Treat your players well. Don't sign and trade too much, don't low ball them on initial offers, give them contract options, deal with them objectively and fairly. You can talk down a players value based on stats, sure, but do it politely and don't just slag on them. The mods seem to have done a very good job of balancing this. Look at it this way-if the way you're treating your players is poor enough the league notices, then this is the equivalent of all the players noticing, and then maybe this effects their decisions. So the players might treat you differently if you put a "highest bidder" notice on the GM message board than if you quietly work out a trade in private. That's always been how I've seen it, at least. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Could look at moving one of Martin Necas or Vitaly Kravtsov if a youngish NHLer of equal value were to be on the table. PM me and @Blue Jay 22 if interested. Could also look at moving prospects such as Logan Brown, Roland McKeown, Kiefer Bellows or Boris Katchouk and 2019/20 picks as well. Will only make a deal if it makes absolute sense with the direction of our team this year and into the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I want to make it clear that is was the Ottawa Senators of the NHL that was caught on tape trashing their management; It was absolutely not the Ottawa Senators of PUCK. They love their GM. He’s the best. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus had a lot of young forwards starting to play in the NHL, but no young D who were quite ready. So we started poking around for some waiver-ineligible D who were playing for good/decent teams, and managed to find a couple of deals worth making. Dermott hasn't started well this year, but I'm a big believer in the player, and think he'll have a solid future (especially next year, when the cap gets tighter in TO. Plus Toronto is a legitimate contender, so having a waiver ineligible player from them has an expected premium. He may not provide the hits/blocks to ever become an elite producer, but we expect he will be a valuable player for a long time. Seeler was a guy I've taken notice of recently. Doesn't produce a lot of offense, but his game style translates well for the Puck scoring system. And in with limited games played he seems to have passed guys like Pateryn and Prosser on the depth chart, so there may be more upside coming. Although I don't view Minnesota as a contender, they are playing quite well, so should at least be a 1st round playoff team. Talvitie was someone who I didn't want to give up, as he has been getting lots of accolades recently... but considering I snagged him with a 5th rounder less than 6 months ago, this is a terrific turnaround for value. Long-term I may regret moving him, but the window in Columbus is now. It's also nice to have a couple 2019 picks - yesterday I had none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I. Wasn’t eager to move Dermott but I get a good young D prospect and another strong forward prospect to fill my need in the right wing. I think me and D must have the most trades between two teams in this league lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Big night in Columbus. I guess the one benefit of having 5 injured guys is I could make room for the call-ups, and all chipped in, one even dominated: Barclay Goodrow - 14.5 points! Nick Seeler - 2.75 Matt Luff - 1.5 William Carrier - 1.0 If Goodrow has more games like that, I'll have a decision to make over the next 10 games, before his waiver ineligibility expires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inane Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Florida Panthers Update! Despite no starting goalie, Florida somehow sits in 6th place overall. Large part of the success is our depth, leading the league in overall games played by nearly 30 games. This is a good sign, and bad. Good, as mentioned the depth. Lots of pieces to move in and out with some young players getting games in the NHL like Gurianov and Forsbacka Karlsson, just recalled today. We're also 1st in the league in blocks and hits. Bad, overall, we're middle of the pack for fp/g and our goaltending. Neither is good or sustainable. Roster with all active players, current playoff players in italics. Lucic - Backstrom - Oshie Bertuzzi - Hyman - Wheeler Coleman - Kempe - Eberle Janmark - Sissons - Leivo Greenway - Acciari - Gurianov Zykov - Aston Reece Baertschi - van Riemsdyk on the IR Forbort - Gudbranson Vatanen - Hickey Lindell - Zaitsev Reilly Grubauer Bernier All that being said, I don't think the Panthers are able to compete in the playoffs this year. With a number of contracts up in 2019 we are re-assessing our position in the league--we're open to discussions on all players. We've had discussions around Wheeler, Zaitsev, Sissons, Hyman and others--they could all be moved. Hit me up for discussions. Looking for picks and prospects generally, but am open to a good hockey trade if it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Thrill Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The Flyers are listening to offers on Jack Campbell as we've struggled to find him playing time behind Vas. He's been playing razor sharp and is currently the starter in LA. We would be looking for a waiver eligible forward who is seeing minutes in exchange.

Master Mind Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Giroux proving last year wasn't a fluke. Folin's a beast putting up 4 fppg despite 0 goals/1 assist. DeMelo still putting up over 4 fppg. Thought eventually Halak would cool off but looks like he could be a starting playoff goalie. Everyone in NY firing on all cylinders! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
