The Canadian media still love him. :roll:

Folks -
EVERYONE is available on my team to the highest bidder. The trade deadline is fast approaching, so if you want to improve your team for the playoffs for a mere draft pick next season, it's first come first serve.

My team hasn't won a game since Thanksgiving (US) :chris18:

No shit, they are THAT bad.

:wookie:

Hey I made this same explanation in the league message board.

I was really surprised by this offer and thought Butch was fucking with me, but then saw that Hartnell is ranked ahead of Stamkos in our league because of PIMs, +/- and PPG. And White is ranked ahead of Burns because of +/-. So by our scoring categories this is a fair trade

You have to look at 'rank' which is actual value this year, not 'o-rank' which is projections coming into the season.

I assumed rank is a reliable quantitative metric. If not then by all means cancel/vote against the trade. I am good either way and definitely do not want to rock the boat.

But ya there was no conspiracy lol! :cthulhu:

I see no reason those two would work together. The current one based on rankings not so bad, just Butch being Butch and earning his last place position. Now the first one with the D-man swap I would have rejected had I notice it at the time but again don't think anyone was in cohorts just a really bad trade.

I saw the streit-for-boychuck as scrub for scrub. Streit isn't exactly lighting it up this year. But I am happy to reverse that too if people think it is unfair and it slipped by unnoticed. I don't want any hard feelings and as a former champion of this league I'd like to preserve the integrity of the OTPMP!

As I said I just see it as a bad trade but not shady. I had taken advantage of Butch in the earlier years of the pools and got grief for it as well so now I just avoid dealing with Butch. lol.

I look forward to his raging over this discussion....

Don't we all have the right to veto any trade that comes about?

I saw the Boychuk/Streit deal and thought for a second about vetoing it, but keep in mind Streit is putting up only modest offensive #s and has a God awful plus/minus, so I declined to do so. Didn't know about the Stamkos/Hartnell deal, but you can argue Hartnell is putting up better-than-usual numbers AND he racks up a lot of PIMs, making him a guy who can help you win in three different categories.

There's no reason for me to think this is collusion. Especially since I don't believe Hammer and Butch have ever actually met.

I will add though that we should be careful about "fire sales" in the $ league or any other fantasy league on here. I remember getting frustrated with my team a few years ago and announcing all of my players were up for grabs. My first trade was rejected and I got all pissy about it, but looking back I was in the wrong. I accepted the first trade proposal that came my way without even thinking about it. I don't think it's necessarily bad to announce you want to make trades, but saying your entire team is up for grabs makes for bad perception.

I'm in a 14 team keeper league pool that is 12+ years old where the winner gets $1500. Every year around christmas the fire sales start as guys rebuild for the next year, and every year there are uproars and scandals. This league is mostly guys who have been friends since high school and friendships have actually been ruined over fights regarding trades! :psyduck: But half the time the guy everybody thought got fleeced makes out like a bandit. For example last year I was offering Erik Karlsson around like a plate of hors d'ourves trying to improve my team for a run at the title and nobody wanted him, I eventually threw him in for a deal to get Mike Richards. Everybody freaked out. Richards let me down big time and EK is a superstar now. I would literally kill to get that trade back.

Look I admit I maybe got a little too bent out of shape but this is a nonplayoff team feeding a playoff team imo and it looks way uneven in my eyes,I vetoed both trades but not sure if anyone else did,What I see with these trades is one person benefitting as the other couldn't possibly gain anything,If this was a keeper league than I can guarantee you that neither of these trades would've even been considered imo

BTW I still urge everyone to veto the Stamkos deal as it is not a done deal yet.

Sorry gents, I have to side with Tuzer on this one. I voted against it, especially when I saw Brent Burns was being swapped for Ian White as well. Look, I get Burns isn't exactly Norris-caliber this year and White is enjoying being carried by Lidstrom this season, but that makes a questionable trade look worse than lopsided.

I urge both of you to cancel this transaction if our vetoes have not already.

As well if you look to the last thirty day ranking numbers it looks horrible.

I voted against it. It doesn't matter which way you slice it....Hartnell is not one of the top 5 guys in the league.

Butch is hitting the pipe.

Honestly; you folks are the ones hitting the crack.

This would be a horseshit trade it it was a real-life scenario. But it's not - it's a fantasy game, which cannot track the intangibles.

1) Hartnell is RANKED HIGHER than Stamkos
2) White is RANKED HIGHER than Burns

Based on the collective data over the course of the season thus far, Militia would be the prospective winner (albeit marginally) on this deal.

You have to look past the "goals, assists & points" catagories.

That's right! I'm the best!

Quite honestly I am surprised that you have not been more creative. Cash, gifts and Vermont Cheddar cheese can all be used to sweeten your trade offers.
