SJ confirms. Adviser for STL to confirm as well.

Yep confirmed.

dozen hot dogs going to SJ also??

I'd be interested in moving futures for stl players.

Advisor confirmed

don't love it. Much prefer phil the thrill. feel like coulda gotten a player of raffl's quality plus a couple better spects from someone else.

Like Fasching but not a big dauphin fan or the other spects moved.

honestly surprised to see this deal approved by the advisor.

Maybe I'm missing something though

Like it for SJ

Yeah this is pretty bad. Not a great start for STL.

Where's the trade buddy..

The market for high end players seems to suck in our league this summer though. Every team who's traded for the star seems to have won the deal, even if by a tiny bit.

As soon as I saw this posted, I offered
Sam Gagner
Eric Gelinas
Brandon Pirri
Alex Burrows
Linden Vey
Ryan Murphy
Zach Trotman
Brandon Manning

for Kessel.

Atleast they are NHLers..

Yep

That's the issue with moving an 8M W. Contenders can't afford him and rebuilders don't want to pay up. Koomzzz isn't a new GM he has experience in this format and similar to when some GMs chimed in that I should have got more for Crosby and then no one stepped up with a better offer to Will I don't think there are GMs out there who could make an offer that would blow this away and if there is I'm sure Josh will listen and make a profit from this.

I strongly disagree, most were part time players with limited upside. I told him others wouldn't like it and to shop him and I trust he did his due diligence. Up to Josh though, maybe he wants low end depth.

I don't love the deal but I get that the Blues need futures. It's a bold move for the Sharks.

But you got 3 "top-end" spects and fabbri has already established himself. I realize Kessel is << Crosby, but still prefer the quality vs quantity you got!
Not the worst deal overall but I think patience would have proven better results.

But hey, I remember coming in and trading basically all Shiv's guys pretty quickly. Totally understand where Koomzzz is at wanting to deal.

I needed to consolidate, he needed depth and named his pieces. He ended up getting a good chunk of the guys he asked for from me. This was agreed to a few days ago pending adviser approval and I know he was talking to other teams seeing what else would be offered before we posted anything.

0 interest in Lee's offer. Pirri is the only name I like at all from that list. Half those guys won't be in the league shortly.

Lol wasn't saying its a good offer but most of those prospects I doubt make it either
