Steve

[Mike]

I think it's almost time for our annual "we both have 40 NHLers, how the hell are you all icing rosters??" block.

lemme know when you're ready.

[The BBKL Insider]

i've been at it all summer, i dont understand this years market, the longer we have these players the higher the price goes, especially when teams start having injuries.

It's been a weird few months for trade value.

[Mike]

Maybe once camp is underway and people see they can't expect any GP out of Mike Knuble or whatever other oldballs retiree they've got pencilled in.

[The BBKL Insider]

ya, i was just going to wait until guys came to me, easier that way, i think (as you suggested) camps will open a lot of doors or close them for other players.

[kimmer]

Fuckin rich pieces of shit assholes

[Mike]

[Mike]

[Tony]

You mean the hostages?

I don't make deals with terrorists ...

[The BBKL Insider]

You mean the hostages?

I don't make deals with terrorists ...

you've made like 8 deals with me this summer

[Tony]

Wasn't referring to you

[Mike]

Wasn't referring to you

Not giving you Goc + Stuart for a 1st = holding "your" players hostage. Got it.

[Nick]

Yes. Hoarding NHLers is a real aspect of NHL GMing that we are trying to mirror... But I also do not believe that either Mike or Steve have been totally un-reasonable in their prices.

[The BBKL Insider]

i dont really hold players "hostage"

there are a few guys who drive high prices on me, and when i deal with those guys they certainly have higher prices to obtain my depth than other guys, that said, anyone is always tradeable for the right price.

[Tony]

When I make an initial offer it is almost always to gauge intetest and value ...

Asking a 1st + great prospect for Stuart alone isn't something us losers can do ... you can keep your 4th liners and bottom pairings

[shooker]

Just wait till waivers kick in. These hoarders will have to trade their assets for less rather than lose them for nothing!

[Nick]

still capable of hoarding waiver exempt NHLers. small window of being possible I know.
