GM Game 5 Discussion Thread

[Peter Griffin]

I was thinking about making NTCs a thing next game. I’d need a couple co-commish though. I haven’t given too much thought about next game though except if there’s enough interest in a new one.

I can help run another one if there’s interest.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

I’m down to help as an agent can also run the draft if needed

 

[BumDum]

Place Matt Calvert on waivers!

 

[hockeynorth]

Yeah

 

[Gecklund]

Alright let’s start voting tonight at 6PM EST/3 PM PST. If anyone has any problems with this let me know SOON. I am fully willing to switch it back. Just doesn’t seem like there’s much activity today.

Last call for cap help: NYI can take on roughly five million.

I'll be putting up a voting thread with rosters at 6PM EST/3 PM PST (in 2 hours). Make sure rosters are fully updated in the rosters thread by 5:30PM EST/2:30PM PST (in 1.5 hours), and if you have a change to be made after that time you must DM me on some platform. I won't be checking the roster thread after that time.

 

[Panda Bear]

NJD last ask for a young RD. Trade bait includes Miles Wood at 50% retention.

 

[flyersdad]

have roughly 6 mil in cap space if anyone needs help.

When you send me your votes please list them by division with the best team at the top, worst team at the bottom.

 

[BeLeafing]

At this point rosters are set. Any more changes must be DMed to me.

This was fun.

NYI improved its depth (https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1792901), but it's merely a playoff team rather than a contender. Its prospect cupboard is pretty barren too, but it's going to be even harder to play against than the 18/19 and 19/20 iterations.

I feel like I knocked it out of the park with NJD (https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/1792257). Even the long-term contract outlook aligns almost perfectly with the end of Hughes' ELC with a safety valve in buying out JVR's contract if Seattle doesn't select him for the expansion draft. The defence is way better now than it was before, and the team has a young core of centres around Hischier-Hughes-Patrick-Zacha.

NJD should be really good in 2021/22.

Holy hell the Pacific is so bad that my Arizona team who sold off OEL and Raanta should probably make playoffs. Yikes.

Sorry for the inactivity. Was planning to be active over the weekend and then I got absolutely slammed with work Friday afternoon.

Feel free to ignore the Nucks when voting. My bad.

The Pacific divsion is so weak and combined with Calgary re-building in this game, your Canucks might actually make the playoffs.
