Pretty satisfied with the guys I managed to get. Tkachuk, Sorokin, Garland, Hill, Mete, Kolesar, and Lebanc. Still lots of work to do. LOTS. But I'd give my first draft a solid "B+". 17 hours ago, oldnews said: I don't doubt that at all - you simply weren't left a great deal to work with and I highly doubt anyone would look unfavorably on you as a GM if you chose to crack some eggs and trade any or everyone on your roster. Your prerogative of course - just my opinion on the need of GMs to be 'loyal' to their fantasy assets or ensure 'stability' or 'security' where that could get in the way of rebuilding a franchise. Most of those assets were not acquisitions of yours - I don't think anyone could reasonably expect you not to trade anyone under the circumstances. Oh absolutely. Most of the offers I got were for one B prospect, or a combination of C prospects. At that point, I couldn't in good conscience dress even more non-roster players than I already have: Pavelec Ramo MacArthur Lander Nelson Vey Fayne Honka That is beyond ridiculous.

That's tough to work with for sure. You'd probably have to deal your best assets to get multiples to fill holes and that may not interest you. If you turned around and did what some GMs do - ie something right against the grain of your word (of your internal deadline) - and dumped that MarshRat when he's least expecting it (after the reassurances of your deadline) - I doubt anyone here would be too concerned about holding you to your word lol. Might get a few high fives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a GM that free agents should want to play for. Monty will have approximately 17 million to work with in the offseason and a massive amount invested in players relations. Good luck trying to outbid him. stick to your guns, Monty Well, that's a bit confusing?! Care to share how many trades you made in your 1st six months bud? I believe it was somewhere over 40 (no, no exxagerating)? Lol. All my years here, I'll tell you some collective wisdom tid bits about free agency: - after the UFA's and trades are done, LOTS of teams will have tens of millions to spend - no matter how much you spend, you have to have the best spot/fit for the player - I've never seen a team 'clean up' in the free agent season. It just doesn't happen. High PR MIGHT get you a leg up on one or two deals... - the players have to be available... I once signed 'top talent' because I was rebuilding a messed depleted roster... Wojtek Wolski, Drew Stafford and one less interesting that summer... All were 'best available', all over-priced and all required clauses due to bidding. Those signings crippled my team for years, but I left myself no choice. Basically, good luck buildin a team with over priced spare parts. That was my basic premise.

Thanks! Believe these transactions still need to be inputted into Pickup, no rush at all just trying to remind myself what my roster looks like. Still looking at moving Ryan Strome and Calvin De Haan for playoff players, let me know if interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby18_ Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Ugh. More injured bodies. 7 at the moment. The slide continues in Montreal, and it's getting tough to sit here and watch it happen. Still, the toes we dipped into the trade market had us finding nothing other than expensive band-aids. Some health is majorly required for the Habs, but we're not going to overpay just to find some temporary relief from this injury bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply admired Monty's willingness to stick to his guns. It seems Monty put lines in the water for the 9-10 good assets he has and found the potential return not to his liking. Perhaps you thought my admiration was an endorsement of his strategy, it is not. I just appreciated he set a strategy and stuck to it instead of randomly making trades and hoping for the best. Both Monty and I inherited similar circumstances and each of us had some variables to deal with, like having bad goaltending. However based on my conversations with Monty, I am sure he will be damgerous competitive team in a couple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeak Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 We are just at a part of the season, where a lot of teams are in the mix. Someone like myself is in a playoff spot - and could go either way. That affects my decisions going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
