How could someone actually post something like that?

How could someone actually post something like that?

It is a proposal from a Leafs fan. Also, I have seen worse. Have you seen the threads where the Flyers traded pieces of value for Luongo? Or those Giroux trade threads at the beginning of last year? If you go back even farther, there are those Carter threads...yeah seems to link to the Leafs a lot.

Leafs fans are a different breed. They are amazingly delusional.

 

[Striiker]

Then they always play the victim as if all of HFboards is unfairly against them...

They've earned their reputation. It's a stunning combination of arrogant and delusional.

Them and Edmonton both lol they are the two most ridiculous fan bases on these forums when it comes to player values and trade proposals

There's everyone

Lundqvist only a 93?
karlson only an 89?
Giroux a 90?

Some of these don't make sense haha

 

[The Rage Kage]

That's all the ahl players

Some notable ones from the phantoms

Akeson - top 6 ahl forward potential (73 ovr)

Cousins - top 6 potential

Straka - top 9 potential

Heeter is on the team, Laughton and Stolarz aren't.

No Bellemare

From NHL 15:

Flyers 3rd Jersey CONFIRMED

 

[FLYguy3911]

Heeter is on the team, Laughton and Stolarz aren't.

No Bellemare

Heeter is a placeholder.

Laughton and Stolarz will be on their junior teams until they update the rosters. They need placeholders. Stolarz will also need to sign his waiver to be included.

Bellemare will be on Skellefteå until they update the rosters or he plays in the NHL.

I noticed Alt doesn't have an NHL contract.

I still wouldn't put it past the NHL to put a team in Vegas solely based on a massive expansion fee if the Toronto estimate of 1.2B has any merit. No way a team in Vegas would be able to afford paying the financing costs in the long run. Placing a team there would be extremely myopic and a cash grab....

Las Vegas has long been considered a potential expansion market and it has been said that it would be a feather in the NHL cap to expand there before the NBA does.

Still, a team in Las Vegas is far from a financial sure thing.

At least one-third of Las Vegas residents work at night when NHL games are played. Even with slot machines being added in private suites, it's unclear whether casinos would be willing to encourage visitors to leave the gaming tables for more than three hours to watch a game.

Las Vegas is also not a large U.S. TV market, meaning the team's local broadcast rights would not generate considerable revenue. (Las Vegas is the 42nd largest market, trailing Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Grand Rapids, Michigan; and Birmingham, Alabama.)

The latest U.S. census showed that in 2010, Nevada had the second highest increase in the U.S. poverty rate behind Florida. Las Vegas's $26,993 per capita income was less than the $27,334 U.S. average.

A recent NBA-commissioned survey found that a team in Las Vegas would not make a profit.

Financing Costs

The league allows team owners to borrow 50 cents for every dollar worth of equity. That means a buyer might borrow $600 million, based on a $1.2-billion purchase price.

Bank of America and Citibank are currently expand a league-wide credit facility to give each team a $100 million line of credit at low interest rates. An expansion team owner could borrow $100 million through that credit line and another $500 million from a bank. Assuming an interest rate of about 6 per cent, a buyer might have about $30 million worth of annual debt payments on the expansion fee alone.

If a new arena did not receive public funding, a further $24 million a year would be required to pay the interest on financing a $400 million facility. Then there are player costs of perhaps $70 million a year and coaches salaries, travel and other administration costs of as much as $15 million, giving a new owner some $140 million a year worth of expenses.

IDK if this was posted, but looks like NHL 15 will get some of the desired updates by October (5v5 online, draft, playoff mode, etc).

Last season started on October 1st cause of the Olympic break, but I think they should start the season not later than October 1st every year. In non-Olympic years that would get the regular season finished in early April, and the Stanley Cup Finals over with by late May or early June at the latest.

Feel a little dirty... picked 11th in my pool (out of 20) and Malkin was surprisingly still on the board... had to take him.

 

[kyuss]

You can't pass him up. Who else was available?

What did you take for a goalie?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

^

E-mail draft, so that's my only pick so far; we only have one goalie spot and I always take one late (categories favour goalies who play a lot, not necessarily those that are the best). Last year I took Varlamov in the last round; think I took Cam Ward in the round before and platooned them for a bit.

You can't pass him up. Who else was available?

10 guys picked before me:

Crosby, Stamkos, Getzlaf, Giroux, Tavares, Ovechkin, Perry, Benn, Seguin, Toews in that order.

Rotisserie Yahoo! pool with Goals, Assists, Points, Plus/Minus, Penalty Minutes, Powerplay Points, Shots on Goal, Faceoffs Won, Hits, Blocks, Wins, Saves, Save Percentage
