Yup done deal.... felt this was a little bit of a overpayment but I didn't want to deal with a goalie headache over the summer

[Bruyns]

approved

[Matthew]

Tim is gonna have like 20 picks by simply promising not to take goalies.

Kinda funny it cost more to protect luongo than grubauer when lu is 38.

Opportunity cost. Hjalmarsson is worth a lot more than anyone Zona is exposing

i was about to say that haha.. but luongo is a starter you nv know if grubauer will start next season

[Matthew]

Hjalmarsson isn't very good in our format. Like the 100th best dman.

[hong57]

but i do feel luongo may play thru 42 or 43... he's really just that good... i wish he had more success with how good he was in NYI with a shitty team

[Bruyns]

Wasn't involved with setting the price for Luongo, but I think this makes sense for Cliff. I would have pushed for him to take Luongo because of what Cliff has available and because Tim has expressed some desire to see if he can field a competitive team and Luongo could help. Also could have traded him back to Cliff for more than this if Cliff was going to miss GP so might as well avoid the headache like he said.

Those "rankings" in fantrax doesn't mean anything.. sure.. you can use it as a reference.. but if my team is lacking only BS and those perhipery stats.. then he is needed on my team and im sure he will probably be getting more ice time in hawks

[timwebb1212]

3 goalie max is a killer

[hong57]

if u joined when we start the league.. i traded for luongo becoz he's my favourite goalie.. and he's always the one that make my rebuild so hard by winning the goalie cats haha... if i didn't had him i'd get the lottery picks for first 2 years

[hong57]

3 goalie max is a killer

so better pick 3 certain starters.. then some teams will leave without starter = profit

Easier said than done.

Exactly. If u can get 3 starters it will leave at least 2 teams without starters...which means they will need to overpay to get them back so they don't miss gp.

That's a case where Fantrax score is skewed by low stats in a couple cats. 6th in blocks and 25th in SHTOI makes him more valuable to me then that rank. Not getting anything close to a top 100 player from Cliff though so I viewed Lu as an easy choice personally.

Also Hong there isn't 3 certain starters since every team could protect their starters. There's some guys that could be starters but I don't think there is even one goalie available I would call the certain starter I guess the closest would be Greiss but Thom has top end skaters available.

Every team protected their starter so how are we going to have teams without one?

oh ya i remember someone has greiss and bishop..

[hong57]

ok.. i just thought some teams has two starters and some only have backups
