Buds Board Keepers League

Hi Tony...I'll look for your registration.

Sorry, I can re-register you. We talked about that before...got tied up with getting these GMs assigned.

This was the first official trade of this offseason but it definitely got its fair share of criticism and opinions. It'll be a very memorable deal given the feedback and it's the last trade made on this forum before we moved over to ProBoards. Now that we have 32 GMs and the new forum is active...no...

This forum won't necessarily shut down as long as the domain is active because I don't own it. Our league activity has moved to the new forum as I hoped. There shouldn't be any new business done over here from this point on. I need to finish confirming the trades and updating our draft picks on Goog...

We're still not at full attendance at ProBoards yet but we're getting close. I don't want to be chasing anyone down leading up to the draft...please register over there if you haven't yet. I've sent PMs to those haven't signed up yet.

Thanks.

We've got more than 2/3 of the current (and future) GMs signed up at ProBoards. Please try to register in the next week or so. Between the forum migration and waiting for the lottery...we've got a little bit of a lull in activity. I figured this was the best time to do our switch to the new location.

In fairness, a lot what has hurt is his career is injury-related. He's played 77 games in the last 4 years and missed two years entirely. This is the bad luck that you can run into a prospect that seems "can't miss". But also some guys might be slow to adjust to the NHL game. They aren't a...

Thanks Frank. I'm not putting a deadline on when everyone needs to register but if you're around and you're aware of this move, please try to sign up in the next week or so. More than half the current GMs are signed up. It would be nice to have us all over there around the draft lottery on the 8th. ...

For the life of me I couldn't find the thread for the Mike Smith deal I made with Matthew...but finally found it. I couldn't remember what exactly I gave up for him. I just remember it involved a 1st round pick. http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?t=12481 The deal was done post-draft in 2015 so the pick I ...

The U18 tournament has gone mostly according to form. Slovakia leading Finland right now is a bit of a surprise. Canada got hammered in the opener against Sweden but they've looked good since. Czechia tends to be a thorn in Team USA's side in knockout stages in these tournaments so that was good to ...

hi scott, this you receive my registration? tried a few times during the day but it seems after i press continue after acccepting those privacy policies, nothing refreshes I saw an account for Dave but I know it's for the other Dave. This morning, I activated accounts for Dave (CLB), Lee and Tbone....

I will say the calender is a nice tool to have. Yeah, I'll use it for start dates or deadlines. You can "schedule" for a time range but every day something is scheduled, it appears in the calendar. You essentially can add an event for a thread. I'll create the selection thread for the dra...

We'll see about that, Lee...are you picky about what team identity or what kind of team you take over? I know you like to rebuild.

I registered. Ill grab an avatar eventually. no team yet Thanks. I've got you on the General Managers group with not team assignment (yet). We'll figure your team situation after we all get situated on ProBoards. Shep staying with the league so he's keeping the Flyers. We'll figure Josh's plans wit...

It must be a quirk when you first sign up but your name starts off all lower case. You can change your profile name after I get you registered.

Thanks for those who have registered so far.

We are live and user registration is open... https://bbkl.proboards.com/ I'm in control of the Admin account and when you register, that account will be used authorize. I've got the forums mostly how I want them. I'm working on the member groups and forum permissions. That'll get worked out as you a...

If we want to talk about how much you should spend on a goalie...check how Kareem acquired Andrei Vasilevskiy: http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?t=8737 Mike gets Franzen when he only plays parts of two more seasons before concussions did in his career. Vasilevskiy comes into the NHL in 2014 and we all kn...

After it "played out", one of my all-time worst trades was (then prospect) Jake Guentzel for Jordan Nolan... http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?t=13145 I gave up a prospect that I liked but didn't overvalue because I needed GP. In hindsight, it's one of those trades I never forgive myself for ma...

"Veteran" GMs in this league could very easily take advantage of less experienced GMs if they sense a weakness or see an opportunity to easily win a deal. I think part of joining a league of this size is you need to learn about each GM and figure out their tendencies. Some guys value their...
