BUF - NSH

[Bruyns]

To BUF

Tomas Plekanec
Gregory Hofmann

To NSH

Oliver Bjorkstrand
2017 2nd rounder (DET)
2016 2nd rounder (CHI)
2017 3rd rounder (BUF)
2017 3rd rounder (ANA)
2017 4th rounder (BUF)

Could have been more greedy just like I said after dealing with BOS knowing they had cap problems but I'm happy with the net results of my two trades today even though Bjorkstrand likely has more value in a season or two.

Confirmed. Once again Bruyns rises to the occasion.

Could have been more greedy..

..and you would have not landed Plekanec, like others had not in fact.

[Sensfanjosh]

Good on Matt, sucks for Mik, but thats the cap.

[Lee]

formatting incorrect on the picks

[Shoalzie]

We've seen worse formatting.

[kyuss]

we'll fix it no worries

[Bruyns]

Added the 20s in front

[The BBKL Insider]

Would have rather seen mik waive someone tbh.

[Robin Hood]

...I offered Bonino plus the same picks. I don't get Mik

[thom54]

so ... gotta make sure to win my division b/c I do NOT want to face BUF 2nd round (and I won't be facing him 1st round).

[Arian The Insider]

...I offered Bonino plus the same picks. I don't get Mik

I assume because Bonino isn't waiver exempt. Or born in Europe haha.

bjork bjork bjork

...I offered Bonino plus the same picks. I don't get Mik

1 - you didn't. You offered Bonino + 2nd DET 2017. There are 4 more picks here.
2 - Bonino is a 3rd liner, Bjorkstrand could be more than that (and I can wait for him, as I have other players ready to replace Pleks)
3 - Bjorkstrand will be waiver exempt for a while and has an even better contract
4 - Plekanec to a strong Eastern team for me is better than Plekanec to a strong team in my division

Hope you get it now.

[Nick]

I offered silfvberg, or a package of better picks than you landed... I don't get it.

1ST TBL
2nd TBL
2nd EDM
2015 Waiver #2
2016 Waiver

Which didn't earn a counter I don't think

As said repeatedly, Silfv only makes 1.25M less than Plek.


as for the picks:
(leaving Hoffman for 4th out)

Oliver Bjorkstrand > 1st TB imho
17 2nd rounder (DET) = 2nd EDM
16 2nd rounder (CHI) = 2nd TBL
17 3rd rounder (BUF) > 2015 Waiver #2
17 3rd rounder (ANA) > 2016 Waiver

I definitely countered after your Silfv proposal. That led nowhere, as you didn't move one inch (fortunately, considering what Torres did to him last night).

I think I mentioned players I would have had interest for, so I'm sure you knew the options you had to add on your proposal.


Funny how people act surprised after what was said in the very 1st page of the Plekanec block thread:
http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12681

for everyone interested but missing a 1st... it's not like I can't take a valuable player back as part of the package instead of a 1st if he is on a cheap contract or waiver exempt

I tried Bjorkstrand, but didn't have the adds to get it done. Good player just surprisingly doesn't seem like there's a big market for him.

What sort of adds did Mik want to Bjorkstrand?

He wasn't being unreasonable I just didn't have high draft picks to add.

and the outcome was predictable:

can't wait for the crying when Plekanec is traded for cheap to someone else

[Matthew]

I believe Mik is over-rating a guy who was drafted late and has done well in his over-ager years. I believe he could have gotten better than this. I'm sure Bryuns loves this for himself.

[kyuss]

oh, if Bjorkstrand doesn't amount to a top 9 player at least I definitely made a bad deal.

But I was only offered bad deals anyway, so it's not like I'll have left on the table much better options.

(I had at least 3 GMs who actually appeared to have made decent offers but they all backed out one way or another before anything was finalized. Interesting, isn't it?)

[Matthew]

Didnt you have more time to make a deal cuz of dats injury?

[kyuss]

yes, but only more time for other GMs to waste my time apparently

[Lee]

not sure why you wouldn't take nelson over that
