Even though it doesn't matter, I deleted it all as for Thom's first trade it's bad practice for 10 people to break the rules.

Wait til he confirms even if your comments are supporting him.

My feelings about this trade resembles Switzerland's.

confirmed.
Edit: Should I run this deal by Mike (trade partner) first? With BBKL being down and all, I am not sure if I am still on restricted management.

Mike just needs to confirm on this thread if you are still in the buddy system.

i'm everyone's buddy, and i approve this deal

that needs to be clarified.
As for this deal though, i doubt any trade-buddy could have problems with it..

Shiv throwing an awful lot of faith at Lupul ...

I think it's the h2h superstud Gio that he was more interested in. I'd take the loss from Richards to Lupil for him as well. A fair trade though for sure, just a matter of preferance. Good trade Thom.

I like it for ze new guy

I think Thom wins both positions in this trade.

EJ over Gio you crazy...

Well, from my relocation and belief, Giro wasn't much until 27. Whereas @ 19 & 20 EJ was a top-quality dman (IMO), injuries, trades, etc and his game is MIA; but at 24-25 I think there is a good chance EJ finds his game again. Bigger, faster, stronger...better?

Gio is a beast

Gio over EJ

Richards over Lupul

Johnson is awful.

Been away for a couple days, but yeah this is fine.

How long is buddy system still in place?

Shiv rapes.

This isn't real life, it's fantasy, and in fantasy few defenceman contribute the overall value that Giordano does. Joffrey Lupul is also a better H2H asset than Richards if he can repeat his season last year, more points + hits, and less cap. Richards is actually pretty useless in NY (fantasy wise), his offense is lowered because of the system, and he doesn't take a ton of draws or play on the pk.
