  1. Gotta admit, I forgot he was a rookie He definitely deserved some attention, he's been really good.
  2. After reading TMs assessment, I can't help but picture you like this:
  3. This means that either he didn't think much of me and was impressed, or pictured me as super awesome and was disappointed.
  4. 50 I did add them to pickup, but they probably won't show up until tomorrow.
  5. 2013-14 CDCGML Award Winners! Full Voting Results
  6. Hmmm... I'm still up... and it's technically morning. To do the awards now, or wait til after sleep....?
  7. I think part of that is that it seems that for the Masterton, it seems to be the next year where they get the recognition, after they've made the return from their adversity. I'd bet that if Letang continues to recover and plays the bulk of next year at a high level he will get a lot more consideration.
  8. Draft lottery in only 4 days! It's driving me nuts not knowing where I'm going to pick
  9. Wow... one award was decided by ONE voting point!
  10. Also, I will be going over the future considerations I have on file and getting as many taken care of as possible in the next few days.
  11. Okay guys, votes have been counted, and here are the 3 finalists for each of the awards (in alphabetical order). Winners will be posted in the morning! I will also post the full voting results tomorrow. Selke Trophy Patrice Bergeron (NYI) Anze Kopitar (NJ) Jonathan Toews (FLA) Lady Byng Trophy Ryan O'Reilly (DET) Martin St. Louis (LA) Tyler Seguin (NYI) Bill Masterton Trophy Manny Malhotra (FLA) Dominic Moore (NSH) Paul Ranger (PIT) Calder Trophy Nathan McKinnon (CAR) Sean Monahan (COL) Ondrej Palat (TB) Norris Trophy Duncan Keith (ANA) Alex Pietrangelo (VAN) Shea Weber (WPG) Vezina Trophy Ben Bishop (SJ) Tuukka Rask (NYI) Semyon Varlamov (EDM) Ted Lindsay Trophy Sidney Crosby (WPG) Ryan Getzlaf (OTT) Claude Giroux (BUF) Hart Trophy Ben Bishop (SJ) Sidney Crosby (WPG) Ryan Getzlaf (OTT)
  12. Off to work now. Voting for the awards will close at 12:00pm noon Pacific time tomorrow. I'll post the finalists for each award tomorrow night and the winners on Saturday morning.
  13. I can't bring myself to cheer for Phoenix. Or Mike Smith. Go Preds!
  14. WAIVERS: The Ottawa Senators have claimed Nick Schultz from Philadelphia via waivers.
  15. WAIVERS: Chris Vandevelde (PHI) has cleared waivers and been assigned to the minors.
  16. WAIVERS: The Philadelphia Flyers have claimed Cory Emmerton from St. Louis via waivers.
  17. On the subject of trades, the Winnipeg Jets will be moving a few pieces who will remain unnamed at this point, preferably before the draft. These players will only be available to teams outside of the playoff picture. Open to trade discussions at any time. Just because trades can't go through yet doesn't mean we can't work towards one.
  18. Up to you to submit votes, so if you leave out an award, that's up to you.
  19. Correct, once the regular season is over, trades are allowed. If a team or player is still involved in the playoffs, the trade will not be announced until both the team and player have finished their season.
  20. Quick post regarding the awards. Teams can now submit their votes for awards by PMing me their top 3 selections for each of the following awards. Frank J. Selke Trophy Lady Byng Memorial Trophy Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy Calder Memorial Trophy James Norris Award Vezina Trophy Ted Lindsay Award Hart Trophy Submit your top 3 for each award, in order. Votes will be tallied on the weighted system I mentioned the other day and the finalists will be announced on Apr. 11th or 12th, with the winners being posted on the 13th or 14th. Remember you cannot vote for players on your CDCGML team.
  21. 1. Outright bonus points, no. But how many points did the Capitals gain in the standings because of some of those goals (most likely on the powerplay...)? How many extra points in the standings does a team have thanks to Selke type performances from a certain forward, or how many Norris Trophy caliber plays by a defender resulted in a win for a team where they otherwise may have lost? How many extra points did a team like Columbus last season get due to Sergei Bobrovsky's Vezina caliber season? That is the type of impact that those players have. It reflects throughout the year. Because the structure of our game is as it is, we cannot award those contributions in a tangible way without handing out points for those awards. That is what the awards are designed to reflect. 2. An interesting thought to discuss in the offseason perhaps. 3. I disagree. I think it adds an interesting twist and adds to the intrigue of the end of the season. We've had the awards every year since the game started. It has never once decided a division champion, and only once has it gotten a team into the playoffs and bumped another team out. Also, bias suggests that the outcome is fixed in some way and I strongly disagree with that. My votes for the Calder, Vezina, Hart etc. would be the same regardless of what CDCGML team they played on, and in the past the votes I have received from other GMs reflected the same. The weighted points system offers balance for the few GMs that might vote for a player specifically because of what team it may benefit or work against. That's also why teams cannot vote for their own players, to try and remove any potential bias. We've also removed past awards that are very subjective, like the King Clancy award. In real life it's a great award to have, but in this game it serves no real purpose and it will not be included in the voting.
  22. Going to work on this in the morning. Quick rundown: Teams will PM me their 3 choices for major awards via secret ballot. The list of awards will be in the full post tomorrow morning. Teams can not vote for players on their roster. I will tabulate all the awards votes (1st place vote = 5 points, 2nd place vote = 3 points, 3rd place vote = 1 point) and post the three finalists for each award on April 10th or 11th, whichever I'm home from work. The award winners will be announced on either the 13th or 14th.
