Considering blowing it up

[anton]

will use this week against STL to assess my team. too many guys under performing.

if/when i give the green light, EVERYONE will be available (yes goalies and yes the most handsome man in sports too).

ill know for sure what the plan is probably by saturday, but i might as well start listening now so let me have it.

note: would be looking for young NHLers with lots of upside as well as 1st round picks.

prospects don't interest me unless they are top flight and likely to play next year or sooner.

[anton]

would probably keep shattenkirk, but thats it.

[Shep]

lol you're 5th in the conference.

[anton]

a lot of good that does me

[Shep]

4 weeks in..

[anton]

if you think my plan is to tank the season you're wrong

[Shep]

I knw

[anton]

how was your day?

[Nick]

how'd you blow up go last year?

[anton]

i have a significantly better team now then i did then, why do you ask?

[anton]

good introductory talks on kulemin and staal so far.

still gonna wait this out a couple days. i had a decent night and might hang with shep afterall.

[Shoalzie]

What is with everyone wanting blow up their team and/or tank? Are we going to see a team trying to tank somehow end up in the playoffs?

Anton, you've got a good team...have patience. There are probably more than a few of us that would trade spots with you right now.

[anton]

im not tanking. already said that.

im fully capable of tearing down my team and building it back stronger. i've done it already once with much worse pieces than i have now.

some people are content to sit back and wait for improvement (kyle, hong) and some are pro-active. i like to be pro-active.

So is this how only 4 teams end up "competing" by mid season?... So bullshit

No. Give him a bit more credit than that. Dude knows his shit. He is playing on the phrase "blow it up" to garnish interest. He is not happy with his valuable players that are under performing and wants a change. His team will still be a top team in the West after this so called blow up if he does proceed. Trust me. People need to realize that we have a group of 30 guys that before BBKL thought they were gods gift to fantasy hockey. Myself included. We are all competing against ourselves in here. People need to look through the haze and understand the hidden agenda's. Win, increase player value, flip, etc...

This is the best speech I've ever heard in the history of BBKL.
