Because this morning when I woke up I see a trade offer of mine accepted, that I can\'t believe I would have made. Mostly because I would think it would be never accepted. My Leclaire for his Luongo. Things that make you go hmmmm.

Guess who just became a huge Canucks fan.

wow.....

Normally I am sure that would be Wow - good! but I am not so sure these days.

I have become the master of grabbing underachievers and perhaps I have gone overboard. In the last little while I have acquired Hossa, Afinogenov, Elias, Visnovsky and Luongo. Presently a downgrade for what I have given up in Hagstrom, Kane, Williams, Leclaire, Kopitar, Salo. Somehow managed to dump Wolski for EJ in all this - not sure what that was about.

Sigh - may the force be with me.

Be confident buddy! I\'m not sure about Afi and Elias, but Luongo and Hossa should definitely be back on track shortly. Give them a bit of time and you\'ll see.

Oh I am not unhappy with my roster - actually the Luongo move is the only one I think might bite me in the butt - but Daddy Dobber thinks Leclaire is going to go down sooner or later and Luongo is just such a horse.

Is Leclair going down or not, I really don\'t know. But you got who should be one of the best goalie (if not the one) in the league.

Yeah I don\'t know - Leclaire certainly has an injury history and how bad can it be to own Luongo anyway - it\'s is a points league which is probably the most favorable situation to bring him into.

Now that I have Nabbie, Kipper and Luongo, I am beginning to wonder if I can get all my games in with them and let Budaj go. He certainly has some trade value in our league. Have to think on that.

This guy is starting to slide off the pace and Leclaire is posting big points beside Luongo so I figured what the heck worth a shot. He had enough of Luongo\'s numbers - he has him in a roto league as well where he is killing him so generally he is down on him. Just a strategic shot in the dark.

Dude, by the end of the year I think you\'ll be smiling about this trade.

Vancouver will improve, like they did last season. How long can this Columbus team keep winning in their division? They are one injury away from a bottom 5 finnish.

If I were you I would dump Budaj now, if you\'re concerned with max games played Luongo and Kipper are good for 70 a piece. Budaj\'s trade value is high at the moment while they are winning, I think you could pick up a decent forward for him.
But, when he starts losing look out. I had Budaj as an IR replacement, short term he freakin\' sucked points right out out of me, ended up minus 50 points or so before I dropped him. It\'s always good when the guy you pick up is work than a guy on the IR....
