TheNudge (Portland): That's too steep for me!! Jun 22, 2015 at 10:03pm x
Long Island Fishermen (Josh): You wouldn't do Lack+Demko for Eichel right now? Are you crazy Frank? Take that and run. Jun 23, 2015 at 8:32am x
Brandon (Red Deer): that would be a little underwhelming of a return on Eichel. Jun 23, 2015 at 8:44am x
Richmond RiverDogs (Will): That's frank offer to me that was an easy no lol Jun 23, 2015 at 9:21am x
Richmond RiverDogs (Will): Frank will throw out a strong offer out soon I have faith lol do have the option to retain salary in this league? Jun 23, 2015 at 9:28am x

Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): fucking staal just got eichel Jun 23, 2015 at 2:28pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): so maybe you will get mcdavid with nash Jun 23, 2015 at 2:29pm x
Brandon (Red Deer): There was a lot more involved there than Staal. Jun 23, 2015 at 2:37pm x
Brandon (Red Deer): And if you look at Richmonds team. Blah, I'm glad I was given this to work with. Jun 23, 2015 at 2:38pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): you don't trade eichel for garbage pre draft Jun 23, 2015 at 2:39pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): a lot more average shit Jun 23, 2015 at 2:39pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): not one elite piece Jun 23, 2015 at 2:39pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): the main piece needs to be better then burakovsky Jun 23, 2015 at 2:40pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): then again i don't think i care Jun 23, 2015 at 2:40pm x
Brandon (Red Deer): That's fair. Jun 23, 2015 at 2:48pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Pastrnak, 13, some waivers a couple defense and shitty forward for McDavid should do it Jun 23, 2015 at 2:53pm * x
Richmond RiverDogs (Will): Eric Staal on the block can be pretty flexible given the return Jun 23, 2015 at 6:09pm x
Brandon (Red Deer): Joe Thornton....come on 60 assists? Jun 23, 2015 at 6:35pm x
Richmond RiverDogs (Will): taking da training wheels off lol Jun 23, 2015 at 7:07pm x
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! Jun 23, 2015 at 7:28pm x
TheNudge (Portland): And I took out the belt for a ride!! Jun 23, 2015 at 7:28pm * x
Richmond RiverDogs (Will): lmfao Jun 23, 2015 at 7:52pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): i will take eric staal and a second for a fourth round draft pick 21 hours ago x
bertuzzifan2010 (Sea Dogs): Thomas Vanek+ a waiver Pick for Stall 19 hours ago x
bertuzzifan2010 (Sea Dogs): staal* 19 hours ago x
Golden Seals: I'll take staal back 19 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Bennett, Drouin, Dvorak and a waiver for Tavares... 19 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Oh wait, that already happened...lol 19 hours ago x
Brandon (Red Deer): Can we get another approval on RDR-KEL 19 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Nope 19 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Raiders you will learn how to play some day 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): let me know if you need a lesson 18 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Once you've won something, I will happily attend the course. Until then, all we have is a lot of bluster/chirping around how you are going to win the league within two years. 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): heh 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I have won every deep keeper i have played in 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): it isn't about the players all the time brah....it is the balance of vets youth and cap 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): If you think i lost that trade for Tavares....you are crazy 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): oh and sorry to break it to you. Pk Subban has shit for value 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): 11.53 % of your cap...that makes me laugh 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): based on your prospect list you don't know what you are doing with them either so....well....not sure why i even responded 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Thanks Professor, be sure to reiterate your glorious pool results in your acceptance speech when you win the championship! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I may not care to win. Haven't decided yet. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Winners don't make excuses. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Won't be hard to beat you with that goalie crew you have tho. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Not at all! You are poised to dominate! 1st place is a slam dunk! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Where are my holes? 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Not sure but your biggest weakness is the hole you use to talk smack! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): need to know why you think my team sucks 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): lol 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I never said your team sucks! You said it yourself when you joined, you will win this season or next season. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I could trade 3 of my goalies for massive upgrades and win maybe next year 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Ok then, stop talking and go do it then! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): i just don't know if i care to win. That would involve alot of effort to acquire roto players that are good. And that seems awful boring. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): C'mon now...what's with this 'maybe' nonsense? You virtually guaranteed victory within a week of joining the pool, IIRC. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Well i have 3 first round pick sthe next two years. umpteen waiver picks 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): so lots of room to improve on tradeable assets for vets 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I have won enough pools.....winning gets old man 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Ok...so fulfill the bluster by showing results! Otherwise it's just all talk. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But you think i lost trading Tavares for 2 studs and one maybe stud 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): and a top 5 waiver which i can easily get a top goalie prospect with or a top 6 forward 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Not sure what world i lost in 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): maybe a keep 5 league with 10 teams.... 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Yes. Tavares is arguably one of the best cap bargains in the league, and was top forward in this league's format. I get the depth angle, but my opinion is you didn't get enough for Tavares...which is fine... 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Well i used to have your same opinion on thigns. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Then I had to change my thoughts with the new nhl 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): For a dude who chirps about many deals that other people make, you seem to get rattend when someone disagrees with you. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): *rattled 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): rattled? Naw.....not even close. My confidence may come off as arrogance. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): "May"? Lol 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But my intentions are good and well i have a track record to back it up 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): You have zero track record here. Win something first! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): My mind is trained on fantasy hockey....tbh i wish i didn't waste so much time on this crap. Would rather know Martial Arts or something. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): This is a good pastime for sure 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I am tiering it back some so maybe my judgement calls will become worse. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I have hundreds of hours invested into the prsopects and players currently in nhl 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): To what....create super fantasy teams that get boring? 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): As do many of us, I am sure...but we are not so insecure to feel the need to constantly prove our alleged expertise to a group of virtual strangers on the Internet! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Raiders no matter how many great minds i have come across over the years. And i will never claim to know a ton about each players strength and weaknesses. One thing i know for sure is that most gms can't calculate cap. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): So maybe there are 20 gms that knwo more then me. That is fine by me. I just need to be better at cap management then them. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): In order to be godo at fantasy hockey you have to not become attached to players and manage a cap. Pretty simple. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Some luck never hurts either 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But of course your best player is 9 million, your second best player is -33, and your third round player is likely the next Daigle. After that noone is all that good. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Luck/injuries usually play a big role, for sure. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): zero upside on your roster 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Brock i like in ways but upside not huge 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Morgan Reilly is D so who cares 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I inherited this mess of a team, had very little influence on the current state...see it as a medium to long term project. Your opinion on my squad is meaningless to me...lol 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Brandon Montour from my team will prolly be as good in fantasy haha 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): you have traded well so far actually 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): so i would put money on you improving 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): But I have no delusions that I will be in the mix for the championship anytime soon...realize that it will take time. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): shouldn't take too long 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): If I make the playoffs next season, that would be a reasonable first step...or I could try tanking but that usually doesn't work out well. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): just gotta load your prospect pool and pounce when your team hits the right wpot 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): spot 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): 015-04-27
To Nepean: 1st (LIF - #3 overall) 2015 entry
To Long Island: 1st (NEP - #8 overall) 2015 entry, 2nd waiver (NEP - #32), JT Miller, Nick Schmaltz

Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): love that trade for you 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): although it is roto so 8 could be easily as good as Marner 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): We'll see...could go either way. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But dude...i am not going to try to win this league just to prove a point. I really have no desire to trade my goalies. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Gibson and Helle shoudl be two of the most valuable young players outside of Mcdavid and Eichel 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): So i could trade them for tons or just sit tight and have more fun. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Careful with goalie specs though...I remember when Marks tom, DiPietro, Bernier, Biron, Thibault, etc were the "next ones" 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Hype on Markstrom was through the roof...need to be careful with putting too many eggs in the "he will be a bona-fide #1" when referring to young goalies. 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Sorry but I prefer Gillies to helle 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I don't get too excited over NCAA performance...it is an inferior league when compared to WHL/OHL/QMJHL 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Jon Gillies is the real deal but time will tell 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I reserve the "real deal" label for players who prove it at the NHL level. Case in point, Mike Reilly on my roster...tons of hype, but I'm not going to kid myself into thinking he is the next Bobby Orr! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Jon Gillies is in college dude....lol 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): you prefer Gillis to helle who post 20 points higher then him in NCAA? 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): haha 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Then did very well in AHL and then owned the WC.... 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Gillies is my guy 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Helle is your guy 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I won't try change your mind on it and I hope you can respect my opinion on that 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): let's move on and let's the result speak for themselves 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): How many games have you seen gillies play? 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): trying to figure out how a college goalie becomes a guy you can be pumped about 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): haha 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Like even if they are equal talent.... 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): woudln't you take the guy that has to beat out Pavelec over MAF? 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): i am still uncertain how matt murrey got traded for garbage here 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): i am low on goalies generally tbh too haha 16 hours ago x
Bruyns (Barrie): why would Gillies need to beat out MAF? 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): oh shit have matt murrey in head 16 hours ago x
Bruyns (Barrie): lol 16 hours ago x
Bruyns (Barrie): He had great AHL stats too 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Matt Murrey could be special goalie and was traded for J Subban 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Fantasy hockey is funny 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But Gillies has to prove AHL yet and then maybe one can get borderline excited 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Frank everyone on your team is an all star in making tho! 16 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): That is not true but most !! 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): "trying to figure out how a college goalie becomes a guy you can be pumped about" - you say that about matt murray, but isn't hellebuyck also a college goalie? I must be missing something.
16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): What we need around here is more people with passion and opinions lol 16 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I believe that's what we are 16 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I think Hellebuyck's rookie year in the AHL, along with the typical fantasy hockey message board hype around him being #1 in Winnipeg by the end of next season is contributing to the excitement. Also, Cody isn't shy about pumping the tires of his players! 16 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Like the hip-hop music business, fantasy hockey is more about marketing and promotion, less about talent! 16 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Gibson was an alleged lock to be Anaheim's #1 two years ago, according to the hype. Markstrom was going to save the Florida Panthers as well, according to the hype. 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Don't forget Robyn Lehner. 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): The greatest goalie since....Jacob Markstrom. 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Of course I traded Lehner - so he'll probably win the Vezina next year lol 16 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): And in one of my leagues, someone dealt Jamie Benn for Drouin after Drouin was drafted by Tampa Bay...when it was a "lock" that Drouin would just get handed a spot on Stamkos' line as an 18 year-old. 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Do healthy scratches count as a category in that pool? 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Yep same treatment as Kucherov the prior year....Jon Cooper is a genious 16 hours ago x
Golden Seals: i believe what we need is a mute button 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): and Drouin had minimal minutes and did well in regular season....just saying. Trading Benn for him....well that is stupidity. Not seing that Drouin plays in slo mo.....well...impossible. 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Not yet, but with some of the hilarious categories in fantasy these days, it wouldn't surprise me to see it someday! 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Yes nothing more fun then muting people that want to talk about fiction. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Kevin you are right on goalies.... 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): but land a goalie on your squad at 2 mill for 3 years and notice the advantage it gives you 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Cody, you act as if you're the only one who knows how to manage a cap! We get it! 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Once you've won the pool, we will all enrol in your capology course. 15 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I was going to start a pool new pool this year from scratch, and then I found out the categories include +/-, Corsi and something else I've never even heard of 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Kevin what do you do for a living? 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): A lot of writing... 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I can surely let you think PK Subban has lots of value if that is what you wish. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But if you think he does.... well then you can't manage cap. Sorry for trying to help you 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Certainly not from a dollar/fantasy point perspective, but at the end of the day he puts up big numbers. I tried to deal him for a more friendly cap-hit in Faulk, but it was vetoed. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Yep and you lost out. Bummer 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Remember, I am new to the league and inherited the roster I have. Subban was the best performing d-man in this format last season...you're basically saying that anyone with a salary over $5.5M is worthless...Given that you gave away Tavares. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): my last year would not carry was over 6 ish 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): willing to move it up to 6.5 ish this year 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): but i didn't give away Tavares......... 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Ok 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): you realize sam bennett is good right? 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): he is giong to put up damn near 100 pim his first few years 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): and be one of the top roto players 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Absolutely...Gretzky 2.0 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): heh 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): but but but.....he was raved about in the playoffs this year 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Pasternek suck too? 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Monahan? 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Do you have to be 27 to be considered good enough for the Raiders? 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Are you in grade eight by any chance? 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): You remind me of someone who is 5'5", and wants to scrap after a few pints...lol 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): i don't drink 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): and i am 5'7 15 hours ago x
icon (Quebec): Dave, we need a shoutbox update. It seems I missed some good stuff 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): lol 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): it has been fun.....Raiders.....time will tell if i am a moron or not on those trades. They needs some time to Stew. I'll admit them later fine but now i stand strong. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): gotta run. Later!!!
TheNudge (Portland): lol!! Ban Edit Jun 22, 2015 at 3:46pm x
TheNudge (Portland): You have a dirty mind Brandon!! Jun 22, 2015 at 3:46pm x
Brandon (Red Deer): Looking to get rid of Jumbo Joe, Nash, Doan, Fehr, Pommmer, Neil, Gunnarsson, Z. Smith Neil, Hanzal. I will listen on my defensemen. Looking for younger controllable guys. No longer willing to deal Vasilevskiy. Jun 22, 2015 at 6:55pm x
Richmond RiverDogs (Will): Looking for picks for the upcoming draft if there are any takers Jun 22, 2015 at 7:02pm x

Brandon (Red Deer): Looking to deal with people who are realistic trade partners. Jun 22, 2015 at 9:16pm x
Richmond RiverDogs (Will): Sure frank lack + demko Jun 22, 2015 at 10:00pm x

Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): not one elite piece Jun 23, 2015 at 2:39pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): the main piece needs to be better then burakovsky Jun 23, 2015 at 2:40pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): then again i don't think i care Jun 23, 2015 at 2:40pm x
Brandon (Red Deer): That's fair. Jun 23, 2015 at 2:48pm x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Pastrnak, 13, some waivers a couple defense and shitty forward for McDavid should do it Jun 23, 2015 at 2:53pm * x
Richmond RiverDogs (Will): Eric Staal on the block can be pretty flexible given the return Jun 23, 2015 at 6:09pm x
Brandon (Red Deer): Joe Thornton....come on 60 assists? Jun 23, 2015 at 6:35pm x
Richmond RiverDogs (Will): taking da training wheels off lol Jun 23, 2015 at 7:07pm x

kevinog613 (Raiders): Bennett, Drouin, Dvorak and a waiver for Tavares... 19 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Oh wait, that already happened...lol 19 hours ago x
Brandon (Red Deer): Can we get another approval on RDR-KEL 19 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Nope 19 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Raiders you will learn how to play some day 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): let me know if you need a lesson 18 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Once you've won something, I will happily attend the course. Until then, all we have is a lot of bluster/chirping around how you are going to win the league within two years. 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): heh 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I have won every deep keeper i have played in 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): it isn't about the players all the time brah....it is the balance of vets youth and cap 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): If you think i lost that trade for Tavares....you are crazy 18 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): oh and sorry to break it to you. Pk Subban has shit for value 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): 11.53 % of your cap...that makes me laugh 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): based on your prospect list you don't know what you are doing with them either so....well....not sure why i even responded 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Thanks Professor, be sure to reiterate your glorious pool results in your acceptance speech when you win the championship! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I may not care to win. Haven't decided yet. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Winners don't make excuses. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Won't be hard to beat you with that goalie crew you have tho. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Not at all! You are poised to dominate! 1st place is a slam dunk! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Where are my holes? 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Not sure but your biggest weakness is the hole you use to talk smack! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): need to know why you think my team sucks 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): lol 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I never said your team sucks! You said it yourself when you joined, you will win this season or next season. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I could trade 3 of my goalies for massive upgrades and win maybe next year 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Ok then, stop talking and go do it then! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): i just don't know if i care to win. That would involve alot of effort to acquire roto players that are good. And that seems awful boring. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): C'mon now...what's with this 'maybe' nonsense? You virtually guaranteed victory within a week of joining the pool, IIRC. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Well i have 3 first round pick sthe next two years. umpteen waiver picks 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): so lots of room to improve on tradeable assets for vets 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I have won enough pools.....winning gets old man 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Ok...so fulfill the bluster by showing results! Otherwise it's just all talk. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But you think i lost trading Tavares for 2 studs and one maybe stud 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): and a top 5 waiver which i can easily get a top goalie prospect with or a top 6 forward 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Not sure what world i lost in 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): maybe a keep 5 league with 10 teams.... 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Yes. Tavares is arguably one of the best cap bargains in the league, and was top forward in this league's format. I get the depth angle, but my opinion is you didn't get enough for Tavares...which is fine... 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Well i used to have your same opinion on thigns. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Then I had to change my thoughts with the new nhl 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): For a dude who chirps about many deals that other people make, you seem to get rattend when someone disagrees with you. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): *rattled 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): rattled? Naw.....not even close. My confidence may come off as arrogance. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): "May"? Lol 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But my intentions are good and well i have a track record to back it up 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): You have zero track record here. Win something first! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): My mind is trained on fantasy hockey....tbh i wish i didn't waste so much time on this crap. Would rather know Martial Arts or something. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): This is a good pastime for sure 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I am tiering it back some so maybe my judgement calls will become worse. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I have hundreds of hours invested into the prsopects and players currently in nhl 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): To what....create super fantasy teams that get boring? 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): As do many of us, I am sure...but we are not so insecure to feel the need to constantly prove our alleged expertise to a group of virtual strangers on the Internet! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Raiders no matter how many great minds i have come across over the years. And i will never claim to know a ton about each players strength and weaknesses. One thing i know for sure is that most gms can't calculate cap. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): So maybe there are 20 gms that knwo more then me. That is fine by me. I just need to be better at cap management then them. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): In order to be godo at fantasy hockey you have to not become attached to players and manage a cap. Pretty simple. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Some luck never hurts either 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But of course your best player is 9 million, your second best player is -33, and your third round player is likely the next Daigle. After that noone is all that good. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Luck/injuries usually play a big role, for sure. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): zero upside on your roster 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Brock i like in ways but upside not huge 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Morgan Reilly is D so who cares 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I inherited this mess of a team, had very little influence on the current state...see it as a medium to long term project. Your opinion on my squad is meaningless to me...lol 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Brandon Montour from my team will prolly be as good in fantasy haha 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): you have traded well so far actually 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): so i would put money on you improving 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): But I have no delusions that I will be in the mix for the championship anytime soon...realize that it will take time. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): shouldn't take too long 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): If I make the playoffs next season, that would be a reasonable first step...or I could try tanking but that usually doesn't work out well. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): just gotta load your prospect pool and pounce when your team hits the right wpot 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): spot 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): 015-04-27
To Nepean: 1st (LIF - #3 overall) 2015 entry
To Long Island: 1st (NEP - #8 overall) 2015 entry, 2nd waiver (NEP - #32), JT Miller, Nick Schmaltz

Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): love that trade for you 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): although it is roto so 8 could be easily as good as Marner 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): We'll see...could go either way. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But dude...i am not going to try to win this league just to prove a point. I really have no desire to trade my goalies. 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Gibson and Helle shoudl be two of the most valuable young players outside of Mcdavid and Eichel 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): So i could trade them for tons or just sit tight and have more fun. 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Careful with goalie specs though...I remember when Marks tom, DiPietro, Bernier, Biron, Thibault, etc were the "next ones" 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Hype on Markstrom was through the roof...need to be careful with putting too many eggs in the "he will be a bona-fide #1" when referring to young goalies. 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Sorry but I prefer Gillies to helle 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I don't get too excited over NCAA performance...it is an inferior league when compared to WHL/OHL/QMJHL 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Jon Gillies is the real deal but time will tell 17 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I reserve the "real deal" label for players who prove it at the NHL level. Case in point, Mike Reilly on my roster...tons of hype, but I'm not going to kid myself into thinking he is the next Bobby Orr! 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Jon Gillies is in college dude....lol 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): you prefer Gillis to helle who post 20 points higher then him in NCAA? 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): haha 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Then did very well in AHL and then owned the WC.... 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Gillies is my guy 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): Helle is your guy 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I won't try change your mind on it and I hope you can respect my opinion on that 17 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): let's move on and let's the result speak for themselves 17 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): How many games have you seen gillies play? 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): trying to figure out how a college goalie becomes a guy you can be pumped about 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): haha 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Like even if they are equal talent.... 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): woudln't you take the guy that has to beat out Pavelec over MAF? 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): i am still uncertain how matt murrey got traded for garbage here 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): i am low on goalies generally tbh too haha 16 hours ago x
Bruyns (Barrie): why would Gillies need to beat out MAF? 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): oh shit have matt murrey in head 16 hours ago x
Bruyns (Barrie): lol 16 hours ago x
Bruyns (Barrie): He had great AHL stats too 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Matt Murrey could be special goalie and was traded for J Subban 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Fantasy hockey is funny 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But Gillies has to prove AHL yet and then maybe one can get borderline excited 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Frank everyone on your team is an all star in making tho! 16 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): That is not true but most !! 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): "trying to figure out how a college goalie becomes a guy you can be pumped about" - you say that about matt murray, but isn't hellebuyck also a college goalie? I must be missing something.
16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): What we need around here is more people with passion and opinions lol 16 hours ago x
TheNudge (Portland): I believe that's what we are 16 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): I think Hellebuyck's rookie year in the AHL, along with the typical fantasy hockey message board hype around him being #1 in Winnipeg by the end of next season is contributing to the excitement. Also, Cody isn't shy about pumping the tires of his players! 16 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Like the hip-hop music business, fantasy hockey is more about marketing and promotion, less about talent! 16 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Gibson was an alleged lock to be Anaheim's #1 two years ago, according to the hype. Markstrom was going to save the Florida Panthers as well, according to the hype. 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Don't forget Robyn Lehner. 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): The greatest goalie since....Jacob Markstrom. 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Of course I traded Lehner - so he'll probably win the Vezina next year lol 16 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): And in one of my leagues, someone dealt Jamie Benn for Drouin after Drouin was drafted by Tampa Bay...when it was a "lock" that Drouin would just get handed a spot on Stamkos' line as an 18 year-old. 16 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): Do healthy scratches count as a category in that pool? 16 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Yep same treatment as Kucherov the prior year....Jon Cooper is a genious 16 hours ago x
Golden Seals: i believe what we need is a mute button 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): and Drouin had minimal minutes and did well in regular season....just saying. Trading Benn for him....well that is stupidity. Not seing that Drouin plays in slo mo.....well...impossible. 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Not yet, but with some of the hilarious categories in fantasy these days, it wouldn't surprise me to see it someday! 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Yes nothing more fun then muting people that want to talk about fiction. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Kevin you are right on goalies.... 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): but land a goalie on your squad at 2 mill for 3 years and notice the advantage it gives you 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Cody, you act as if you're the only one who knows how to manage a cap! We get it! 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Once you've won the pool, we will all enrol in your capology course. 15 hours ago x
alsrevenge (Sabres GM): I was going to start a pool new pool this year from scratch, and then I found out the categories include +/-, Corsi and something else I've never even heard of 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Kevin what do you do for a living? 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): A lot of writing... 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): I can surely let you think PK Subban has lots of value if that is what you wish. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): But if you think he does.... well then you can't manage cap. Sorry for trying to help you 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Certainly not from a dollar/fantasy point perspective, but at the end of the day he puts up big numbers. I tried to deal him for a more friendly cap-hit in Faulk, but it was vetoed. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Yep and you lost out. Bummer 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Remember, I am new to the league and inherited the roster I have. Subban was the best performing d-man in this format last season...you're basically saying that anyone with a salary over $5.5M is worthless...Given that you gave away Tavares. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): my last year would not carry was over 6 ish 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): willing to move it up to 6.5 ish this year 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): but i didn't give away Tavares......... 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Ok 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): you realize sam bennett is good right? 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): he is giong to put up damn near 100 pim his first few years 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): and be one of the top roto players 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Absolutely...Gretzky 2.0 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): heh 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): but but but.....he was raved about in the playoffs this year 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Pasternek suck too? 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Monahan? 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): Do you have to be 27 to be considered good enough for the Raiders? 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): Are you in grade eight by any chance? 15 hours ago x
kevinog613 (Raiders): You remind me of someone who is 5'5", and wants to scrap after a few pints...lol 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): i don't drink 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): and i am 5'7 15 hours ago x
icon (Quebec): Dave, we need a shoutbox update. It seems I missed some good stuff 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): lol 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): it has been fun.....Raiders.....time will tell if i am a moron or not on those trades. They needs some time to Stew. I'll admit them later fine but now i stand strong. 15 hours ago x
Fargo Ice Sharks (Cody): gotta run. Later!!!
