my team started off great in the first half last week projected to finish in the 440's. Then they decided to go on All Star break early in the second half of the week and not even finish in the 400's lol.
0-5 start absolutely destroyed me
you're still fighting for the playoffs, though.
And like Kenny always said, anything can happen in the playoffs!
Ya just no wiggle room. Gonna be tight down the stretch. And like Kenny always said, anything can happen in the playoffs!
i'm glad yahoo wants to make sure you press the right button in the trade window. i almost accepted your offer XD I'm afraid i'm a "yes" sayer
Hey all, remember our next matchup is 2 weeks due to the all-star break.
kuemper close to return, now ulmark goes down...
@Winger98 got value from Bernier. It's not that hard, Yzerman!
If he doesn't pull back at least a Brannstrom level return for Bernier I'll be greatly disappointed now.
i had to overpay a little....
Jokes aside, I do like this trade.
It's just smart asset management. On paper you "overpaid" from a value standpoint, but as soon as a player is injured for the year and not on the short keep list, you're looking at a dead asset. Get value from someone that wants that player and has another expendable piece.
Solid win-win for both parties. One gets immediate help, the other gets help next year.
We also don't really know the value of prospects in our league. I mean, part of my gamble here is that either Ottawa will keep Brannstrom down so he doesn't play more than 50 games, or we allow these guys to be kept through the draft and the NA/Prospect requirement to be met only by the start of the actual season. If Brannstrom (and Zadina) end up playing enough to break 50 games, I'm not sure either make a keeper list. The deal could easily end up being Hertl for next season for Bernier for this season.
Vilardi still doesn't have NA status.
