Not really a holdup anymore.

But our deal might not be possible.

So back to the drawing board...

Any interest in Kopitar, Okposo, Johansson, Spezza + any of my D?

Also looking to package something with Howard for a G upgrade.

Anybody?

Interesting.

I'm thinking about it.

Gimme a few minutes.

Edit: deal. Paperwork sent.

Good deal. Not sure if these are the actual lines, but you have kopitar and carter on first line and now I have spezza and ryan on top line.

Really?

Let me know so I can pursue other options.

You don't know me well enough if you believed that PM replied to. I'll send it over tonight when I get back home assuming Thunda and the other guy doesn't unexpectedly decide to give me a final answer. And assuming you still have those players then.

You don't need my help, you're more than capable of accomplishing that all on your own.

Spezza-Ryan definitely isn't, he's been with Turris all year. Not 100% sure about LA but I usually don't see Carter on Kopitar's wing.

Pretty even deal though IMO.

Says the guy with the same team as he drafted.

Yeah, it's a strangely even one for one deal, IMO.

I needed a winger, as well.

I think Kopitar and Carter are only on the PP together.

I think Stamkos and Bogosian might be the only 2 guys I still have since the draft.

Edit: Also drafted Erik Johnson and re-acquired him. I believe I did draft Barkov and Larsson but I'm not 100%. Though I did trade Barkov at one point and also got him back.

That's what I think as well. LA would be pretty tough if they do acquire another top 6 F.

Actually, no. I never drafted my team. I was one of the first replacement managers, the only player left on my team that I started with is Sharp.

I have a feeling they are gonna take a run at Moulson or Vanek.

I think we hit a stalemate on the guy I was really interested in.

The other guy was a C, which I already have enough of, and was a lateral move considering the guy you wanted in return, despite being good value wise.

I'd have serious interest in Sharp, but you may value him more than I do.

Unless your feelings have changed, it may be difficult.

Yeah, it would take an offer I can't refuse on Sharp to make me trade him. He's currently third in "Actual Rank" in the pool. I have no problem holding onto him.

Fair enough.

Totally understand.

I'll still maybe give it a try once I'm off work and don't have to pretend I'm answering "work-related texts"

I still like your offer, so unless someone can top it, I'll hold out...for a bit longer...

So who is holding everything up right now? I've had 3 or 4 people that they are waiting to hear back from somebody before they will explore other options.

How many first rounders does Vantel have now?

That has to be one of the worst guesses for a rumor out there.
