You are not the problem. Nobody would ask you to leave over this.

Second this. We've all made suspect trades - this may take the cake wrt to this league since I've joined... but nonetheless, you're entitled tto your own opinion and valuation. Wish I made a move similar to this with Nolan Patrick when I had the chance but I was too stubborn.
In the future, if you want a second opinion on valuations, always happy to comment.

I also agree with this statement. Why would anyone want Booboo to leave over a horrendous deal? I do think having we should implement a voting system once a deal gets more then two vetoes from their peers. Once that happens then we have a time frame like 48 hours to vote on such deals. The majority wins once the 48 hours have passed. Just a suggestion!!

Ridiculous I'll quit if we start with this garbage

http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?t=12481

The deal was done post-draft in 2015 so the pick I give up was my 2017 1st. A tremendous gamble at the time...but like Booboo...I needed a goalie and had to choke the healthy price tag. The crazy thing is that pick eventually becomes the #2 overall but that's in the Hischier-Nolan Patrick draft. I don't want to say I dodged a bullet since Patrick's career never reached it's peak potential but it easily could've backfired in a big way. I made that trade hoping I wouldn't be in a position to finish that high in the draft order two seasons later.

Oddly enough, Luukkonen was selected in the 2017 late in the 1st round by Mike (TOR)...to bring this full-circle.

The Bryzgalov deal I made was also referenced in that thread...the two picks involved there eventually became Nikita Scherbak and Jack Roslovic. Bryzgalov was very close to the end of his NHL career so I didn't get a lot of return in that exchange.

Why am I bringing this up, spending a lot on a goalie...while not a popular choice...is something that has happened in the past. I was much more comfortable giving up what I gave up to get Cam Talbot recently compared to previous goalie buying experiences. Having to trade for a goalie is my least favorite thing to do in this league. If I ever find a stable starter, I'm not letting them go.

HandsomeMike was refusing to trade his pick at #1 to Steve and was set on taking Nolan Patrick. You would have ended up at #2 with Nico Hischier. I traded #2 to Steve for Barkov. Hischier has turned out to be a good bbkler.

Who would have thought Mike Smith would still be in the league 8 years later!

I also ended up "winning" the 3rd spot in the lottery with my own ana 1st that was #11 that year, I believe. But I missed gp by 1 or 2 skater gp and thus didn't get to have #2 and #3 picks. I was planning on taking Elias Petterson with the #3 pick. Ended up getting Makar at #10. I prefer Makar so sometimes things work out for the best.

wtf?

The 25-year-old Luukkonen has taken hold of Buffalo’s starting job despite lofty preseason expectations surrounding rookie goalie Devon Levi, who’s currently playing for Rochester in the American Hockey League. Levi...had mixed results in 20 NHL games this season, going 9-7-2 with an .891 SV%.

Goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, fresh off his fifth shutout of the season (tied for third in NHL), ranks among the NHL’s top 10 in both high-danger save percentage (.835; sixth) and mid-range SV% (.910; tied for seventh). Since Dec. 30, “UPL” is 16-8-1 (tied for third in wins over span) with a .931 save percentage (tied for NHL’s best) and four shutouts (most in League) in 25 games.
