Elite Keeper League 2019/2020 -[4 GM Positions Available]
J.I.A.H.N replied to Relyt Krets's topic in Fantasy Hockey
Hi Guys I would like to thank everyone that made proposals to me, I appreciated them very much I had several offers that were very close, and took some time to digest...... For those that were wondering I had 7 offers, and 2 suggested (but not officially offered) As a new GM, there are a few things I made mistakes on But hopefully I will learn. One thing, that I am weak on is receiving a weak offer and offending the other GM That is not my intention.....this is fun! and I want to keep it that way, for all! So, again, thank you for your submissions -

My Thoughts of the game...……... 1. I guess the first thing that makes me laugh is how, me and many others were so happy to, either not re-sign Edler or to trade him away...…… LOL, the old guy is doing pretty good! I think we should keep him! No, he looks great! 2. Miller...….What a smart player, great in tight, fearless, and a leader by example...…...I think it is what you want to see for your 1st round draft pick. 3...I was really impressed, how heavy of a game we played. Schaller, Beagle, Virtanen, Myers, Miller, Horvat, just to name a few...….To me this team is built for the long haul and playoffs..... 4. Demko, played well behind the team, that limited the chances, but it appears, we could have a goalie controversy .....I think it is a little premature to anoint him , but he looked solid. 5...I love Hughes.....he played a very sound, smart player, especially for a rookie, he made a couple of mistakes, but recovered in both cases and never really let the opponent get ahead of him 6. Pettersson and Brock, looked way better tonight...Like 3 points each, better! 7. Our PP looked much better tonite, aside from one shift, I give credit to Petey and Brock for that...…...I still think it is to static. 8. I can't really think anything good or bad about Ferland……..was he there? I guess not really for the Red Wings goal....he needs to improve He looks to the type of player that has pride and cares...….I will give him more time Myers is sure a beauty, hey! I love that little punch when getting up. Hank and Danny were shaking their heads...……..you know they were.... Well that is it for tonight.... A very enjoyable game! -

Things have changed a little bit since I made this club...... -
Well, I guess we are going to see how Thatcher plays now that Marky is on personal leave...... But, I just don't think trading Quinn away is a good idea..... Not to worried about Marky really, as he is going to slowly age out over the next 4 to 5 years, even if he is elite Which I do not think he is...……(for another time) Anyways, it is always something to think about
-
Thing is with the 1st....who's to say with Quinn and Marky and Ericksson, they don't do the St. Louis after getting 3 pieces? It could be CS (terrible GAA and Save %), Smith (good) and a 2020 17OA ……...not for Quinn by himself

I agree/I disagree The guys you mentioned are incredible, and its a good question But, the new sticks, superior skates and lighter and more supple gear, has made a huge impact, Deb, The new sticks, have created huge gains in velocity...like 10% in general (at least). The gear also dries, so quickly now, where it would still be wet, in back to back games, even just 30 years ago. I would also say training, nutrition, travel, sleep, all have a play in general performance. Even coaching systems have improved (which is good and bad) But, I think the difference is consistency...…...take Crosby, who is generally regarded as generational, by the new/younger fan. He is very good, and IMO, was the best in the league, at one time...no argument there...……….the difference is, there are many players today, that have caught him or are better now. It is not that he is not good, today, but there are better today. No one can really say that about generational players. The Orr's and Gretzky's, that I mentioned, were the best year to year, their whole career...……..start to finish, basically. Gordie Howe played 34 years of professional hockey, and was 52 when he quit...…...I seen him in about 1975, and he was still good. I am sure you have a different opinion, being a young woman and all...….but for us old guys, that is probably a general feeling about who is generational -

Well, I have been watching the NHL since 1965 In those years, I had the pleasure to watch some incredible hockey players My list of Generational hockey players during that time, is very short...……...M. Richard, Howe, Hull, Orr, Gretzky, Hasek and Mario Lemieux All of these players, could in any given game, dominate it to the extent, that every shift they played was dangerous, and there were multiple chances every shift When Gretzky and Lemieux, played against each other, it was incredible, play after play. Neither played on teams I liked, but both were obviously special, even amongst the other stars, they were stars. Hasek, had a GAA and Save percentage, that was not human, year after year, for 15 of them....his GAA was 2.20 and his Save% was approx. ,925. But to put that in better perspective, he played in an era, where goal scoring was rampant. All of these players changed the game in some way, or were so much better than the next guy, that they just stood out, consistently, year in, year out. Over their whole career.. I have not honestly seen any other players that compare, some very close.....Jagr, Bure, Brodeur, Roy, Crosby, all very good, all set themselves apart from their piers, but I never felt they reached that level, consistently, game in game out, for their whole careers..... Now, you may ask why Hasek, and not Roy or Brodeur, but they both played on very good teams, where Hasek played on crap teams, by and large. And neither Roy or Brodeur had as good of stats throughout their careers, again, even when playing on better teams. Maurice Richard, I can not remember seeing play, but he is regarded as elite, by all hockey experts...……...I will not argue that one! Sorry, but all the other players, including the recent ones, do not dominate, shift to shift, nor game to game, nor year to year. Personally, I hope to see more players of a Generational skill, and quite possibly it could be McDavid or Dahlen, but honestly, McDavid blends into the crowd of other superstars, and yes he is amazing. Dahlen, sure maybe, but ask me in 10 yes.
