This is usually something you want to do before you make a trade...

 

[IslesRock4]

@ T_Cage. You have full control of the draft. Complete it and I hate you less.

he's an RFA I can just resign him if he didn't

 

[Dr Pepper]

No, Sheppard = RFA.

Inspiring motivational speech

Blowing thru it now. Min and TB watch the boards, cause your picks are coming up quick

And if either of you wanna trade it for CHI's 3rd and a 3rd in 2012, let me know

"Overall I'm very happy with what we have done today." said sabres GM Barbadian91 "we got bigger younger and stronger and I think we Have a very good group of young players now. Trading away Roy, Ennis and Vanek was very difficult because they are all very good young players. But I think acquiring Landeskog, Tikhonov, Negrin, Stajan, Seimens, Rask, Rattie, Morris and Freisberg will help."

Hey, c'mon now, I still have Giordano, Sarich and Kostopolous

I went for the "quantity over quality" approach in most of my big trades, and while it stocked up this pathetic team, I am left with a large amount of players, and I believe Tarasenko/Erixon/Holos are ready to compete next year so I need to clear space for them.

 

[T_Cage]

Draft Done. Finally...lol

 

[Dr Pepper]

Nice work.

Pretty good. Adding Havlat should really help with scoring. Only thing I'm a little skeptical on is the goaltending.

 

[The Instigator]

Thin, thin, thin LW's.

 

[The Instigator]

I'd like to acquire someone. Good preferably.

 

[Addison Rae]

Untouchables:

Claude Giroux
Mike Richards
Chris Pronger

Everyone else could be had for the right price PM me

 

[Dr Pepper]

Matt Cullen remains on the block, looking for wingers and d-men.

 

[The Instigator]

SOMEBODY TRADE SOMEBODY!¡!¡!¡!¡






To me.

 

[T_Cage]

SOMEBODY TRADE SOMEBODY!¡!¡!¡!¡






To me.

Fine, i'll trade you Hainsey for Ovi....you don't have to shout

 

[The Instigator]

I'll give you his jock haha.

 

[The Instigator]

And before you ask, yes, it can play goal.

 

[RR]

Ohh, ok, just saw the second one now.

All is well.

Trade page should be fully updated now, methinks.

Sorry for the cluster**** on the trade page. Didn't have time to double check before having to bolt this afternoon.

It would be far easier to maintain that page if GMs paid ****ing attention to NTCs, NMCs and picks they actually own, and ones they've already traded away.

I'm looking at you, Ovarian007!

EDIT: Just reading through the thread and I must ask:

If any GM made a trade of a 1st or 2nd round pick AFTER I posted I was not running the draft and T_Cage was, why didn't you also copy him with the deal?

 

[The Instigator]

What! Raging Pejorative Slur! How could you betray me like this?

You sound like the guy who lets go of a sucker punch and, when caught, screams, "Who, me?"
