CDC STHS Hockey League (Season 3)
TheRussianRocket. replied to *VaNcOuVeRCaNuCkS*'s topic in Fantasy Hockey
No Ari, "[you] were talking about" my team; not sure why you said "we" as if more than 1 people were and nice comeback, made a lot of good points with that post.. -

I still don't think you quite fully understand the meaning of 'rebuild' but hey, whatever floats your boat. You're probably one of those guys who said the Oilers sucked when they rebuilt - talk about stating the obvious captain obvious... And since when were more than 1 people talking about my team? 'You' we're talking about my team, not 'we' as in more than 1 people. ...I think you should learn how to talk without your emotions kicking in and using some basic logic next time instead of making an ignorant post while making an ass out of yourself... -

Also, I'm actually 3rd last in my conference and 5th last in the league...think you may have gotten mixed up with another team. -

...a rebuild usually means you tank and get your youngsters to get NHL experience and improve from within and the draft; I think I've done a pretty good job alongside Nail doing that and our youngsters have been producing. Don't know what your meaning of rebuild is but I'm pretty content with mines.. -

My farm team is practically my NHL team after I bought up all the top prospects....it's doing pretty well to say the least : p -

2nd game a 2-1 loss but Burakovsky with a goal and Drouin with a helper; guess that's enough to keep them together. Now here's the awesome news. 3rd and final game, a 5-1 win. Cue the stats: Burakovsky with an assist, Bennett with a goal, Drouin with a goal and an assist, Turris with an assist, Ferraro with an assist, and Grimaldi with 2 goals and an assist. Couldn't be pleased enough of what the youth has done since post trade deadline. Here's an overview of what the kids have done in 6 Games Played since being called up kick starting the rebuild: - Drouin: 3 Goals, 2 Assists. - Bennett: 3 Goals, +3 Rating. - Ferraro: 1 Assist, +3 Rating. - Doherty: 1 Assist, averaging most ice time per game. - Turris: 1 Goal, 1 Assist. - Dillon: 1 Assist, logging 2nd most minutes. - Burakovsky: 1 Goal, 1 Assist. - Grimaldi: 3 Goals, 2 Assists. - Markstrom: 133 saves on 145 shots, with a .917 save percentage. The youngsters have proved thus far that the rebuild was the right move to make and it's been a great success. With the way the youngsters have been producing - especially the likes of Drouin, Grimaldi, Bennett, and Burakovsky - I'm really looking forward to them potentially getting some honours such as stars of the week and rookie honours. Really hope the trend continues and that the consistency remains put. ....Great things are in store with the future of the Sharks! -

Was thinking of doing that but thought I'd rather have a duo of Drouin and Burakovsky around Zajac...2 too prospects around Travis wouldn't hurt. So far Drouin has been on fire but Burakovsky has been shockingly quiet. Maybe it's because there's too many shooters? Idk, but depending on the other 2 games results tonight, I'll see if a lineup change should be needed. -

And the common theme keeps on going...another loss, but youth produce. Grimaldi with a goal and Dillon with a helper. -

As redundant as this is getting, can't be pleased enough for what the youth is doing in San Jose. 3-2 loss, but Turris nets his first as a Shark, Bennett scores his 2nd goal in his first 3 games in the NHL and Doherty gets his first point being a helper. Also a rare and big 3 games in a row coming up. Will be interesting to see how the young squad responds to it and see if they can handle the pressure and still produce. -

Drouin with another goal...2 goals in 2 games on the top line. Also, rookie Grimaldi with an assist...3-1 win, solid as long as the youth keeps on rolling -

Great beginning for the youth in San Jose. Although a 3-2 loss. Drouin gets his first career goal in his first career game on the first line and Beau Bennett with the other goal also in general in his first big league game. Youth producing is all I could care about. Great start. -

I'm most certain it will be...VC just forgot or something cause he did approve the deal and it was then sent in. Myself, Nail, and Disaronno were all in the message as witnesses so I'm pretty confident VC will put it in. -

Also, a note to VC and all GM's in STHS: VC hasn't implemented the Gunnarson trade yet so he's still on my roster. As I was making the lines and calling up my prospects to the NHL, there wasn't enough room as I had too many players so I've waived a few. One of them includes Carl Gunnarson. Please do not claim him as it might cause complications after VC implements the deals so yea, just wanted to give a heads up. Thanks! -

New Sharks Lineup ~ Post-Deadline: Drouin - Zajac - Burakovsky Bouchard - Turris - Grimaldi Ferraro - Bolland - Bennett Caputi - Desharnais - Tlusty Quincey - Doherty Demers - Dillon Martinez - Petry Markstrom Griess ** Red = Young promising players ** As you can see, a lot of youth has been injected into the Sharks lineup after the multiple deals that were made on deadline day and the rebuild has been kick started. San Jose is very pleased to have acquired the talents of Kyle Turris. Nail and myself believed it was essential to acquire a young centre to mesh with the youth talent we would injected into the lineup post deadline and seeing the lack of young centres, we went for it and got a great centreman in return. Zajac's leadership and experience is something else and we've given him the role to help develop his new linemates, Jonathan Drouin and Andre Burakovsky - 2 top end prospect wingers. Not to mention, San Jose has added on a number of picks in this years draft and as of now, the Sharks have: 1 1st round pick, 2 2nd round picks, 4 3rd round picks, and 2 5th round picks. Also just a a side note, San Jose also has 3 1st round picks the year after. We hope this is the beginning to a new era here in San Jose and one that will pay dividends as time goes on. Bring on the youth movement. -

And that's the last of it folks for trade deadline 2014. San Jose picks up more picks and adds on to the youth movement. #ImNotEvenMad -

Unfortunate, San Jose had finalized a deal but will not be put through due to it simply not being sent in on time. However, another deal has been approved and will be posted shortly. ...hopes are the trade which hasn't gone through will be completed come off-season. -

Yea, what VC said I'm aware I am GM. Nail made the decision himself to demote himself to AGM and make me GM due to him being busy and less active. There was no pressure put on him at all to make that move but he made it for the best of the team. He is very much involved in the transactions we make and whatever I hear he hears and vise versa. -

Content with the deadline moves Nail and myself made. Here's an overview of what happened and might have 1 or 2 more deals complete depending on if it'll be allowed - ...phone just never got back on CDC. OUT : PA Parenteau, Jonathan Cheechoo, Justin Williams, Shea Theodore, 2015 5th. IN : Kyle Turris, 2015 2nd, 2015 2nd, 2015 3rd, 2015 3rd, 2016 1st. ...very pleased with the youth movement we've worked towards after today and maybe 2 other deals can be made too.
