Be A GM, 25 years.

Do you play that alot... do you consider fun and not monotonous? I tried one a few years ago that was not very fun and every trade I attempted it would accept, which made it too unrealistic.

haha, pretty much. Medium was always the best. And never play w/o the salary cap.
- jmatchett383

I never understood why people like playing without the salary cap. Seems dumb to me

He also hasn't fought many of the heavyweights. He's good, but even though Penner is bigger, he's not really a fighter.
- jmatchett383

Well at 170 pounds you don't want Rinaldo fighting heavyweights. He takes on middleweights guys around 200 pounds, and fairs quite well.

so, of topic as usual, tonight Glendale votes on the arena lease deal. Incoming ownership wants to get 15 million a year to manage the arena. They think they can get some of it back to them in fees and taxes.

Other companies say they can manage the arena for $300,000 and have proposals on the table.

How stupid is Glendale going to be?

@WOWFactsOfLife: Retired wrestler Andre the Giant set the world record for the most alcohol consumed at once, he drank 156 beers in a single sitting.

Rip. He left us far too soon?

Just a hunch, don't think that kid will amount to Tocchet's right nut.

Z2 baby,
get on the bandwagon now before it leaves the station

That's right, in late February, right after Schenn got beat up by Kovi, right?
- jmatchett383

That happened this season!?

It's very fun if you play GM Connected. If you don't know of it, pretty much they just made is online Be a GM mode. You can play a league with 29 other human GMs instead of computers. I like it

After he got killed on draft day and after he's now my favourite prospect. I'm rooting like hell for whatshisname... Goulborne? He's my guy.

It is fun. I enjoy building the team letting it sim the season, only playing select games (Pitt, NYR, Bos, etc) and then the NHL playoffs. No matter how stacked your AHL team is, they're never a sure bet.

But yeah, it's fun trying to keep a top-level team with a salary cap for 25 years. I was able to make a trade for Iginla, which tuned into a trade for Mr. FIST, which turned into Richards and Gagne. Gagne is a 35-goal scorer for 2016/17 right now.

Gotcha, saw Lebrun has Boston on the list too that makes zero sense they dont have much money to spend. I would like the Flyers to nab him, good size and allows one of the centers to be moved for puck mover. But not getting hopes up, said it earlier its been a while since someone picked the Flyers over other teams.
- flyerfan28

yeah, it's crazy, teams usually pick the flyers - we've been getting turned down a lot lately.

no damn loyalty moat, that is your problem

Honestly, I've never even tried. I'd just offer everyone $20M for 25 years. But I'm not sure how it works, if the owner gives you a budget or ???

Didn't see the need for a Z2, when Z1 is a young player.

I don't play regularly enough.

That happened this season!?
- jak521

Yeah...Braydon Schenn got beat up by Ilya Kovalchuk.

i hope you guys get vinny for the same reasons you guys hope the pens get briere

Nope you have free-reign to sign whoever you want for whatever you want. It's pretty dumb.

Yeah...Braydon Schenn got beat up by Ilya Kovalchuk.
- jmatchett383

I'm hoping Brayden is off training in the Russian wilderness with his brother in law Paulie.....chopping down trees. Pulling sleds. Running up mountains.....

*Hearts.....on......Fire.....*

Yeah...Braydon Schenn got beat up by Ilya Kovalchuk.
- jmatchett383

that was the most driven i have ever seen Kovy. people forget how big he is since physicality isnt really his game. cant fault schenn for thinking he had a chance, but man did he get put down

i hope you guys get vinny for the same reasons you guys hope the pens get briere
- stayinthefnnet

I think Homer's got plenty of bitcoins, so you know he's working the phones right now to get Vinny signed up.

i hope you guys get vinny for the same reasons you guys hope the pens get briere
- stayinthefnnet

Vinny is a younger and less damaged than Briere, but I actually think Briere could score 30 goals playing on Crosby's wing assuming they both play 70+ games.

Anywhere else I think he'll be disappointing.

I have not seen one person yet try to defend or even rationalize what they did with the third rounder.

But who knows, anything could happen.

Yeah...Braydon Schenn got beat up by Ilya Kovalchuk.
- jmatchett383

I remember, just thought it was his rookie year... damn that feels like forever ago.

EDIT: It was his rookie season. February 2012

I thought I was losing my marbles for a second.

i hope you guys get vinny for the same reasons you guys hope the pens get briere
- stayinthefnnet

3 yrs or less would be ok, anything more with Vinny is crazy
