OHL Trading

Post by B. Stinson »

For anyone managing in the OHL, I have a question. How has trading gone for you?

I ask, because I just went through the trade deadline mayhem with a bunch of offers and stuff to deal with. I came out with a handful of trades that I negotiated and submitted back to the team... but I never got any reply back, and now I'm passed the deadline. I did get a bunch of offers after some of the negotiations, but I don't recall any of them being from the teams I negotiated with, and I know none of them even resembled the negotiated offers I gave them.

So here are my two conclusions from this experience, which I'm hoping can be confirmed or denied from your feedback: Either A: Teams don't reply after you negotiate one of their offers. Or B: Teams seriously demolish your negotiations beyond all recognition even if they said they could consider the offer.

Anyone get anything like this happening?

P.S. I just read through my messages, and it turns out that two of my negotiations bounced because the deadline has now passed. So it looks like it's a matter of teams not even recognizing that the deals have to be done before the deadline. :(

Yea that has happened to me in both the O and the NHL. I have not gone back to my OHL game, but in the NHL all I do to avoid that is remember when the deadline day is. Then the nite before I re offer any trade offers I had out there, and get immediate response. I figured this out by trial and error. Not sure if it works in the O as not tried, but I would assume the nite before is an immediate response to trade proposals. Let me know so I know for future if you find out.

I play in the Q but I have to say that I always get at least a response from the other team!!
Sometimes they offer u back some crazy stuff (like when u offer X for a 4th round pick and they offer u back X and a 2nd round pick for their 4th round!!!) but I usually get a response.

What I do is trade "early" that means that I try to set my team about three or four days before the trade deadline, just in case of, because it also happend to me that a trade falled through because it passed the deadline.

Yeah it's the carry-over negotiations that you get locked out of usually. The reason is that the team is still responding on the normal schedule from when you offered it so if they were going to take two days to respond but the deadline is a day and half they won't hit the "auto response" routine because when it was offered they weren't in that situation. So the key is to keep an eye on when the deadline is and cancel our reoffer any that are still under consideration as you won't get the deals done otherwise. :doh:

Thanks for the help. I'll definitely keep this in mind for next time so my team's future doesn't slip through with the passing time again. ;)
