Re: WSH/STL
Good job, Kareem. And smart after the Clemmenson injury.
And Shep you're a class act. There is a group of GMs in this league that holds players "hostage" when only one GM REALLY needs that player. This is especially the case with back-ups. So good show sir.

I bet Kareem told him if that was the case.H MART wroteCOLONOr Shep just had no idea
Re: WSH/STL
If he did, then kudos. I know how that feels to be on the other end of the stick. Cliff was trying to rape me when I tried to get Salak from him.
Re: WSH/STL
I knew he was likely to make the team because of Clemmensen's injury. Kareem PM'd me and said "PHI 3rd Rounder for Tyler Plante" I figured, there is no way I'll ever get this value again for Plante, so I accepted.
No hostage whatsoever, offer and accept. Not even a counter-offer. Quickest talks you can ever have.

Re: WSH/STL
If there's a player being held "hostage" it's because someone like Tokarski will likely be the eventual starter at some point. Why would I trade him away for a 3rd Rounder? Plante, I understand from Shep's perspective because he's right, Plante will likely not be worth a 3rd Rounder down the road.
Tokarski? Salak? How many knew Reimer would be the starter last year? Anything can change, and if there's a perception of a player being held hostage, it's likely for a good reason.

Re: WSH/STL
Yep. Solid. It also builds a solid trading relationship. Somewhere down the line you may need your back up from Kareem and he'll be happy to help you out. Last year Mik rejected Ville Leino + 2nd DET (32nd overall) for Braden Holtby from me in the span of two weeks where both Varly and Neuvy were injured. Caused me to lose in Round 1 of the Playoffs. Caused Mik to have a 3rd string goalie who will never get that kind of value again.Shep wroteCOLONI knew he was likely to make the team because of Clemmensen's injury.

Re: WSH/STL
I'm not holding Salak hostage at all. Nobody has even made an offer.

I was referring to Paul. Wasn't thinking of you. Honest.The Devil wroteCOLONI'm not holding Salak hostage at all. Nobody has even made an offer.
Re: WSH/STL
Im Guilty of holding a player "Hostage"
If only one GM needs that player obviously im gonna hold out for more value...
See me getting Clarke MacArthur for Ty Conklin last season.

Re: WSH/STL
That just damages the trade relationship. A back-up goalie should never be held hostage. One day you'll need your back-up and someone else will do the same to you. The wins/losses even out. But the relationship is damaged.bills09 wroteCOLONIm Guilty of holding a player "Hostage"

As an example, I recall you talking about how Cliff wanted the world for Giguere when you needed him. A few days later Shooker traded him to you for fair value and you were thrilled.

Mik wanted Tyler Myers for Holtby
And I went I got Shook Biron in that deal..
it worked because we both got what we needed.
I recall overpaying for Biron as well.
