NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

i did not dress hutton b/c he's a piling heap of fucking garbage. Now I will dress him to at least get maybe some starts.

Legal. I did it. Suck it Paul.

I don't understand the heat for Thom and Lee when numerous teams explicitly say they are tanking each year, and make trades to worsen their position? Pete did that for years for Dallas and has quite a few top players on that roster to show for it

[thom54]

My team is better for NOT dressing Hutton when he puts up shitty stats. He's on my bench. Next week, he'll be active to try to keep afloat. I'm doing it to be a better team ... aka opposite of tanking. Which I also have no problem with on an individual basis. If the rules allow it, don't blame the player for utilizing them. Change the rules.

I didn't know there was a hutton issue

there's really no way to stop tanking but i guess people want tanking teams as competitive as possible. i knew i would be tanking this season but i've always put my best lineup possible unless obviously a guy is hurt. i don't really care either way.

also i don't get the heat on thom either because having rinne alone actually gives him better stats. rinne is a starter and why would thom even attempt to tank when he's a clear playoff team lol.

Trading for players that suck to get a higher pick should be fair. The person who does this will have to actively re-build their team.

Not dressing your best line-up should not be fair. That person could stash talent in the minors while also already having even a playoff calibre team.

Not dressing both your goalies can actually help stats. i dressed dubnyk and sat smith because smith was getting a 5 gaa every game while dubnyk was playing well. However, not dressing any goalie eligible to play games both hinders ones own competitiveness, and almost more importantly forfeits points to stronger teams that could affect the playoff situations of teams who care.

[Lee]

I was dressing khudobin

[Matthew]

I actually havent looked into your situation. I was just talking in general based on league rules/future league rules.

Yea I though the same. I wonder how NYR can afford this.

[kyuss]

lowballing Zuccarello like every other year, probably (which hopefully will work just fine for me)

[kimmer]

I traded zucc for zajac straight up

[lightupdadarkness]

Cap hell city continues......that would make him 3rd highest paid on the team and a NTC for first 3 and then partial after if reports are true......props to his agent
