I mean, yeah I guess averaging the 5th most ice-time for defence on your team makes you a Top 4 dman.

vs BUF 4th in icetime with 18.12

on a team with Josi, Weber, Jones, Ellis.

I neve thought I'd see mik using possibly the smallest sample size ever used on bbkl to prove his point.

ok guys, ekhom is not a top 4 defenseman for you, and he is for me, so it looks like there will be no deal to be made, time to close this thread already.

looks like editing my locked thread hurts others' feeling, so I've deleted this content. very serious matter apparently.

btw, if you want to make an offer, what I could get back are waiver exempts/picks (as usual at this stage), quality over quantity please.

I'm venturing into re-opening this thread, as by now maybe more people consider him a top 4 D.

Or maybe I should say top 3?

Here is Ekholm's TOI since the Seth Jones trade went down (he also has 4pts in the last 3 games):

Ryan Ellis' minutes in the last 5 games: 19, 18, 22, 20, 18

this is what Ellis was just traded for: http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13084#p236959

I'm interested in making moves before the deadline and because of my stacked D he could be part of the payback if he is properly valued in the deal.

Things I have interest for:
improving my lineup without affecting my cap
goaltending
1st rounder 2016, in the 8-20 range.

we should try and sort something out.

Make me an offer I cannot refuse.

an offer YOU could not refuse pretty much means 'suicide offer'

I've offered 1St + prospect and you've never even countered it. You do that thing Lee does where u refuse to make offers.

Much easier for you to tell me what you want than for me to guess what you want.

If everyone did that then no trade offers would ever be made, Lee. I just find it to be a pain. Nothing against u personally.

Matthew wroteCOLONI've offered 1St + prospect and you've never even countered it. You do that thing Lee does where u refuse to make offers.

yeah I don't think late 1st + probable bust is close for a young 2nd pairing defenseman signed long term

It's a game of " oh, maybe he will offer me this player, whom I value highly, without placing emphasis on how much I value him, in an attempt to get even more out of him!"

I flat out tell people what I want for players they message me about. I expect the same. Don't be a sissy.

I make offers, get told they are shit because we value players differently and the people wonder why I don't make offers.

I don't think about that emphasis thing. I see it as you playing a game of never making the first offer to gain leverage, tbh.

Lee wroteCOLONI make offers, get told they are shit because we value players differently and the people wonder why I don't make offers.

I get told my offers are shit too. But if I don't make offers nothing ever gets done.

you're welcome guys
