cody (Fargo): wohoo to only knowing who one ofthose guys are about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): err...two! about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): go me
about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Hey codym why bring up pass deal ? about an hour ago * x
cody (Fargo): to try to help new gms about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): I've seen those trades a million times about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): for every crazy stupid deal like that.....most lose.....every once in a while that player is ben bishop about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): usually even if the goalie pans he lasts like 3 years in the league and is over in euro about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): But there's no new gm in here about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): It is really really hard to supplant contracted goalies about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): Every GM needs to learn....i'd like to learn as muhc as possible about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): and spread any knowledge amongst gm's to have the most competitive league we can about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): It would be a good thing to have a gm in this league outside of the panel that could be seen as the advisor and you could be the one gm about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): It's way too early to select you now as the advisor but it would be a smart idea looking into it. That mean any new gm making deals in their first two weeks would need to talk to you before ever approving a deal about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Just a idea about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): That is a very good idea. I take most the emotion out of my trading and use current trade value. To me that is the only way to have fair trades that aren't with bad will. about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): but of course we would need multiple advisors about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): exactly, I with you Cody about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): for sure about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): because what to do if you want to deal with that new gm about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): who knows....i never thought of that in a league before tbh about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): You never thought of a advise Panel ? about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): I won't deal with new gms about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): I prefer to win with my head held high if i do so about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'll only deal with new gm if I want a particular player about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Like for instance I was after RyJo for the last year and half about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): For example Wingels....who i think blows about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): has some value here about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): why would I not ask for such player about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Wingels is very valuable in these type of league about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): just like Lance Bouma about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): if you are for long term benefit of leauge. You don't trade with gms that don't have their feet wet unless you feel they are getting fair shake. about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): to be fair I prefer Bouma and Wingel over Boedker in this type of league about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): most the time you are lyign to yourself if you think they are about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): Wingels has no upside tho...so there is that about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): and was absolute shit second half of season about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): but he's a safe bet about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): i'd rather not roster a shitty player even if they have valuable about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): value about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): i got some marketable pieces about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): young upside guys about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): it's your proactive bro about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Don't worry I'll do the same 59 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I've seen some gm get in a new league and lose a deal by a small margin to then pray on the week and getting his deal approve more easily 59 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): are you one of those gm ? 58 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I could see that from you 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): i didn't lose our deal 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): I have this theory.... 58 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'm not saying you loss our deal or I won the deal 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): you don't need to win deals to get better 58 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): just asking a fair question bro 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): winning deals only creates animosity with gms 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): I am very good at finding guys on waivers and drafting 57 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): i will add pieces there....with hard work and research 57 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): and trade them all or keep some.....improving as i go 57 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): You don't need to be predatory to win 57 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): plus i have only done one roto league and it was 3 years ago 56 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): i won it the second year then blew up my squad for fun 55 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): but i traded a ton of guys coming off career years and lucked out on prospects like Couture 54 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): so i'd say that was mostly luck 53 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Don't get why you use predatory 51 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): a person or group that ruthlessly exploits others: 51 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): When I pm someone about a deal or a certain player then I always ask them who they like from my team. Then from that moment I can see if there's a deal to be made. 50 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): That is what many gms do and don't realize it in an attempt to improve 50 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I hope you are not calling me rutheless 50 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): offering shit for stars is predatory 50 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): you are a quality gm 50 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): Just when you offer shit for stars on amazing contracts....well that is ruthless....not a strategy 49 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): It is an attempt to exploit...no? 49 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): are you telling me that it's not ruthless when you offer a 4th rounder for a good spect 49 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): Which spec? 49 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'm not here to say he offer me this and that 48 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I hate playing that game 48 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): but you know what I'm talking about 48 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): then another gm is asking me a 1st + for a similar spec 48 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I know we as gm won't value everyone the same way but there's a huge difference between a 4th round and 1st + 47 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): If your strategy would have been it was simply a starter offer and not trying to get a good spec on the cheap then cool 47 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Just saying we all make those offer and we shouldn't call that behaviour ruthless or predatory when in fact it's simply a starter offer 46 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): A guy name Steve in my other league (Puck) he said I was the worst gm he ever played with 45 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): Frank....you are far fro mthe worst gm 44 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): If you are not careful you will accept a deal or two that gives you no way to be proud of a team you have built. 43 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): We simply hate one another and that didn't bother me at all since I know he far from the truth. But it was simply funny said it by pure hatred 43 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): no reason to hate you....you seem to forgive easily 41 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): i am just trying to keep you around and tell you what i have seen in my leagues 41 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): we all need to learn right? 41 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): I am learning every day. 40 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): you are great for the league. imho 40 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Again which tactic do you prefer - getting a low offer or to obtain a one offer- take it or leave it 40 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): at least a low offer you have room to meet in the middle but the other one you would have no room to meet one another in the middle since that gm made you his best offer off the bat 38 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Just saying we had tactic but I should use my poker knowledge and adjust myself from gm to gm then doing the same thing over and over 37 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): getting a solid offer and then working from there 37 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): no no, I know a few offer had the habbit of sending one good offer and that s it bro 37 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): no reason to lowball.... 37 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Either way, each their own 36 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I know how to deal with you from now 36 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I mean it in a good way 35 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): all gms should come in with solid first offer 28 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): if you don't you are a predator 28 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): win a deal frank...win 100 i don't care. Just win them by no more then say. 20% on day one.....if on day 365 its 100% you are just a smart guy 27 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): that is how a "top gm" like you operates in best interest of league 24 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): bring it down to fair trade would be the best....but that is hard to make happen day 1 24 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): so 10% in either direction...who cares 24 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): This league rocks....let's keep it awesome. At some point we are going to have to allow less legit nhlers on rosters. Why not soon before it gets out of hand. 23 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): part of the fun in these leagues is forcing the top teams to move their high cap guys every year....only way to break cycles of winners 22 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I tried bringing that up last year, it went nowhere. 14 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): has to happen before it is too late imho 13 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): Kelowna seems like a gm ok with accepting this fate after winning 13 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): maybe like a max amount of contracts in the minors of nhl players 12 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): even if it is 10 or something high...haha 12 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): just not 40 12 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I brought up a cap for the minors, or max number of nhl contracts, or getting rid of "waiver free" promotion in the playoffs. no support on this stuff from the best teams. 12 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): hell, we can't even get people to support doing something to help the RiverRats, a team that was destroyed by it's former GM 10 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I really don't think anyone cares about league parity; it's just not an issue here. 9 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): That's unfair 8 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Well, that's my impression, anyways. But if you can get traction on anything to help, you'll have my vote. 8 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): If you want to do something then do it like my other league did which his 50 total contract and 40 unsign prospect for a total of 90 7 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Hey Dave, the waiver exempt was meant for a reason. You'll never have my vote for that 6 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): We created a league and I ask Dave(Pembroke) to have the waiver exempt during the playoff and during the off season and we agree to it. I still stand with that 5 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Since day one Buffalo as been trying to change this or that from the rules. I'm not rigid but to create a league base on a few important to change it now it really not the same league for me 4 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Of course you do. Using waivers during the playoffs would greatly benefit the weaker teams. 4 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I don't even know why we bother with waivers if it only applies to the regular season. 4 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): That I will never ever agree to that 4 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Why bother with a waiver process at all? 3 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I hate league that you have let'S say 3 waiver exempt for any player for pre season and the season and then the playoff for a total of let'S say 9. 3 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): that mean if you built a very good team, you might lose those player because they are not exempt anymore 2 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Why waist my time on that 2 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): The reason to that, is that without it, we will end up with 5 Kelown'a and 10 River Rats, eventualy. 2 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Every gm as their chance to create their Dynasty, don't go and change the rules half way 2 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Once a league gets too unbalanced, it will be harder to maintain. 1 minute ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): After 1 year, we have an undefeated team. And a winless team. That concerns me, when I step back and think of the league as a whole, as oppose to just thinking about "my" team. 1 minute ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I would just love it you could concentrate on your team then always trying to change the rules less than a minute ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Why is it you only have a problem with me talking when it's something you don't like? a few seconds ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I agree with Cody re: league parity is a good thing. Get over it lol
cody (Fargo): actually maybe i'd take turris 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): True, but you were lucky to get by Quebec. I think we should revisit the tie-breaker. 14 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I say make the tie-breaker your H2H stats for the full year. 14 hours ago x

cody (Fargo): For example Wingels....who i think blows about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): has some value here about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): why would I not ask for such player about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Wingels is very valuable in these type of league about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): just like Lance Bouma about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): if you are for long term benefit of leauge. You don't trade with gms that don't have their feet wet unless you feel they are getting fair shake. about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): to be fair I prefer Bouma and Wingel over Boedker in this type of league about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): most the time you are lyign to yourself if you think they are about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): Wingels has no upside tho...so there is that about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): and was absolute shit second half of season about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): but he's a safe bet about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): i'd rather not roster a shitty player even if they have valuable about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): value about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): i got some marketable pieces about an hour ago x
cody (Fargo): young upside guys about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): it's your proactive bro about an hour ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Don't worry I'll do the same 59 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I've seen some gm get in a new league and lose a deal by a small margin to then pray on the week and getting his deal approve more easily 59 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): are you one of those gm ? 58 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I could see that from you 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): i didn't lose our deal 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo):
58 minutes ago xcody (Fargo): I have this theory.... 58 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'm not saying you loss our deal or I won the deal 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): you don't need to win deals to get better 58 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): just asking a fair question bro 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): winning deals only creates animosity with gms 58 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): I am very good at finding guys on waivers and drafting 57 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): i will add pieces there....with hard work and research 57 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): and trade them all or keep some.....improving as i go 57 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): You don't need to be predatory to win 57 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): plus i have only done one roto league and it was 3 years ago 56 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): i won it the second year then blew up my squad for fun 55 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): but i traded a ton of guys coming off career years and lucked out on prospects like Couture 54 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): so i'd say that was mostly luck 53 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Don't get why you use predatory 51 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): a person or group that ruthlessly exploits others: 51 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): When I pm someone about a deal or a certain player then I always ask them who they like from my team. Then from that moment I can see if there's a deal to be made. 50 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): That is what many gms do and don't realize it in an attempt to improve 50 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I hope you are not calling me rutheless 50 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): offering shit for stars is predatory 50 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): you are a quality gm 50 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): Just when you offer shit for stars on amazing contracts....well that is ruthless....not a strategy 49 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): It is an attempt to exploit...no? 49 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): are you telling me that it's not ruthless when you offer a 4th rounder for a good spect 49 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): Which spec? 49 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I'm not here to say he offer me this and that 48 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I hate playing that game 48 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): but you know what I'm talking about 48 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): then another gm is asking me a 1st + for a similar spec 48 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I know we as gm won't value everyone the same way but there's a huge difference between a 4th round and 1st + 47 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): If your strategy would have been it was simply a starter offer and not trying to get a good spec on the cheap then cool 47 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Just saying we all make those offer and we shouldn't call that behaviour ruthless or predatory when in fact it's simply a starter offer 46 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): A guy name Steve in my other league (Puck) he said I was the worst gm he ever played with 45 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): Frank....you are far fro mthe worst gm 44 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): If you are not careful you will accept a deal or two that gives you no way to be proud of a team you have built. 43 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): We simply hate one another and that didn't bother me at all since I know he far from the truth. But it was simply funny said it by pure hatred 43 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): no reason to hate you....you seem to forgive easily 41 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): i am just trying to keep you around and tell you what i have seen in my leagues 41 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): we all need to learn right?
41 minutes ago xcody (Fargo): I am learning every day. 40 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): you are great for the league. imho 40 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Again which tactic do you prefer - getting a low offer or to obtain a one offer- take it or leave it 40 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): at least a low offer you have room to meet in the middle but the other one you would have no room to meet one another in the middle since that gm made you his best offer off the bat 38 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Just saying we had tactic but I should use my poker knowledge and adjust myself from gm to gm then doing the same thing over and over 37 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): getting a solid offer and then working from there 37 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): no no, I know a few offer had the habbit of sending one good offer and that s it bro 37 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): no reason to lowball.... 37 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Either way, each their own 36 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I know how to deal with you from now 36 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I mean it in a good way 35 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): all gms should come in with solid first offer 28 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): if you don't you are a predator
28 minutes ago xcody (Fargo): win a deal frank...win 100 i don't care. Just win them by no more then say. 20% on day one.....if on day 365 its 100% you are just a smart guy 27 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): that is how a "top gm" like you operates in best interest of league 24 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): bring it down to fair trade would be the best....but that is hard to make happen day 1 24 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): so 10% in either direction...who cares 24 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): This league rocks....let's keep it awesome. At some point we are going to have to allow less legit nhlers on rosters. Why not soon before it gets out of hand. 23 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): part of the fun in these leagues is forcing the top teams to move their high cap guys every year....only way to break cycles of winners 22 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I tried bringing that up last year, it went nowhere. 14 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): has to happen before it is too late imho 13 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): Kelowna seems like a gm ok with accepting this fate after winning 13 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): maybe like a max amount of contracts in the minors of nhl players 12 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): even if it is 10 or something high...haha 12 minutes ago x
cody (Fargo): just not 40 12 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I brought up a cap for the minors, or max number of nhl contracts, or getting rid of "waiver free" promotion in the playoffs. no support on this stuff from the best teams. 12 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): hell, we can't even get people to support doing something to help the RiverRats, a team that was destroyed by it's former GM 10 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I really don't think anyone cares about league parity; it's just not an issue here. 9 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): That's unfair 8 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Well, that's my impression, anyways. But if you can get traction on anything to help, you'll have my vote. 8 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): If you want to do something then do it like my other league did which his 50 total contract and 40 unsign prospect for a total of 90 7 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Hey Dave, the waiver exempt was meant for a reason. You'll never have my vote for that 6 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): We created a league and I ask Dave(Pembroke) to have the waiver exempt during the playoff and during the off season and we agree to it. I still stand with that 5 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Since day one Buffalo as been trying to change this or that from the rules. I'm not rigid but to create a league base on a few important to change it now it really not the same league for me 4 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Of course you do. Using waivers during the playoffs would greatly benefit the weaker teams. 4 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I don't even know why we bother with waivers if it only applies to the regular season. 4 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): That I will never ever agree to that 4 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Why bother with a waiver process at all? 3 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I hate league that you have let'S say 3 waiver exempt for any player for pre season and the season and then the playoff for a total of let'S say 9. 3 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): that mean if you built a very good team, you might lose those player because they are not exempt anymore 2 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Why waist my time on that 2 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): The reason to that, is that without it, we will end up with 5 Kelown'a and 10 River Rats, eventualy. 2 minutes ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Every gm as their chance to create their Dynasty, don't go and change the rules half way 2 minutes ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Once a league gets too unbalanced, it will be harder to maintain. 1 minute ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): After 1 year, we have an undefeated team. And a winless team. That concerns me, when I step back and think of the league as a whole, as oppose to just thinking about "my" team. 1 minute ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I would just love it you could concentrate on your team then always trying to change the rules less than a minute ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Why is it you only have a problem with me talking when it's something you don't like? a few seconds ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I agree with Cody re: league parity is a good thing. Get over it lol
