Ye that was shiv's failed attempt at humor


I think Mik is awesome for the league, and believe he is an awesome Gm - except for when I need to trade with him.

Phion I think the reason so many commented against your side of the deal, is that it's one we've seen many times before: new guy comes in, trades away vet nhlers for future assets, realizes he has not
NHL team, and finds no market for distant futures and realizes 3/4 of futures = nothing. Hence the ruined teams. Very, Very few teams have built thought youth/the draft - its takes patience, due diligence ( as in actually knowing the prospect and not the hype) and luck, also
The willingness to admit when you were wrong on a player.

With too much continued Scott, Kareem and Chris this league would suck, they add more drama then their GMing is worth. Yes - all solid hockey guys when not on the rag.

fair enough man, it's really risky, but i already like my core a lot. As i said before, Etem has broken the 60 goal plateau this year in the WHL .. first prospect to do so in 11 years... he has speed, skill, and good awareness.. + he's on an Anaheim team that has TERRIBLE depth .. after Perry, Ryan, and Getzlaf they have little to no one (once Selanne retires, i think Etem will fill his role as a 2nd line sniper)

i'm good with my prospects, i know exactly who i am interested in right now .. i already made a list of my top prospects in order .. trying to snatch up some of them

ah ah Italian roots in full force here!

One of the main issues i see going forward, is lack of depth and salary. The minimum games played rule can be tough. It really sucks to have your once 1st overall pick bumped to 3 because of failing to meet league rules. Nhl experience and proving one has already made will trump hype anyday, imo. A roster player from the 4th line holds value and is worth a lot more than a lot would pay in here.
