The Official Jeff Skinner Trade Thread Drinking Game

[DaveG]

lolol

 

[the halleJOKEL]

okay sounds good

someone keep track of the running roster in this thread or a separate thread

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Only when the topics are created by other fanbases though, correct? Because we could easily create a Hurricanes auction/firesale topic on the tradeboard right now and get a slew of ridiculous proposals.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i think as long as other teams posters make the proposals we are fine

This is the only rule.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

How do we deal with subsequent offers posted within trade threads? Do we only accept the original deals offered by the thread starter and ignore all others?

My vote is we only accept offers in the first post of a new thread. And whichever hurricanes fan is first to accept is responsible for coming to this thread and updating our roster.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

someone list our current roster, notable prospects and currently held draft picks for the next few years to make it easier

this sounds like work.

i nominate somebody else.

Probably the most consistent way to do it.

However, what about the posts in the thread make an offer for another Hurricanes player? Say that someone makes an offer for Faulk in a Skinner topic?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

yeah assuming we still have faulk at that point

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Probably the most consistent way to do it.

You're overthinking it. The thread will crash and burn in three hours.

i will do this thing tonite

My only concern is that it may be hard to wade through all that crap to find all the offers.

On the other hand, including those offers will help us to "improve" our roster much faster. We should probably include them as well.

Just so long as our roster here is updated to reflect them. I'd hate to trade someone a player one of you guys had already traded. I'd feel like such a fool having to go back and explain my mistake.

 

[RodTheBawd]

How about reasonable trade offers? Ok, now that everyone is done laughing, seriously, on the offchance a legitimate proposal is posted, is it accepted or rejected?

 

[Ole Gil]

Seems like we'd accept the first offer for any player. Any subsequent offers for that player are moot, as they've already been traded.

For practicality's sake, we can always claim the original accepted offer was superior, and that is why we can not accept the other subsequent offers.

Are the deciders going to allow certain positions to get raided, or can you turn down proposals based on lineup composition?

For example, if both Staals are traded in deals that don't return centermen at all....are you still going to do the deal?

Yes. We can always slot in defenseman in those spots.

If someone thought it was a deal that benefited us then we're obliged to do it. No doubt they've taken the time to put together a thoughtful proposal that meets our needs.

Who are we, as fans of a southern franchise, to question anyone on their hockey knowledge?

Yes. Yes. Feel the hate flow through you.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Shall I go back and retroactively agree to trades since, say, July 1st since there've been some epic ones

No, we must wait for them to come to us.

Patience is a virtue.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Maybe I'll do both just for the sake of curiosity.

I can't imagine how ****ty our roster would be lol

 

[BrindAmours Army]

Yes. We can always slot in defenseman in those spots.

But we'll more than make up for it with the 16 picks in the '17 5th round we get dealt.

 

[Ole Gil]

I just read this rumor on sportsblog.com that the Pens are still trying to get a Staal trade to happen.

It's just a rumor and its summer so what would the trade look like if it went down?

Bonino+Bennett+2nd+3rd?

Make it so.
