sure why Seattle wants to start off wallowing in the league gutter. They have every chance to start their franchise on a winning path the way Vegas did. Hope Francis has a better run as GM in the West.

Well, it's a BIG deal around these parts when an owner re-ups and picks up his 3rd FNHL franchise.
GODZILLA and BLKHWKFN each own three teams and we are graetful for their commitment to Franchise NHL!

Now let's see one of your 3 teams try to win our money. :money::toast::winner:

  • Rhino7: @Daddy, thanks for what you said lol. It was the ultimate challenge to beat JWalkerjr88 last season, I wanted my path to go through him so it makes my title run that much better! I just wanted to get to the SB and figured at that point anything can happen and lucky for me, my boys had enough left to take out BAB. Live is the most challenging league I’m in and most fun, so thanks for what you all do to make it that way.
    Today at 10:28:58 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: Rhino that was a pretty close final too i think
    Today at 10:41:59 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: eitrher than or i had somekey players not perfoem well at all regardless great win by u
    Today at 10:43:31 PM
  • Rhino7: Appreciate it, your team is solid. I expect to see you make another run
    Today at 10:46:37 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: You did well Rhino. I appreciate the battle. The loss didnt sting more because i was undefeated, i know fully that being undefeated in the reg season doesnt mean anything in the playoffs. When rhino and i played this past season, the better team won.
    Today at 10:58:04 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: This next year im coming full force. So far my pattern is win a chip every other year. Lets keep the streak going!!
    Today at 10:58:35 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: im coming back too
    Today at 11:02:00 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: lets see if my team performs like last yr
    Today at 11:02:10 PM
  • Daddy: Well.. if im undefeated heading into the NFC Title game & I lose. I may beat up my neighbor. I dont like that guy anyway.
    Today at 11:07:13 PM
  • Daddy: I hate losing. Especially when its the biggest moments. I hate my teams i root for to lose. I really hate for the teams i built myself to lose.
    Today at 11:08:50 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: I dont like losing ever. But a loss is a loss. Im pissed either way
    Today at 11:09:47 PM
  • Braves155: Are you also a perfectionist in your everyday life?
    Today at 11:10:05 PM
  • Daddy: Im not a perfectionist in my dynasty life. I make all kinds of bad trades and make all kinds of mistakes.
    Today at 11:10:51 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: If i traded all my picks to a division rival in a rebuild and he beat me in the title game with Desmond ridder or lose undefeated. Its all a loss at the end of the day
    Today at 11:11:08 PM
  • Daddy: Nobody is right all the time. Its the beauty of sports.
    Today at 11:11:13 PM
  • Daddy: Beat me with Desmond Ridder and i trade for Desmond Ridder.

    Today at 11:13:04 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Rhino beat me with goff and then traded goff
    Today at 11:13:44 PM
  • Daddy: It helps to know sports but ive signed guys ive never heard of like SP Dallas Kuechel. Nobody knew who he was. I saw he earned a spot. I took a chance. A couple years later the dude wins the Cy Young.
    Today at 11:14:05 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: 3 out of the 4 starting QBs in the title games have been traded this offseason
    Today at 11:14:21 PM
  • Daddy: I think i had him on a prospect deal.
    Today at 11:14:22 PM
  • Daddy: It helps just to fill up your roster and sign good contracts. If you dont know crap but keep a full roster and manage finances, you will kick ass.
    Today at 11:15:26 PM
  • Daddy: I wasnt a genius signing Kuechel. I was just filling an empty spot. I got rewarded with the best pitcher in baseball for a few seasons.
