Aw man, I could've had Malkin on this squad? Boo-urns to whoever made that deal... (I'm the owner of your old team now I guess, re-named to the Cleveland Barons).

Thanks man, no worries, I want some of whatever the other owner was smoking when he made that deal haha... The loss of Grier and Cooke helps explain why the team was almost dead last in PIM when I took it over.

Hey guys,

Just a heads up, I will be away from a computer until Thursday evening as I am heading out of town to work in the bush, just in case it makes it back to my 2nd round pick before than.

Hey guys,

Just a heads up that I will be away from the computer for a bit, I'm moving from Vancouver to New York tomorrow morning. I've written down my time slot for my second pick, and will make sure to turn up for that, but I could be a couple of days getting things sorted out once I arrive in my new city.

Happy drafting, make sure to leave me someone off my want list!

I might be wrong here but shouldn't we take Vasyunov off the available list after he passed away in the Lokimotiv plane crash earlier this week?

I didn't even know he was on the team. I've taken him off our draft list. Thanks Deaner.

I did the trade and it took the team from near the bottom in the division the year before to one of the top teams in the division. PIM was a MASSIVE issue with that roster, but I was able to bulk up tons of other areas with the trade and it led to a much stronger team.

I can see why you might not think it was very good, but that particular league has all sorts of factors that need to be considered.

Strong defense are almost impossible to acquire, and Frolik was expected to produce MUCH better than he actually did.

I spent literally tens of hours crunching numbers and that trade put the team into promotion status in the short term, and as you can tell, still needs some wizardry in the longterm to make it a top tier team.

Good luck with it, it's a tough league.
