you could pm someone here or just offer someone a trade. I usually will counter if I don't like the trade proposed to me. Already saw in practice your approach. However, I declined. Not going to say goodbye to Pasta at this stage. Bruins have played very little so far. I'm sure he'll get me a ton of points. I've found 1 for 1 usually ends up being a one sided affair. a mix of guys going each way is usually a more even trade. also, most trades I've made take a few go arounds before the parties settle on something that works for both, just like in any other haggling situation. ie, start high and work towards the middle.

Of course. The city of Toronta fucks me over. We took the subway to the hall of fame from Vaughn where we were staying for my sons hockey tourney. It’s a 45 min ride. There’s no internet down there. So I set up all my picks in order. Somehow I got gawd damn Kucherov. I had McDavid, Draisaitl, Mathews and a couple others selected before him. My internet goes out and I get stuck with fuckin Kucherov who’s probably out for the year now with a “groin” issue. They just announced he probably needs surgery. I never would ever have taken him 2nd overall. Ever. There goes my year a week into this.
How I got Kucherov is unreal. I’m not sure I ever selected him either. Just crazy how this thing works. I wish it was just me that’s doing this wrong but I was sitting with a couple buddies who are on the same app and they had a draft the day before. And I clicked on the guys I wanted first, and it went McDavid, Draisaitl, Mathews, Marner and Pastrnak before him. Too bad we can’t get points for fighting. At least I could grab a couple fighters and Hope for the best!!!

I've got him in one league (wish I would've passed now) but I avoided him otherwise... you can still field a good team without him, though. guess we will get to see another loaded TB team now next April/May. I'm sure he'll be nice and recovered for the playoffs...

Even though he’ll be ready by Xmas, he’ll sit out and come back ready for May 2. I hope the league watches him a little closer this year. And if in violation of the cap, they should hammer them!!!

This week will be easy if Mike keeps Grubauer in net! About time I catch a break. It sucks “Duey” when your tendy is -7. I had that and worse last week. I believe I lost 15.5 points from Fleury alone.
Keep it up Grubauer, my former Spitfire!!!

I never picked him. The computer gave him to me. I’m the only one ever to have Kucherov with the 2nd overall. Just brutal. Now he’s more than likely done for the year. So I basically picked 15th. Just brutal!!!

I'm sure you would not be that outraged if you picked 7th or 8th because Kucherov would not be available at that time. So would be out of availability McDavid, MacKinnon, Draisaitl and Vasilevskyi. Look at vadarx's team. He picked goalies with his first two picks and surely is a big candidate to win the toilet trophy again. Season is long and there is still room what to play for. I was picking for instance 8th and 9th so the first tier players were already gone. Have to say, was quite difficult to choose someone. Took Barkov and Pastrnak. Both are top notch players. But may have down years or whatever. So may other players have great years in front of them. We are only 8 managers so there is plenty of quality players still available. Heads up. It is what it is.

Barkov and Pasta are both pretty damn solid, tho. only one person gets McDavid... every other player is a tier below, imo... I'd like to also point out that the current #1 goalie is...Mike Smith, my final pick of the draft... lol... so, ya know, longggg season ahead of us boys!

I’m not even that competitive anymore. I just hate being Fuuuuked over. Last year. I’d set my roster, then when it was game time, it would say 4 guys on the bench. At first I though it was just me. I forgot. But then even GT chimed in and was checking out my roster when I was heads up against him, and even he said at noon our time, my roster was set. Then later that night 4 guys were on the bench for some reason. It happened like 5-6 times last year. It’s also my fault that we had a tourney on the day of the draft. We went to the hall of fame and the subway in Toronta has no internet. We started at noon EST. We hopped on the subway at 11:46 It was a 45 min ride. So I missed a solid 1/2 of drafting…… the most crucial. Anyways, it’s all for fun. When I lose. I will meet up with you fine folk and buy everyone a couple rounds at a Hawks game. Us Canadians can finally cross the border on Nov 8 I believe, which is my moms bday, so I’ll miss the first crossing, but make it to some NHL games!!!

Has Duey Duey checked out already? He keeps the same lineup all the time whether or not the guys are playing. I would have really liked to work out a trade with him for McAvoy.
