I love fantasy hockey because of the thrill of the trade chase. The feeling out process for a manager that you haven't dealt with can be a little awkward and they may even get offended once or twice. However, once the awkward clicking and typing is over and you find a manager with a complimentary line-up hole, it just comes down to how the deed is done. Which complimentary player will seal the deal, or maybe they're not into multi-player deals? How to tease out the unknown player desires from complete strangers without letting them know I'm really into their team? Finally, when there has been enough back and forth action, they take the bait and accept my trade submission, I lean back from the computer completely satisfied (likely far more satisfied than them). And the best part is that the chase never ends! There is always a new and exciting team to pursue!
