Nuxfanabroad Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Proposing a little contest. We all see people propose a deal(some ARE pretty horrible!), to see the negative replies & potshots quickly following. So put yer $$$ where your mouth is! Who's the best armchair-GM 'round here?? Predict three trades that'll happen before the draft ends. Let's see who's got the biggest, clearest, crystal ball! predict both teams....30 pts pred 1 team involved...10 pts each player involved in deal...5 pts each pick predicted;whether 1st, 2nd or 3rd...10 pts # of total pieces in a trade....15 pts Any other good suggestions for such a competition? Willing to revise/adjust if you've got an interesting contribution. One stipulation, is that I'd say all three deals should involve different teams(for variety's sake). Well, I'll get this thing rolling... Deal 1...Burrows(retain 1.5), Hansen, Tanev, Markstrom & our 2015 1st(protected, if top-5, becomes 2016 1st) NYI-Strome & Reinhart. (Total-7 pieces) #2...STL-Tarasenko, Rattie, Shattenkirk, their 2014 2nd & 2015 1st. Flor- #1 pic, Pirri, & Howden (TTL-8) #3...PHI- Schenn, Laughton, Bourdon & 2014 1st PHX-OEL, 2015 2nd (TTL-6) note-someone forgets a team doesn't have a pick/that round..move it fwd a yr. Good luck!

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hilarious, you people. Just threw a few darts at an NHL dartboard. It's not important if the trades are poor..something to do while there's no PO's for us. Find it sort of interesting to imagine which teams might hook up & do biz(yeah I know, strange hobbies...). I now suspect avg people ENJOY criticizing about 12-15x MORE than creating or imagining things themselves. Kind of an hypothesis I wanted to test out here. Sadly I think this ratio is climbing with social media. Figured if 20 or 30 people guessed a few trades, 1 or 2 of us might actually get lucky & predict the future. Was going to fly the winner to the beaches of Hawaii, but alas, I've since changed my mind. All well & good..but remember y'all, stop being so critical of those who make longshot-predictions..it's good for conversation, is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
