  1. startz tumaro? iz alreedy start.
  2. Hey, make sure you give Kyrie a couple of games, I know it means I'd sit but the guy definitely deserves a chance to play.
  3. I also know who Ryan is on SHL. Fact of the matter is, both Ryan and Stark are welfare guys from other leagues (Stark is Turner from USFL) so the fact that Ryan is Keenan doesn't really hurt me here.
  4. Stark is basically Ryan advanced a couple years, which puts him on the roster now instead of still in the minors (plus by the time we need to replace him, we'll have the pieces to do so, and he's not really active enough to worry too much about where his peak coincides with the team's peak). S41 2nd is basically just the catalyst that allowed the jump, and to be honest what's a mid-late 2nd really do these days? Accept, and welcome to the team Turner!
  5. I like him better than what I felt I could get in the mid-1st next year, sure. Keep in mind that with TOR not having a goalie and QUE being, well, QUE, we're as good as in the playoffs - especially if I pick up a couple more pieces. Nykvist is probably about a 5 or 6 pick in most drafts, he only went to 9 because of the depth of this one. I get him for what'll probably be a 5 or 6 pick next year, and I get 12 this year in addition. Plus, never underestimate first-gens, they'll surprise you. Nykvist seems like he'll be one of the top guys in this class by the time everything is done.
  6. With the 24th overall pick the Calgary Wranglers select Dan Cooper

  13. Creating A Rift (the Rift FA, what factors led up to it, what dominoes fell afterward because of it)
  14. It might actually be time to crown the new VHLM GM dynasty. Early-mid 20s were me and Coach, you seem to have actually outdone us both.
  15. I know something that will happen shortly and you are likely unaware of it
  16. Arce is the epitome of downward trajectory. Goes from a HOF player to coming on periodically and creating career VHLMers, to not even doing that. If only he was a roller coaster, he'd be back up to this level in no time.
  17. I think the thing that hurts your case is the fact that Kristensen and White are two of your more recent players, in comparison. If, say, Beketov and Young were the weaker ones and Kristensen and White had their track records, you'd likely be up with Higgins. The debate is basically whether Chekhov is enough for GMs to believe you're fully back when the two before that were less than stellar. In a thinner draft, it wouldn't be an issue, but do you take a boom or bust player whose boom is 10 (on a scale of 1-10) and whose bust is 5, or do you take a more consistent player who'll almost always be in the 7-8 range? That said, I didn't believe it at the beginning of the season or even midway, but I'm actually starting to believe more and more that you'll be good. I've often avoided players such as you, because of the increased value the league has often put on recreates (and won't take you at 2 solely because I have a dire need for defense) but depending on what happens in trades between now and the draft, I would certainly consider you a possibility. Chekhov was continually good the whole way (activity-wise, anyway) and as a forward, you'll have more opportunity.
  18. So Brazil scored the second most goals of the semifinals teams...
  19. This is going to be weird, but I have a friend named Graper. Actual name, not nickname.
  20. I've already posted, back on page 8. I originally typed "bacon page 8" and had to go back and correct it. Freudian slip?
  21. Yeah fuck you guys for getting Lallana
  22. Ours sucks worse, but we clean it up and get it done before he does, most of the time. Fuck budgets though, that shit is mostly auto here, except the extensions themselves. If you're not last, you're first (and no, that's not serious). Our budget does suck, I just don't care enough to fix it. Budgets are one of the reasons I wanted to give Ocho the team, I have actual work too often to want to do work for fun.
  23. not being Syckez ftw
  24. Ocho wants me to be there, I just said that. Reading comprehension ftw.
