In a move that caused people to browse a topic for 17 seconds, GIYGAS was recently traded from the New York Americans to the Cologne Express in exchange for a second round pick. This marks the third time GIYGAS has changed teams in his career, as New York looked to move forward in their goal of winning the Continental Cup and simply did not have the cap space for the playmaking center. Following a second consecutive season topping 40 assists, GIYGAS moved onto a young team in transition with the deal, and had a hard time containing his excitement about playing with the current centerpiece of the Express roster.

"He's done some good things in his career," GIYGAS said of David Collier in his unveiling press conference. "He had career highs in goals and points last year, at any level, but my goals this year are to get him past 50 goals and 100 points. He has the talent for it, I just need to get him the puck." At this stage in his career, GIYGAS understands he's nobody's idea of a sniper (although he did log a career high 28 goals this past year), but it'll be interesting to see how he handles first line duties in Cologne, his first stop in the European Conference.

Yeah, sounds about right. My activity tends to wane here because of the Nazi state of graphics grading I've observed lately, but I'll try my best to get some sigs in.

As far as the long term, what's my role on this team? I'm considering retiring GIYGAS at the trade deadline, but I don't want to do that if it'll hurt the team in any way.

I'm not trying to make the worlds greatest player like Reik. Just trying to make a specific player build. If I get 80 points in a season? Cool. But I better get it because I have 60 goals and 20 assists. Ha. I'm not trying to make a sniper specifically either. Power forward type player. I don't want to add any to passing because I want to play this build. You know me I don't like how so many players in this league end up so alike. So having little to no passing attribute, being a good skater, having a good shot, playing good defense and hitting all over the place is my priority. Appreciate the advice though.

Also Boom things go alright. Drinking a coffee, determining plans for the day. Have a job interview next week so hopefully that goes well.

I do agree with you about builds always essentially coming out the same, but people have tried ignoring one part of the decision making formula with disastrous results. I think one of Edgar's guys with ~90 scoring, 40 passing and about 400 TPE had something like 25 points in a full season.

We heard you the first time you pushy bastard!

It was such good advice I had go give it twice!

I don't ever add to leadership as a primary stat anyways. I plan on getting it to 70 and no higher with Laich but seasons down the road. My build ideas right now are basically all about the decision making formula anyways. Ideally what I'm looking for before I get any stats to the 99's is to get Scoring, Checking, Defense all to 90 and Strength to 85. I want to get Skating to 80 as well. I plan on keeping passing relatively low the entire career. We'll see about discipline Sterling but people have added to it previously and seen their hit totals go down. So while that isn't exactly full proof evidence, it has happened.

But I want to get the majority of that stuff done before I look at getting leadership up so. We certainly have a very interesting make up of forwards for this team though. Tons of defensive first forwards, good mix of hitting and discipline as well as scoring/passing. Probably plays a big reason why we are doing so well in the sim thus far.

Also Boom listen to Sterling more so than the rest of us ha. While it is nice to have tons of experience with the sim on this team, Sterling has the most of us I'd venture to say.

If it helps re: passing, I'll just say that Reik never performed too well with passing too low. I'd keep it at the lowest if you want it to be the lowest part for him to consider with the decision making formula obviously, but if the others are around 95 or so I'd have passing at at least 80, for example, because even though I wanted Reik to be a sniper I also wanted him to get over 80 points a season.

The Giants are making a lot of really quality, intelligent signings and THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME.

I personally think they're gonna regret the DRC signing but otherwise yeah.

yeah I completely missed that signing but still a little worried about it.

Being a Jets fan I was jealous of the signing. Schwartz has bounced around the league so that's truncated his value but after Arthur Jones I saw him as the most underrated free agent this year. The draft is fairly deep on centers so if the Giants draft an OT in the first round and then a center in the third or fourth they can jump right back to playoff contention.

Glad the Giants are signing some good CB but the offensive line still looks terrible... I doubt they finish any better that 7-9 if that

Geoff Schwartz was a fantastic signing. If Will Beatty can play up to his talent level, the team can draft a Taylor Lewan or a Jake Matthews, shift Pugh inside and then their line will be fine.

I'd call us a 3-4 with a slight 4-3 tendency. It seems as though we have no clue what we are seeing as though our D has sucked for so long. We want to bring in an Elephant package this year though so who knows how that will work out. Raji will play NT this year though and they may rotate Pickett in (if he signs). I see it as this:

Neal - Raji - D. Jones

Peppers - Hawk - B. Jones - Matthews

You watch the Packers a lot more often than I do. Do they only play Mike Daniels when they run 4 man fronts or did he play frequently with 3 down linemen? He was great last year and I see him as a key breakout piece to this Packers D this year.

How in the fuck am I leading the team in goals and tied for the lead in points?

God dammit Revis. Went from my favorite player to Public Enemy #1 in a year.

The Raiders are officially (still) the stupidest team in the NFL. They let Veldheer go for $37 mil then sign the solid-but-unspectacular and always hurt Saffold for $5 mil more, and to cap it all off by picking up a lineman who wasn't gonna get any better than 1 year $2 mil from any other team for 5 years $30 mil. I thought Reggie McKenzie knew what he was doing, but he's quickly proven to be the worst GM in the NFL in just one day.
