Right now D88...you would trade me B'Amour AND Vrbata just for Clowe alone...And I would say NO WAY. (Although there was a point in time I almost waived Budaj). GOd last night he had 50 shots. Of the first 45 only 1 goal against. Then 2 in the last 4 he faced (1 was empty net). Love him...then hate him.

ALex--There won't be room in the pool this year. Filled up at 20 teams, sorry. But next season we shall see!!

Little question: Is this fantasy league continue year to year? Or there's always a fantasy draft at the begining of each seasons?

For this one it will be a new draft next season. There are discussions behind the scenes about what we may do, but this one is just a one season pool.

This one could be a year-to-year thing with all league info history being saved, but as batdad said, the draft would be re-done.

WOW! I actually had goalies show up tonight. Too bad my players decided to go for the Cy Young award again, or I would be WAY ahead. :-D

Yeah, I have no ego or confidence. None. :-D

i was interested in knowing who wheeled the best deals til now (22.11.08) in our fantasy pool. so i breaked down our trades and gave the players involved the fantasy points they earned til now. unfortunatly i was involed in the 2nd worst trade of our pool. gave up budaj/aucoin/clowe for brind'amour/vrbata. the difference made clowe who made 11,55 fantasy points so far. i would like to get him back.
fantasy trades often don't pan out like in the real world.
so when you look at the trade of niittymaki/bernier for m.smith/ohlund you would say "ok that could happen" both sides got what the wanted.
but in fantasy points it was a huge blow for the karlstad killers who gave up (m.smith/ohlund) 16 points and received (niittymaki/bernier) minus 2,6 points. so a difference of 18,6 points which is huge. absolute winner in this trade and overall in trades are batdad's fog devils.
here's the breakdown....

Wow..that is insane. I knew I did well in my deals, but not wow....Now ya wanna agree to our next one D??? Mebbe my luck has run out.

But to be fair, none of those Barker points are mine. I am basically 0 there to B72's - whatever. I let Barker go.

Whoa that's really interesting to look at. I think I'll see how I've fared with my free agent acquisitions.

Slava next 10 games 0-10-10- -15-0PIM-5 min ice-1 shot
Zajac next 10 games 5-0-5-5PP goals- -1- minus 20 PIMs-2 shots

Who got the deal? I just know I finally got rid of a Russian Thrasher and picked up Devil. Should be a good deal for me. But dang, Zajac will start getting goals and no assists...watch.

Aityyeeee. Tampa vs New Jersey. One would think Smith-Weekes and guarantee me a win right? With Vince being +1 with an assist and 22 shots? Well no....the game is Kolzig vs Clemmensen, guaranteeing no win for me. Now I hope it is 22-1 for Tampa Bay. with Vince with 22 asssits, 22 shots and 2 fights.

Yeah, that trade didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. Bernier has been a bust so far. Anyone want him? And Niittymäki was a throw-in. Maybe fatigue struck in as we had negotiated for a long time on that deal
