daveL (Eskimos): I didn't buy your flimsy excuses about not having a single roster move to make in 9 weeks. Ban Edit Feb 27, 2016 at 12:50pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Daniel Sprong is evidence enough of your disappearance. Feb 27, 2016 at 12:51pm x
daveL (Eskimos): "To the contrary, in short order I typically build championship teams that remain viable year over year." Feb 27, 2016 at 12:53pm x
daveL (Eskimos): We seem to have a lot of people saying this and then walking out the door within 6 months
Feb 27, 2016 at 12:53pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Djugardens doesn't have anyone in the minors to promote...so yeah, he doesn't really have any roster moves to make. Feb 27, 2016 at 1:51pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Part of the reason I'd like to see the waiver draft split up, and do a round mid year. Would help for stuff like that. Feb 27, 2016 at 1:52pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Inaccurate, he had 6 weeks before the trade deadline to get a fill in F. Feb 27, 2016 at 2:42pm x
daveL (Eskimos): I also thought we were going to be relatively strict with teams not doing enough to ice a reasonable roster for those at the bottom to avoid any perception of tanking. Feb 27, 2016 at 2:44pm * x
daveL (Eskimos): Also Pulock has played 0 games, Folin was gone to the AHL for 10 weeks. He had moves to make since as far back as Oct. Feb 27, 2016 at 3:06pm x
Eric: Well good to be back
crazy trades today Feb 27, 2016 at 6:54pm x
Eric: Schultz for 50% retained gets a 3rd. I like that. Thought Purcell would get more than a 17' 3rd Feb 27, 2016 at 6:55pm x
Eric: Sorry to see Riemer get traded for pennies on the dollar. I think he can be a real good 1B. Elliott type. Feb 27, 2016 at 6:56pm x
Djurgardens: Any trade would have been immaterial. Flimsy excuses? Which ones? Daniel Sprong? Really!? What about Brossoit's lone start. Flimsy excuse, again? What material difference would any moves available to that roster would have made a difference? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:44pm x
Djurgardens: Perhaps your confirmation bias (daveL) is that the format doesn't incentivize activity? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:45pm x
Djurgardens: "We seem to have a lot of people saying this and then walking out the door within 6 months." ... Then maybe you should amend your model and provide for the same latitude most leagues provide. It's a hunch that if you increase means of participation... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:47pm x
Djurgardens: ...that participation will increase. Feb 27, 2016 at 7:47pm x
Djurgardens: Note: I had ZERO messages in my Inbox. Infer then that there was ZERO interest in Djurgardens assets, Is the disinterest of other GMs also a "flimsy excuse" on top of negligible add/drop movement during the regular season? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:49pm x
Djurgardens: From the standpoint of GP, please, daveL, address, position by position which alternatives I had at my disposal? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:50pm x
Djurgardens: Name the F on the Djurgardens reserve roster that played more games than Sprong? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:51pm x
Djurgardens: Name the D in reserves that played more than Folin? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:51pm x
Djurgardens: Name the G that played more than Bishop and Vas on the club? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:51pm x
Djurgardens: So if in your world, playing non-existent assets (defined by GP) is the definition of active management, then again, this league is suited to other GMs. The fact of the matter is, you're simply casting dispersion because your model is being held... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:53pm x
Djurgardens: ...in question. To review: I made numerous repeat inroads towards trades. No response. In the entire time I've been here since I appeared less and less, not a SINGLE inquiry was made of Djurgardens. Not one position has been underserved in the GP cat... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:54pm x
Djurgardens: ...With all due respect, your lack of clarity and reflex to cast blame,makes it seem as though the secondary hobby in this hobby is harassment as sport. You have no reason, absolutely none, to question my industry. Any move to be made has been made. In... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:56pm x
Djurgardens: ...the other league that I referenced that you doubt, I picked out of the open pool of talent (per the norm in 90+% of fantasy leagues I've been in), players like John Klingberg, Sergei Bobrovsky, Artemi Panarin...When allowed a completely free reign... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:58pm x
Djurgardens: ...to improve my club, I have done so via free agency. When you restrict such a vital aspect of asset management, you inhibit other possible means of improving a club. Acquiring sell high assets typically provokes interest in trade. This model... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:59pm x
Djurgardens: ...discourages it. Feb 27, 2016 at 7:59pm x
Djurgardens: Every indication placed Pulock on a Tavares led PP as emerging soon. But like Staal's recent unexpected points surge, Pulock's extended AHL stint wasn't something anticipated. Severson on the other hand, performed as expected. In any event, you, daveL... Feb 27, 2016 at 8:01pm x
Djurgardens: ...have nothing to justify your assertions. I get you dislike departures and by extension, criticism of the model, but there seems a set of consistent criticisms your wilfully ignoring. Perhaps, daveL, it's not "them" the "lot of" that's wrong after all. Feb 27, 2016 at 8:04pm x
daveL (Eskimos): You were gone for 2+ months and left multiple open roster slots. Case closed. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:07pm x
daveL (Eskimos): There's been dozens of trades, I made several very small scale deals myself to patch holes. Try harder in your next league. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:08pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Glad you're making up for lost time though Feb 27, 2016 at 10:10pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Look at Richmond, his assets were far worse than yours and he was relentless trying to get futures. He made numerous trade block posts and was active in the shoutbox as well. You? Nada. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:15pm x
daveL (Eskimos): And again, I haven't said a single word about you. I asked if someone was running your team since you were gone since before Christmas. Your first argument was that you went on multiple trips and forgot to post in the Away Notice thread. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:17pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Then your argument morphed into your team had no moves to make. I simply pointed out that a) that was not true and b) even if it were true, auto-piloting your team isn't your sole obligation to the league. Check the rules, there's requirements for log-ins. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:18pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Anything else you said is immaterial. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:20pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Even if he was here every day, it wouldn't have changed his line up. His team has less NHL'ers than active spots. So he has iced the best team he has every week. And he's drafted extremely well. I could name teams that have NOT dressed an optimal... Feb 28, 2016 at 9:42am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): line up, but I won't. Just to say, there are worse offenders in terms of not setting lines. Feb 28, 2016 at 9:42am x
daveL (Eskimos): I agree, with his lineup as constituted in October, what he's put out is the best he can do. That's not my issue at all. My issue is that he literally went away and didn't show up until I mentioned it. He also made zero attempt to improve his roster. Feb 28, 2016 at 10:21am x
daveL (Eskimos): Also, we had agreed pretty unanimously IIRC that teams would be required to try to ice competitive rosters. Otherwise, if I were Richmond I would have sold every NHLer on my team for futures and lost 17-0 each week for 2 years. Feb 28, 2016 at 10:23am x
daveL (Eskimos): The reason I care is because in my experience, fantasy sports leagues die quickly when rules are selectively or passively enforced. Feb 28, 2016 at 10:26am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): You have a point. I don't mean to jump all over you. It's just we are already down....what, 3 or 4 teams? And Djurgardens has shown via moves he has made that he knows his stuff. The lack of a WW can make it very difficult to ice a full team. Feb 28, 2016 at 6:53pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): And making trades, just to put a body in your line up, isn't always that idea either. Feb 28, 2016 at 6:54pm x
daveL (Eskimos): He already said he was quitting a couple days ago. He did have a nice draft, but you can't draft, do nothing for 8 months, then draft again. We need more from everyone than that. Feb 28, 2016 at 7:08pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Richmond traded me Gudbranson to get a goalie (+ other assets) because he was following the rules against teams tanking. I'm sticking up for him and LIF who did all they could to get futures and still try to keep competitive week-to-week. Feb 28, 2016 at 7:09pm x
daveL (Eskimos): I know you have the best interests of the league at heart, nothing personal. I just strongly disagree with free-loading. Feb 28, 2016 at 7:11pm x
Djurgardens: daveL: My "argument" wasn't absence. The crux of the matter isn Feb 28, 2016 at 10:47pm x
Djurgardens: ...isn't my absence for a few months. Moreover my "argument" was a response to unfounded characterization. Your assertion that there was any negligence is factually incorrect. You can't charge negligence on the shoulders of Sprong while neglecting... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:49pm x
Djurgardens: ...to account for his superior GP to all other options. You also can't (if integrity is of any actual concern to you) ignore the heart of your accusations while the facts of my largely prospects bench disputes your claim. You not responding specifically... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:50pm x
Djurgardens: ...to the GP question at position demonstrates you're not actually interested in the actual running of the club, you're interested in the appearance of maintenance. Point made repeatedly is, whether here or not, there wasn't a SINGLE proposition by... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:51pm x
Djurgardens: ...another GM. Let me repeat this for your consideration, daveL, the rest of this indefatigable league didn't think a single asset from Djurgardens was worth kicking tires on. Excuse me...I tell a lie...Cody, through GChat, on a number of occasions... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:53pm x
Djurgardens: ...inquired about Bishop/Vas. Not another GM did. Am I also responsible for the empty Inbox? Is it your position that I'm responsible for other GMs perpetual avoidance of Djurgardens assets? I repeatedly sought avenues to trade. There's a point... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:55pm x
Djurgardens: ...where industry turns into harassment. Through any lens, your accusations, especially the deformed emphasis on attendance in spite of indistinguishable production, are empty. At this point, you're simply mudslinging and ignoring facts. Feb 28, 2016 at 10:57pm x
Djurgardens: I can't conform another GM to trade with me let alone trade assets that would up my GP. I can't repeat same said requests to same GMs and hope for different results. I'm not going to mortgage the talent I feel exists on the prospect roster... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:59pm x
Djurgardens: ...the Joel Ward and Jason Chimeras of the league. There's an indisputable limbo that exists by virtue of the league's format. It may be my subjective preference, but like your inability to actually account on the stats side of your criticism, you can't... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:01pm x
Djurgardens: ...can't prove negligence via your preferences. The standard you're applying to my participation isn't something you provide for yourself...You are after all only in 6th, aren't you? Feb 28, 2016 at 11:03pm x
Djurgardens: Shouldn't you be in 1st? Shouldn't you have moved some assets to improve upon your C position? Is it a responsible GM that rides Mike Fisher and Nick Cousins when so many clearly better options exist? It's opportunism at the expense of reason for you... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:06pm x
Djurgardens: "You were gone for 2+ months and left multiple roster spots open. Case closed." If facts and thinking don't matter, sure, daveL...<claps> "case closed", sport. But you can't prove that any solicitation offered by me would have resulted in... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:08pm x
Djurgardens: ...a different outcome. You can't prove your assertion that I neglected position from the roster present. In GP, it disproves your point. You're also ignoring a fairly damning indictment on league participation: Not a single solicitation has been sent... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:10pm x
Djurgardens: ...IN MONTHS to Djurgardens. And as for the other league, I'm in, it's a 30 team league, populated by some very, very good GMs, and per the quote you chose to leave out, in THAT league, I moved a club from 24th-15th-3rd and sit in 1st at present. Again... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:12pm x
Djurgardens: ...You're simply choosing elements of the discussion that support your preferences rather than have facts define them. "Free loading" you say...Is there a reason in your preferred myopia that in this comparison of dedication that you with your deficient... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:14pm x
Djurgardens: ...C concerns also never ONCE contacted me to kick tires on Joe Thornton or Vermette? I mean, in a glass house expectation aren't you -- a veteran GM of this league and it's apparent champion of integrity -- obliged to example all things loyal and seek... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:15pm x
Djurgardens: ...by your standard, improvement at every position on your club? And yet <gasp> not a single message from you. Lord knows, that Brad Richardson, Mike Fisher tandem SCREAMS attention to asset management. Feb 28, 2016 at 11:17pm x
Djurgardens: And note bene, sport...leagues don't die with the slight testing of rules, they die because of cliques, mob mentality and assholes contriving conflict when none exists. Feb 28, 2016 at 11:20pm x
Djurgardens: From there, absence and apathy increase. When you note the "lot" that may have moved on, that should be a clue that all's not nearly as well as you would prefer. Preference, doesn't equate fact, daveL. More's the point, if I was truly compromising... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:22pm x
Djurgardens: ...the spirit of the league's rules, there's a person in charge to address that. I don't know if you're additionally tasked with that, but I know that rather than contact me personally, you did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to investigate what reasons may existed... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:23pm x
Djurgardens: ...to inform my absence. In short, you're an opportunism posing with the appearance of integrity when the matter demonstrates, you're just an opportunist waiting to point blame at every opportunity. THAT, sport, defeats the spirit of a league... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:24pm x
Djurgardens: Any other GM, could do what you've just done. Presume the worst, cast blame, deform fact into preference and call it an argument and case closed. None of which stands up under scrutiny. In short, you're much more part of the problem than you seem capable.. Feb 28, 2016 at 11:26pm x
Djurgardens: ...of realizing. Be part of the solution. Fix your team. Send personal queries regarding the demands of life's realities of the people who also happen to have -- in good spirit -- joined this league to participate in a spirit of sportsmanship... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:27pm x
Djurgardens: ...But as it stands, you're the worst kind of critic. And for the record...I have the option of staying. Feb 28, 2016 at 11:28pm x
daveL (Eskimos): All i can say is LOL Feb 29, 2016 at 8:41am x
daveL (Eskimos): Please stay, I welcome your actual participation. Feb 29, 2016 at 8:41am x
daveL (Eskimos): You're creating fiction in your mind. Let's enjoy some hockey, glad you're back! Feb 29, 2016 at 8:51am x
daveL (Eskimos): As for my actual team management, I made as many or more deals than anyone since the start of the season. Your quoting my use of Fisher and Cousins while ignoring having Steen and Little on IR shows the depth of your arguments. Feb 29, 2016 at 8:52am * x
daveL (Eskimos): Also, you seem to have some issues with the league structure and format. I had no say in that. You should use the Suggestion Box, you may have some ideas that the league could benefit from. Feb 29, 2016 at 8:56am x
daveL (Eskimos): I just noticed you made fun of Brad Richardson. He's a top 90 C for $2.1 million. That's great value FYI. I got him off the waiver wire 2 years ago. Of all the players to cite as attempted ridicule. Feb 29, 2016 at 9:17am x
daveL (Eskimos): He moves into the top 75 when you remove C eligible players who don't actually take faceoffs regularly. Feb 29, 2016 at 9:22am x
TheNudge (Portland): Is Eric back ? Feb 29, 2016 at 10:03am x
Eric: Frank whats up Feb 29, 2016 at 10:05am x
Eric: I saw you traded Simmonds wow Feb 29, 2016 at 10:07am x
TheNudge (Portland): I know Feb 29, 2016 at 10:31am x
TheNudge (Portland): I may regret making that deal Feb 29, 2016 at 10:31am x
TheNudge (Portland): I still got Cecil , petan and a 1st for Simmons, oleksiak Feb 29, 2016 at 10:32am x
Eric: BRyan Murray loves Cecil he plays him with Phaneuf Feb 29, 2016 at 11:55am x
TheNudge (Portland): Cecil Feb 29, 2016 at 1:49pm x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! Feb 29, 2016 at 1:49pm x
TheNudge (Portland): I felt I took the correct risk reward Feb 29, 2016 at 2:24pm x
TheNudge (Portland): IS Eric getting a team ? Feb 29, 2016 at 2:31pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Hopefully Feb 29, 2016 at 3:12pm x
TheNudge (Portland): Why hopefully ? Have you miss Eric ? Feb 29, 2016 at 4:00pm x
TheNudge (Portland): Because I sure did!! I miss does fight we had time to time!! Feb 29, 2016 at 4:01pm x
TheNudge (Portland): he always kept me on my toes Feb 29, 2016 at 4:01pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): My quick count is that 7 teams have players on IR spots that are no longer eligible for that position. Feb 29, 2016 at 4:08pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Some have been playing for several weeks. Feb 29, 2016 at 4:09pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Presumably this ought to be cleaned up before the playoffs? Feb 29, 2016 at 4:09pm x
Eric: Why Jim Nill pay so much for Kris Russell?? Feb 29, 2016 at 4:09pm x
Eric: What a waste. Also fire Jim Benning Feb 29, 2016 at 4:10pm x
Eric: Vrbata + Hamhuis no question needed to be shipped out to help that franchise. Nucks have zero chance in the west playoffs (even if they get in) Feb 29, 2016 at 4:11pm x
Golden Seals: Allen, Beagle, Lehner, Mccabe, Foligno shouldn't be on IR, a couple have been active for a long time Feb 29, 2016 at 4:53pm x
Golden Seals: to name names Feb 29, 2016 at 4:54pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Those pesky rules. Feb 29, 2016 at 5:34pm x
Golden Seals: that are rarely followed Feb 29, 2016 at 5:45pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Seals, if we meet in round 1, should we bet a Bus Stop poutine Feb 29, 2016 at 5:48pm x
Golden Seals: i hope to meet in the later rounds Feb 29, 2016 at 6:10pm x
TheNudge (Portland): to be fair in my other league I have Brendan Smith on IR for months Feb 29, 2016 at 6:42pm x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! Feb 29, 2016 at 6:42pm x
TheNudge (Portland): I took advantage of the situation Feb 29, 2016 at 6:42pm x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! Feb 29, 2016 at 6:42pm x
TheNudge (Portland): I know that's terrible but I've never done it in here since I'm co commish Feb 29, 2016 at 6:43pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I don't think we should let teams get away with it in the playoffs. as it is, some teams already have an advantage of an extra roster spot Feb 29, 2016 at 8:49pm x
TheNudge (Portland): I'll take a look of it Sabre Feb 29, 2016 at 8:50pm x
TheNudge (Portland): and talk with Dave Feb 29, 2016 at 8:50pm x
TheNudge (Portland): send me a pm Sabre Feb 29, 2016 at 8:50pm x
TheNudge (Portland): and you can include Dave and we can talk it out there Feb 29, 2016 at 8:51pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): seals has already highlighted a number of examples frank! some of those guys have been off ir for ages Feb 29, 2016 at 8:59pm x
Golden Seals: Can't really enforce that rule in a waiver free playoff Feb 29, 2016 at 10:48pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): If a team is icing an illegal roster in the playoffs, as they are right now, I might differ on that. Mar 1, 2016 at 5:22am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): The rules are vague; just says the roster is illegal. I don't think a team should win a playoff matchup if their roster is not legal. It's not that hard to make an adjustment to make a roster compliant. Mar 1, 2016 at 5:23am x
TheNudge (Portland): I could see us giving anyone a week after is taking off IR but anything longer then that the team should be penalize Mar 1, 2016 at 7:18am x
TheNudge (Portland): The first week would be to take out his most productive player for that week and not count his stats + a late pick Mar 1, 2016 at 7:19am x
TheNudge (Portland): 2nd week after the 1 st week of grace meaning the 3rd week then would be his top 2 player and a 2nd then the next week would be 3 players and getting the boot and possible getting his lottery ball taken out Mar 1, 2016 at 7:22am x
TheNudge (Portland): Those are simply my view how I would handle it Mar 1, 2016 at 7:22am x
daveL (Eskimos): Rigidity, I like it! Mar 1, 2016 at 9:43am x
TheNudge (Portland): Me rigid never !! Mar 1, 2016 at 10:43am x
Dave (PLK): Reminder...this is last week of regular season. Playoffs begin next Monday Mar 1, 2016 at 11:36am x
TheNudge (Portland): oh damn Mar 1, 2016 at 5:47pm x
TheNudge (Portland): nice Mar 1, 2016 at 5:47pm x
Dave (PLK): I'm happy to announce that Eric is back and will be taking over the Denton Majors Mar 2, 2016 at 9:26am x
Dave (PLK): (I knew he wouldn't be able to stay away long ) Mar 2, 2016 at 9:27am x
TheNudge (Portland): I m very happy to have him back Mar 2, 2016 at 9:37am x
TheNudge (Portland): when I get home I'll write a quote of the day in his behalf !! Mar 2, 2016 at 9:39am x
TheNudge (Portland): Can we start trading now Dave !! Mar 2, 2016 at 9:39am x
Golden Seals: welcome back Eric Mar 2, 2016 at 11:01am x
TheNudge (Portland): I just wrote two quotes in honor of my good friend Eric Mar 2, 2016 at 3:32pm x
TheNudge (Portland): if you want to take a peek please go ahead !! Mar 2, 2016 at 3:32pm x
Eric: Thanks for the welcome lol Mar 2, 2016 at 4:01pm x
Eric: Very thoughtful of you Frank Mar 2, 2016 at 4:11pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Welcome back man. Mar 2, 2016 at 7:03pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I think we should assign Frank to be Eric's trading buddy Mar 4, 2016 at 4:29pm x
daveL (Eskimos):
Mar 4, 2016 at 5:06pm x
Eric: Frank off Mar 4, 2016 at 5:22pm x
TheNudge (Portland): Lol!! Why me and you frank off !!
? Mar 4, 2016 at 6:02pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Did we decide that the finals this year will be 2 lock in periods instead of one? (That option hasn't been set up yet, but can easily be changed). Mar 5, 2016 at 7:34am x
daveL (Eskimos): It's in the rules as such. Mar 5, 2016 at 10:37am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Ok. Maybe Dave can change that setting, right now the finals are locked for two weeks I believe. Mar 6, 2016 at 11:27am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I remember in year 1 that had a majorly negative impact on finals Mar 6, 2016 at 11:27am x
Eric: i thought it was positive Mar 6, 2016 at 9:06pm x
Tbone (Kelowna): Good race for the President's trophy this year, in doubt right to the end - good job Vancouver for pushing me right to my limits Mar 7, 2016 at 12:32am x
Tbone (Kelowna): Now on to the playoffs - going to be a tough 1st round match-up for me against Helsinki this year, very reminiscent of the first season, hopefully plays out a bit differently Mar 7, 2016 at 12:33am * x
daveL (Eskimos): Losing in the 1st round again is going to suck
Mar 7, 2016 at 7:48am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I've been knocked out two years in a row by Quebec. Three times a charm? Mar 7, 2016 at 7:59am x
daveL (Eskimos): I'm glad I looked at your transactions, almost forgot about no waivers during the playoffs. Mar 7, 2016 at 8:01am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Yeah, I made a few playoff adjustments Mar 7, 2016 at 8:25am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Benching Parise and Hoffman. Seems insane but these are our rules. Mar 7, 2016 at 8:25am * x
Eric: Schnieder's out 2 weeks just in time for playoffs haha Mar 7, 2016 at 8:50am x
Eric: You know you have a good team when you can say I'm benching Pairse and Hoffman wow Mar 7, 2016 at 8:51am x
Dave (PLK): Don't forget...110 maximum GP for goalies, including playoffs. Mar 7, 2016 at 8:54am x
Dave (PLK): no excuses if you go over. Mar 7, 2016 at 8:54am x

Eric: who is close to going over Goalie GP? Mar 7, 2016 at 9:54am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Parise only has 2GP this week, so yeah, taking my chances with Eric Staal instead. Mar 7, 2016 at 10:46am x
Dave (PLK): rule changes in effect re upcoming draft. Mar 8, 2016 at 3:15pm x
Golden Seals: W22 had OTT tie the record for wins with 5, no other records broken yesterday at 11:09am x

Dave (PLK): good to see everyone is logging in. everyone has been on the past 2 weeks. (Matt's still in training but still with us) 23 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I saw Matt on fantrax on monday 21 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): lots of close races, and lead changes from day to day 16 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Damn I'm happy Varlamov is back !! 2 start and 2W with a Sho- 1 GA on 75 shots - having a save % of 98.7% and 0.50 GAA 10 hours ago x
daveL (Eskimos): I'm not lol 5 hours ago x
Eric: lol IFFHL playoffs. The place where goalies who crap the bed for 4 months become legends 5 hours ago * x
Eric: Varlamov reminds of when I won this league with Bryz + Harding + Eliis lol! 5 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I got knocked out of the playoffs last year by Quebec, he didn't even have a goalie start. 3 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I lost every single skater category to him. 3 hours ago x
Eric: wow unreal. I thought we had a goalie GP minimun per week? 3 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): We don't 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): We only have a max per year 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Also Eric, that's not cool lowering Varlamov value 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): If you are surprise of his stellar play in recent play then you must be blind 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Varlamov as always been a good goalie but never a consistent one 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): that's the different between Varlamov and Schneider 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Schneider is consistent but both as the same skill set 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Also let me be happy instead of trying to step on my glory and comparing Varlamov to Bryzgalov yuk!! 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): And Dubnyk is a odd one 2 hours ago x
Eric: lol be happy. I was happy to when I won with BRyzgalov 2 hours ago x
Eric: I dont have the power to lower value lol. I just look at Varly stats and his value lower himself 2 hours ago x
Eric: 2.68GAA .916SV% for Varly this year and Bryz was 2.53GAA .900SV% when I won 2 hours ago x
Eric: So my point is you don't have to win IFFHL playoffs with a top 5 goalie. Many ways to win 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I all ready know that Eric 2 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Winning with Howard and Mike Smith last year is exactly that 2 hours ago * x
TheNudge (Portland): Either way I'm taking it one week at a time or even one day at a time about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I know for a fact you can't win it all in one night but you can lose it all in one night!! about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I just hope my team keep it up about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I still need a lot of help since Turris,Brodie,Hansen and Eller are all injured which hurt me alot about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): With Brodie getting injured recently might be the dagger to the heart about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): it just sucks having two inactive player on my line up about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): about an hour ago x
Eric: for me it depends what happens to Kinkaid in Califorina. Two games to cover for Schnieder during injury. about an hour ago x
Eric: So far I got good stats from skaters against canucks about an hour ago x
daveL (Eskimos): lol Frank you don't get to complain about injuries, you're benefiting from like 9 of my guys being out lol
daveL (Eskimos): Daniel Sprong is evidence enough of your disappearance. Feb 27, 2016 at 12:51pm x
daveL (Eskimos): "To the contrary, in short order I typically build championship teams that remain viable year over year." Feb 27, 2016 at 12:53pm x
daveL (Eskimos): We seem to have a lot of people saying this and then walking out the door within 6 months
Feb 27, 2016 at 12:53pm xalsrevenge (Sabres GM): Djugardens doesn't have anyone in the minors to promote...so yeah, he doesn't really have any roster moves to make. Feb 27, 2016 at 1:51pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Part of the reason I'd like to see the waiver draft split up, and do a round mid year. Would help for stuff like that. Feb 27, 2016 at 1:52pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Inaccurate, he had 6 weeks before the trade deadline to get a fill in F. Feb 27, 2016 at 2:42pm x
daveL (Eskimos): I also thought we were going to be relatively strict with teams not doing enough to ice a reasonable roster for those at the bottom to avoid any perception of tanking. Feb 27, 2016 at 2:44pm * x
daveL (Eskimos): Also Pulock has played 0 games, Folin was gone to the AHL for 10 weeks. He had moves to make since as far back as Oct. Feb 27, 2016 at 3:06pm x
Eric: Well good to be back
crazy trades today Feb 27, 2016 at 6:54pm xEric: Schultz for 50% retained gets a 3rd. I like that. Thought Purcell would get more than a 17' 3rd Feb 27, 2016 at 6:55pm x
Eric: Sorry to see Riemer get traded for pennies on the dollar. I think he can be a real good 1B. Elliott type. Feb 27, 2016 at 6:56pm x
Djurgardens: Any trade would have been immaterial. Flimsy excuses? Which ones? Daniel Sprong? Really!? What about Brossoit's lone start. Flimsy excuse, again? What material difference would any moves available to that roster would have made a difference? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:44pm x
Djurgardens: Perhaps your confirmation bias (daveL) is that the format doesn't incentivize activity? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:45pm x
Djurgardens: "We seem to have a lot of people saying this and then walking out the door within 6 months." ... Then maybe you should amend your model and provide for the same latitude most leagues provide. It's a hunch that if you increase means of participation... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:47pm x
Djurgardens: ...that participation will increase. Feb 27, 2016 at 7:47pm x
Djurgardens: Note: I had ZERO messages in my Inbox. Infer then that there was ZERO interest in Djurgardens assets, Is the disinterest of other GMs also a "flimsy excuse" on top of negligible add/drop movement during the regular season? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:49pm x
Djurgardens: From the standpoint of GP, please, daveL, address, position by position which alternatives I had at my disposal? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:50pm x
Djurgardens: Name the F on the Djurgardens reserve roster that played more games than Sprong? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:51pm x
Djurgardens: Name the D in reserves that played more than Folin? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:51pm x
Djurgardens: Name the G that played more than Bishop and Vas on the club? Feb 27, 2016 at 7:51pm x
Djurgardens: So if in your world, playing non-existent assets (defined by GP) is the definition of active management, then again, this league is suited to other GMs. The fact of the matter is, you're simply casting dispersion because your model is being held... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:53pm x
Djurgardens: ...in question. To review: I made numerous repeat inroads towards trades. No response. In the entire time I've been here since I appeared less and less, not a SINGLE inquiry was made of Djurgardens. Not one position has been underserved in the GP cat... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:54pm x
Djurgardens: ...With all due respect, your lack of clarity and reflex to cast blame,makes it seem as though the secondary hobby in this hobby is harassment as sport. You have no reason, absolutely none, to question my industry. Any move to be made has been made. In... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:56pm x
Djurgardens: ...the other league that I referenced that you doubt, I picked out of the open pool of talent (per the norm in 90+% of fantasy leagues I've been in), players like John Klingberg, Sergei Bobrovsky, Artemi Panarin...When allowed a completely free reign... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:58pm x
Djurgardens: ...to improve my club, I have done so via free agency. When you restrict such a vital aspect of asset management, you inhibit other possible means of improving a club. Acquiring sell high assets typically provokes interest in trade. This model... Feb 27, 2016 at 7:59pm x
Djurgardens: ...discourages it. Feb 27, 2016 at 7:59pm x
Djurgardens: Every indication placed Pulock on a Tavares led PP as emerging soon. But like Staal's recent unexpected points surge, Pulock's extended AHL stint wasn't something anticipated. Severson on the other hand, performed as expected. In any event, you, daveL... Feb 27, 2016 at 8:01pm x
Djurgardens: ...have nothing to justify your assertions. I get you dislike departures and by extension, criticism of the model, but there seems a set of consistent criticisms your wilfully ignoring. Perhaps, daveL, it's not "them" the "lot of" that's wrong after all. Feb 27, 2016 at 8:04pm x
daveL (Eskimos): You were gone for 2+ months and left multiple open roster slots. Case closed. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:07pm x
daveL (Eskimos): There's been dozens of trades, I made several very small scale deals myself to patch holes. Try harder in your next league. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:08pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Glad you're making up for lost time though
Feb 27, 2016 at 10:10pm xdaveL (Eskimos): Look at Richmond, his assets were far worse than yours and he was relentless trying to get futures. He made numerous trade block posts and was active in the shoutbox as well. You? Nada. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:15pm x
daveL (Eskimos): And again, I haven't said a single word about you. I asked if someone was running your team since you were gone since before Christmas. Your first argument was that you went on multiple trips and forgot to post in the Away Notice thread. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:17pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Then your argument morphed into your team had no moves to make. I simply pointed out that a) that was not true and b) even if it were true, auto-piloting your team isn't your sole obligation to the league. Check the rules, there's requirements for log-ins. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:18pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Anything else you said is immaterial. Feb 27, 2016 at 10:20pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Even if he was here every day, it wouldn't have changed his line up. His team has less NHL'ers than active spots. So he has iced the best team he has every week. And he's drafted extremely well. I could name teams that have NOT dressed an optimal... Feb 28, 2016 at 9:42am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): line up, but I won't. Just to say, there are worse offenders in terms of not setting lines. Feb 28, 2016 at 9:42am x
daveL (Eskimos): I agree, with his lineup as constituted in October, what he's put out is the best he can do. That's not my issue at all. My issue is that he literally went away and didn't show up until I mentioned it. He also made zero attempt to improve his roster. Feb 28, 2016 at 10:21am x
daveL (Eskimos): Also, we had agreed pretty unanimously IIRC that teams would be required to try to ice competitive rosters. Otherwise, if I were Richmond I would have sold every NHLer on my team for futures and lost 17-0 each week for 2 years. Feb 28, 2016 at 10:23am x
daveL (Eskimos): The reason I care is because in my experience, fantasy sports leagues die quickly when rules are selectively or passively enforced. Feb 28, 2016 at 10:26am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): You have a point. I don't mean to jump all over you. It's just we are already down....what, 3 or 4 teams? And Djurgardens has shown via moves he has made that he knows his stuff. The lack of a WW can make it very difficult to ice a full team. Feb 28, 2016 at 6:53pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): And making trades, just to put a body in your line up, isn't always that idea either. Feb 28, 2016 at 6:54pm x
daveL (Eskimos): He already said he was quitting a couple days ago. He did have a nice draft, but you can't draft, do nothing for 8 months, then draft again. We need more from everyone than that. Feb 28, 2016 at 7:08pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Richmond traded me Gudbranson to get a goalie (+ other assets) because he was following the rules against teams tanking. I'm sticking up for him and LIF who did all they could to get futures and still try to keep competitive week-to-week. Feb 28, 2016 at 7:09pm x
daveL (Eskimos): I know you have the best interests of the league at heart, nothing personal. I just strongly disagree with free-loading. Feb 28, 2016 at 7:11pm x
Djurgardens: daveL: My "argument" wasn't absence. The crux of the matter isn Feb 28, 2016 at 10:47pm x
Djurgardens: ...isn't my absence for a few months. Moreover my "argument" was a response to unfounded characterization. Your assertion that there was any negligence is factually incorrect. You can't charge negligence on the shoulders of Sprong while neglecting... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:49pm x
Djurgardens: ...to account for his superior GP to all other options. You also can't (if integrity is of any actual concern to you) ignore the heart of your accusations while the facts of my largely prospects bench disputes your claim. You not responding specifically... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:50pm x
Djurgardens: ...to the GP question at position demonstrates you're not actually interested in the actual running of the club, you're interested in the appearance of maintenance. Point made repeatedly is, whether here or not, there wasn't a SINGLE proposition by... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:51pm x
Djurgardens: ...another GM. Let me repeat this for your consideration, daveL, the rest of this indefatigable league didn't think a single asset from Djurgardens was worth kicking tires on. Excuse me...I tell a lie...Cody, through GChat, on a number of occasions... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:53pm x
Djurgardens: ...inquired about Bishop/Vas. Not another GM did. Am I also responsible for the empty Inbox? Is it your position that I'm responsible for other GMs perpetual avoidance of Djurgardens assets? I repeatedly sought avenues to trade. There's a point... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:55pm x
Djurgardens: ...where industry turns into harassment. Through any lens, your accusations, especially the deformed emphasis on attendance in spite of indistinguishable production, are empty. At this point, you're simply mudslinging and ignoring facts. Feb 28, 2016 at 10:57pm x
Djurgardens: I can't conform another GM to trade with me let alone trade assets that would up my GP. I can't repeat same said requests to same GMs and hope for different results. I'm not going to mortgage the talent I feel exists on the prospect roster... Feb 28, 2016 at 10:59pm x
Djurgardens: ...the Joel Ward and Jason Chimeras of the league. There's an indisputable limbo that exists by virtue of the league's format. It may be my subjective preference, but like your inability to actually account on the stats side of your criticism, you can't... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:01pm x
Djurgardens: ...can't prove negligence via your preferences. The standard you're applying to my participation isn't something you provide for yourself...You are after all only in 6th, aren't you? Feb 28, 2016 at 11:03pm x
Djurgardens: Shouldn't you be in 1st? Shouldn't you have moved some assets to improve upon your C position? Is it a responsible GM that rides Mike Fisher and Nick Cousins when so many clearly better options exist? It's opportunism at the expense of reason for you... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:06pm x
Djurgardens: "You were gone for 2+ months and left multiple roster spots open. Case closed." If facts and thinking don't matter, sure, daveL...<claps> "case closed", sport. But you can't prove that any solicitation offered by me would have resulted in... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:08pm x
Djurgardens: ...a different outcome. You can't prove your assertion that I neglected position from the roster present. In GP, it disproves your point. You're also ignoring a fairly damning indictment on league participation: Not a single solicitation has been sent... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:10pm x
Djurgardens: ...IN MONTHS to Djurgardens. And as for the other league, I'm in, it's a 30 team league, populated by some very, very good GMs, and per the quote you chose to leave out, in THAT league, I moved a club from 24th-15th-3rd and sit in 1st at present. Again... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:12pm x
Djurgardens: ...You're simply choosing elements of the discussion that support your preferences rather than have facts define them. "Free loading" you say...Is there a reason in your preferred myopia that in this comparison of dedication that you with your deficient... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:14pm x
Djurgardens: ...C concerns also never ONCE contacted me to kick tires on Joe Thornton or Vermette? I mean, in a glass house expectation aren't you -- a veteran GM of this league and it's apparent champion of integrity -- obliged to example all things loyal and seek... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:15pm x
Djurgardens: ...by your standard, improvement at every position on your club? And yet <gasp> not a single message from you. Lord knows, that Brad Richardson, Mike Fisher tandem SCREAMS attention to asset management. Feb 28, 2016 at 11:17pm x
Djurgardens: And note bene, sport...leagues don't die with the slight testing of rules, they die because of cliques, mob mentality and assholes contriving conflict when none exists. Feb 28, 2016 at 11:20pm x
Djurgardens: From there, absence and apathy increase. When you note the "lot" that may have moved on, that should be a clue that all's not nearly as well as you would prefer. Preference, doesn't equate fact, daveL. More's the point, if I was truly compromising... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:22pm x
Djurgardens: ...the spirit of the league's rules, there's a person in charge to address that. I don't know if you're additionally tasked with that, but I know that rather than contact me personally, you did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to investigate what reasons may existed... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:23pm x
Djurgardens: ...to inform my absence. In short, you're an opportunism posing with the appearance of integrity when the matter demonstrates, you're just an opportunist waiting to point blame at every opportunity. THAT, sport, defeats the spirit of a league... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:24pm x
Djurgardens: Any other GM, could do what you've just done. Presume the worst, cast blame, deform fact into preference and call it an argument and case closed. None of which stands up under scrutiny. In short, you're much more part of the problem than you seem capable.. Feb 28, 2016 at 11:26pm x
Djurgardens: ...of realizing. Be part of the solution. Fix your team. Send personal queries regarding the demands of life's realities of the people who also happen to have -- in good spirit -- joined this league to participate in a spirit of sportsmanship... Feb 28, 2016 at 11:27pm x
Djurgardens: ...But as it stands, you're the worst kind of critic. And for the record...I have the option of staying. Feb 28, 2016 at 11:28pm x
daveL (Eskimos): All i can say is LOL Feb 29, 2016 at 8:41am x
daveL (Eskimos): Please stay, I welcome your actual participation. Feb 29, 2016 at 8:41am x
daveL (Eskimos): You're creating fiction in your mind. Let's enjoy some hockey, glad you're back! Feb 29, 2016 at 8:51am x
daveL (Eskimos): As for my actual team management, I made as many or more deals than anyone since the start of the season. Your quoting my use of Fisher and Cousins while ignoring having Steen and Little on IR shows the depth of your arguments. Feb 29, 2016 at 8:52am * x
daveL (Eskimos): Also, you seem to have some issues with the league structure and format. I had no say in that. You should use the Suggestion Box, you may have some ideas that the league could benefit from. Feb 29, 2016 at 8:56am x
daveL (Eskimos): I just noticed you made fun of Brad Richardson. He's a top 90 C for $2.1 million. That's great value FYI. I got him off the waiver wire 2 years ago. Of all the players to cite as attempted ridicule. Feb 29, 2016 at 9:17am x
daveL (Eskimos): He moves into the top 75 when you remove C eligible players who don't actually take faceoffs regularly. Feb 29, 2016 at 9:22am x
TheNudge (Portland): Is Eric back ? Feb 29, 2016 at 10:03am x
Eric: Frank whats up Feb 29, 2016 at 10:05am x
Eric: I saw you traded Simmonds wow Feb 29, 2016 at 10:07am x
TheNudge (Portland): I know Feb 29, 2016 at 10:31am x
TheNudge (Portland): I may regret making that deal Feb 29, 2016 at 10:31am x
TheNudge (Portland): I still got Cecil , petan and a 1st for Simmons, oleksiak Feb 29, 2016 at 10:32am x
Eric: BRyan Murray loves Cecil he plays him with Phaneuf Feb 29, 2016 at 11:55am x
TheNudge (Portland): Cecil Feb 29, 2016 at 1:49pm x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! Feb 29, 2016 at 1:49pm x
TheNudge (Portland): I felt I took the correct risk reward Feb 29, 2016 at 2:24pm x
TheNudge (Portland): IS Eric getting a team ? Feb 29, 2016 at 2:31pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Hopefully Feb 29, 2016 at 3:12pm x
TheNudge (Portland): Why hopefully ? Have you miss Eric ? Feb 29, 2016 at 4:00pm x
TheNudge (Portland): Because I sure did!! I miss does fight we had time to time!! Feb 29, 2016 at 4:01pm x
TheNudge (Portland): he always kept me on my toes Feb 29, 2016 at 4:01pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): My quick count is that 7 teams have players on IR spots that are no longer eligible for that position. Feb 29, 2016 at 4:08pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Some have been playing for several weeks. Feb 29, 2016 at 4:09pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Presumably this ought to be cleaned up before the playoffs? Feb 29, 2016 at 4:09pm x
Eric: Why Jim Nill pay so much for Kris Russell?? Feb 29, 2016 at 4:09pm x
Eric: What a waste. Also fire Jim Benning Feb 29, 2016 at 4:10pm x
Eric: Vrbata + Hamhuis no question needed to be shipped out to help that franchise. Nucks have zero chance in the west playoffs (even if they get in) Feb 29, 2016 at 4:11pm x
Golden Seals: Allen, Beagle, Lehner, Mccabe, Foligno shouldn't be on IR, a couple have been active for a long time Feb 29, 2016 at 4:53pm x
Golden Seals: to name names
Feb 29, 2016 at 4:54pm xdaveL (Eskimos): Those pesky rules. Feb 29, 2016 at 5:34pm x
Golden Seals: that are rarely followed Feb 29, 2016 at 5:45pm x
daveL (Eskimos): Seals, if we meet in round 1, should we bet a Bus Stop poutine
Feb 29, 2016 at 5:48pm xGolden Seals: i hope to meet in the later rounds Feb 29, 2016 at 6:10pm x
TheNudge (Portland): to be fair in my other league I have Brendan Smith on IR for months Feb 29, 2016 at 6:42pm x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! Feb 29, 2016 at 6:42pm x
TheNudge (Portland): I took advantage of the situation Feb 29, 2016 at 6:42pm x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! Feb 29, 2016 at 6:42pm x
TheNudge (Portland): I know that's terrible but I've never done it in here since I'm co commish Feb 29, 2016 at 6:43pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I don't think we should let teams get away with it in the playoffs. as it is, some teams already have an advantage of an extra roster spot Feb 29, 2016 at 8:49pm x
TheNudge (Portland): I'll take a look of it Sabre Feb 29, 2016 at 8:50pm x
TheNudge (Portland): and talk with Dave Feb 29, 2016 at 8:50pm x
TheNudge (Portland): send me a pm Sabre Feb 29, 2016 at 8:50pm x
TheNudge (Portland): and you can include Dave and we can talk it out there Feb 29, 2016 at 8:51pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): seals has already highlighted a number of examples frank! some of those guys have been off ir for ages Feb 29, 2016 at 8:59pm x
Golden Seals: Can't really enforce that rule in a waiver free playoff Feb 29, 2016 at 10:48pm x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): If a team is icing an illegal roster in the playoffs, as they are right now, I might differ on that. Mar 1, 2016 at 5:22am x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): The rules are vague; just says the roster is illegal. I don't think a team should win a playoff matchup if their roster is not legal. It's not that hard to make an adjustment to make a roster compliant. Mar 1, 2016 at 5:23am x
TheNudge (Portland): I could see us giving anyone a week after is taking off IR but anything longer then that the team should be penalize Mar 1, 2016 at 7:18am x
TheNudge (Portland): The first week would be to take out his most productive player for that week and not count his stats + a late pick Mar 1, 2016 at 7:19am x
TheNudge (Portland): 2nd week after the 1 st week of grace meaning the 3rd week then would be his top 2 player and a 2nd then the next week would be 3 players and getting the boot and possible getting his lottery ball taken out Mar 1, 2016 at 7:22am x
TheNudge (Portland): Those are simply my view how I would handle it Mar 1, 2016 at 7:22am x
daveL (Eskimos): Rigidity, I like it!
Mar 1, 2016 at 9:43am xTheNudge (Portland): Me rigid never !! Mar 1, 2016 at 10:43am x
Dave (PLK): Reminder...this is last week of regular season. Playoffs begin next Monday Mar 1, 2016 at 11:36am x
TheNudge (Portland): oh damn Mar 1, 2016 at 5:47pm x
TheNudge (Portland): nice Mar 1, 2016 at 5:47pm x
