A GM comments on recent trades done by other GM's.

[hedgehog337 3,483]

I have to admit I hit a rock bottom at doing point tasks now and instead of making a decent thread about GM's I'll have to go a cheap route. And make trade deadlines trades recap (outside of potential deals tomorrow since the theme week is over today). Cause this thing will qualify for an extra 6 TPE. I'm very sure about that heh. After all, these were done by GM's, right? And commentary being done by other half active GM since S74 which is me. I'll even tag managers in here to make sure I get my extra points. Thank you very much.

 

 

Trade #1:

 

receives:

S86 WAR 1st

 

receives:

S87 CGY 1st

 

Looks self explanatory.

 

* For @dlamb: basically he isn't interested much in this draft and instead is focusing on potential retool after S86.

 

* Same for @Ricer13, just for retooling following this season. Though I have little questions about this from their side. With the way EU conference is going I don't think Warsaw's pick will land higher than 13th overall. And who even knows what happens with Calgary next season. Also, isn't this even a plan how to get his bro Tina back into Calgary? Pretty sure he isn't going to be availabe at 13 or lower so in this case Ricer has to make maneuvers for making this happen. Or the reality is more simple: just grab more picks for this draft for a successful retool.

 

 

Trade #2:

 

receives:

Xavier Booberry

S86 LDN 3rd

 

receives:

David Davis

Juan Sano III

S86 DCD 2nd

S86 HSK 4th

 

Fresh put of the baking owen! Helsinki finally blows it up and will try to out tank Riga for the initial better lotto odds.

 

* Looking at the timing of both Helsinki trades I can say it wasn't @Rayzor_7 who sent these trades lol. Anyways, the fully loaded rebuild trigger has been pulled. Though I do have a question, was Boobery that cheap? That's tough. One of the league's best goalies wasn't even worth a first. I guess... that's the max Ray could get in this market. In fairness, pending FA status will do that to a price, even if a player is a world class. Mid to late second with a S83 prospect. To his credit, Denns came back once he took a commish job in SBA. However, I'm not sure if he really fits into the Helsinki timeline outside of being a transitional player. And then Davis who will most likely head to FA after this season so he doesn't even matter for Helsinki. Honesly, I was surprised the other Ray's todays trade partner wasn't trying to get Boob. Really weird moment.

 

* Not much comments from @Alex perspective. Davis was not being consistent enough hence the goalies swap. Boobery may elevate Davos to a more comfortable third place as for now thier record is rather middling and I don't think fighting for not being in wildcard was in Alex plans for this season. Neither Sano III was very essential to their future.

 

 

Trade #3:

 

 

receives:

Doug Britton

Reid Johnson

Tater Tottingham

S87 MAL 2nd

 

receives:

Cobalt Burns

Hammar Voss

S87 HSK 4th

 

Honestly when I saw the title first, Boobery to Malmo was my first guess. So I was kinda surprised to see this result.

 

* They could hope @Rayzor_7 can also sell Nesbitt and Florida Man, but for now, this is the end result of his firesale. Now this return makes more sense. Tater and Johnson are S85 prospects and Britton is S84. So they could make an impact for this franchise later on. Plus a S87 second which may as well as be at the mid region. By the way, another case of a pending FA status tanking the price of a player. This time, it was Hammar Voss. There were more questions about Burns, but looking at the update page I do see Ledge has fallen off a bit from earning lots of TPE. So I guess, Ray is fine with the assets he managed to grab this time.

 

* Now to @KaleebtheMighty and Malmo. Honestly, I'm not sure about the trade. Not really the price he gave. More like, were these positions most important for his team? Sure, they are being kinda mid so far so adding a good offensive option from the blue line is a cool moment. But I'm still really not sure why didn't he fight for Boobery. I don't think Tsezar is the man who can take this team far. Maybe Kaleeb's plan is to sign Davis later on so he kept the first round pick for the offseason trading. Also, questions about the longterm impact that Burns could make for Malmo. With his current TPE earning pace his role is never gonna be higher than depth two way option. Perhaps Malmo management is hoping Ledge finds his spark again and becomes something more than depth.

 

 

Alright, I guess that's it for today. No more trades so far.

 

That's it and I'm out.

Definitely had the other GMs send them to me that way I could pull the trigger on both at the same time lol
