PIT-ATL

[Lee]

I'm not looking to add peoples spare parts to become an 8th place team I don't expect to be in the playoffs in the next couple of years.

[Mash]

call me crazy but i would even go as far as to say frank is one of the candidates for GM of the Year. if tampa/nyi can even get close to what frank has done it would be a HUGE win.

Coyotes - dead last to playoffs...you heard it hear first

[Topher]

All this talk about what frank has done I think Mashley has done a pretty good job also there is another candidate for you

[Nick]

GM of the year is based on results, not speculation.


Let's see how the season & playoffs pan-out.

[kyuss]

i think the exact team a GM inherited should be considered closely when making that call (in the eventuality of legit candidates among new GMs)..

i mean, i got a shitty team, but i think it was not as crappy as the ones Lee and Nighthock inherited.. turning around a bad team in 1 season under our rules can be very difficult or even basically impossible if that team was obscene instead of just shitty, lol.

I was not around yet when Frank entered the league, so i have no idea about his specific case.

[Robin Hood]

i agree topher. my candidates:

Mashley
Frank
Mike (his job in terms of collecting 1sts has been PHENOMENAL)

Kareem & I both missed the playoffs last year.... Shook was a freebie exit in the playoffs, & the penguins were not regarded as a power house until Shiv did his thing, these all count.


But regarding the bare-bone-rebuilders, talk is free mother fuckers, need to see results if you want any hardware.

[Topher]

I agree Facey I only brought Mashley up because they are talking about Franks team and I think Mash has done a good job on paper as you said it comes down to results

[The BBKL Insider]

I think most of us understand how to play this game now....

we've weeded out the shit and added some nice GMs


Like Nick said, we gotta stop talkin' and play out the 2010-11 season before we get to cocky

I agree buddy, but I'm the last one to be cocky.

[Nick]

Is that sarcasm?

[fedro91]

Is that sarcasm?

it's not since I'm not cocky at all. I never been cocky but simply good at what I do.

[Nick]

Right.

[armandtanzarian]

Lol, this league is hilarious. It is full of very "good at what they do" people. Love it.

[Tony]

NYI not making the playoffs this year - you heard it here first!

[Lee]

Play-offs? We're talking about.. playoffs? I'll be lucky to win a series

Let me say one thing...i could finish dead last again and I'll still be the cockiest motha fucka on the fourms...its kinda like in my character to do so..way too much fun not to be.

PS - Frank may or may not be just as cocky as me, however his level of COCKiness is for a completely different reason.

[Shep]

I am shit at everything.
