^ Approved.

 

[dasboot]

Sorry I've been away for the long weekend and will check my team as soon as I am home tonight... What place am I in anyways? lol

You're 5th in the West, 6 points behind Colorado for the division lead and 8 points above 9th.

CPU TRADE 1
-----------
Niklas Backstrom (C)- 85 overall, 4.5*.

FOR

Jonathan Huberdeau- 81 overall, 4.5*.


CPU TRADE 2
-----------
McBain-78, 4*
Stone- 73, 3.5*

FOR

Voynov-78, 4*
Gallagher-81, 3.5*

Approve the 1st trade.
Dont approve the 2nd trade.

To Toronto:
Conacher (79 ovr, 23 years old, 4 star gold, 1.3 mil contract)
2nd
3rd

To Coyotes:
Marchand (83 overall, 24 years old, 4 star gold, 4.4 mil contract)

I have an excess C, and not enough LW'ers so I traded honey badger for papa honey badger.

The picks are to make up the 4 overall difference right now

I'd only approve this trade if Toronto was out of a playoff spot.

 

[derriko]

They are 5th in the league lol, so ill make a back up plan if I don't get 3 votes.

They do have Ladd and Malone as their 1 and 3 LW's, and Malone is 1 overall less than Marchand so he could replace Brad if the trade goes through.

At center they have Stepan at 84 ovr, and then Anisimov as their #2 at 81 overall. And they did covet Conacher if that makes any difference.

I tried trading Backlund but couldn't get a deal done.

AI trade:

receive:
Jared Spurgeon(23, 4 stars, 77 overall)

receive:
Mikael Backlund(23, 4 stars, 77 overall)

My automatic approval does not apply to this, veto that ****:

I tried trading Backlund but couldn't get a deal done.

That reminds me, you have to actually try making a deal with human GMs before jumping to a CPU trade. You either have to advertise the piece you want to trade ("I'm looking to move a top line C") or what you're looking for ("I want to add a 4 star prospect"). No big piece should be moved without having been brought up in the thread first.

Neither of those Leaf deals remotely conform to that standard, so I disapprove of both of them.

 

[Deku]

Looking to trade defenseman Keith Yandle. He is 83 overall, 26 years old, with 4.5 yellow stars.

I'd like a young winger in return (left or right, doesn't matter) and maybe a depth defenseman if you have one to spare.

If there are no good deals on the table for Yandle by tomorrow and we haven't simmed yet, I might ship him to a CPU team.

What is Yandle's contract?

 

[derriko]

Scratch that first trade. I was looking for an NHL wing on the block, but every team was good that had one, so ill go the prospect route.

To Ott:
Conacher - 79 ovr, 23, 4 star gold
3rd

To Phx:
Noesen - 61 ovr, 20, 4 star gold
2nd

The picks are to make up the disparity in overall.

FYI - I've been advertising my centers since day one of the league.

 

[Deku]

What is Yandle's contract?

$5.25M per year, 4 years left

He's a very good Dman, better than his overall indicates. It's just that his physical category brings his overall down:

4.5 star shooting
5 star puck skills
5 star senses
4.5 star skating
3 star physical
4 star defense

Take a look at my team. Lots of 4*, young wingers + Clayton Stoner (75 overall depth D)

 

[Leafs For Life*]

For the first trade, Backstrom is better now but Huberdeau will catch up to him very quickly. They both usually peak at around 87-90. So I think it's fair.

McBain and Voynov are basically equal, and Stone usually becomes pretty good rather quickly. But on second though I agree, maybe a pick should be added to the trade.


Edit: This is Michael Stone, right? Not Mark?

Yep, that's what I was thinking also, and yes, Dman Michael Stone. I could add a 2nd+3rd I guess.
-----
I have posted before that McBain and my other top 6 C was avail, implying that Backstrom could go for a price and keep the other.

2nd trade improved
McBain+Stone+2nd+3rd for Voynov+Gallagher.

 

[Joider]

Since its the trade deadline I was wondering if anyone wanted to trade. My only untouchable is Rask. I would like a couple left wing prospects because my team isn't doing that well and I'd like to rebuild.

You should probably mention specific players who you want to trade to generate more interest. Just a recommendation.

I could be interested depending on the players.

 

[Deku]

Benny when are we simming past the deadline? I'd like if we could wait until tomorrow night at the earliest.

 

[Benjamin]

Should be a big trade deadline so I can wait until tomorrow night. I'll sim to the playoffs very quickly though.

Sounds good, thank you

 

[Indrew]

I have Gonchar (83), Elias (82), and Regin (76) available for rent. All UFAs.

Gonch and Elias make around 7M each, while Regin makes pennies. Remember, pro-rated and such!

Just looking for scraps.

 

[Pavlikovsky]

I have Steve Montador D(78) and Alex Picard D(76) for picks/prospects if anybody is interested

 

[dasboot]

Psht, Indy signed both those old men out of UFA.

 

[Indrew]

And now they can be yours! For cheap!

 

[Deku]

CPU Trade proposal:



D Keith Yandle (83, 26 years old, 4.5 yellow stars)




LW Jaden Schwartz (79, 20 years old, 4 yellow stars)


The Rangers don't need Schwartz on LW as they already have Taylor Hall and Jeff Skinner playing ahead of him. They also only have one top four defenseman - the rest of their guys are top six dmen. So Yandle is a perfect fit. They are 11th in the East, but only three points back of eighth place and I think Yandle will help them get into the playoffs. I get a nice young forward to help me in the future as I don't care about making the playoffs.

I haven't sent the trade through yet, but I'm pretty sure they will accept it, as they want Yandle as he has more trade value than Schwartz.​
