Buds Board Keepers League

I have TOR's #3, studding in the AHL. He'll move eventually.

I'd give Hedberg to you for cheap if i had him, trust me

I mean Hellberg, little sleep does that to you!

oh, that wouldn't be cheap then

kyuss wroteCOLONoh, that wouldn't be cheap then

as much as i like mik, this is the logic i dont understand.

"i wont overpay but i want player x"

"i have one of your players, so to get him you have to overpay"

his never make a trade unless you win by miles mentality has made his team pretty good though. You might disagree with the logic but the result works.

Never make a trade unless you like it.

Don't have to 'win' it, don't have to need it, but any time you're posting/confirming a deal you should want to do it.


I'm sure the English language is all that is holding Mik back Probably trying to say the same things as the rest of us.

back to this week (4):

Shutout loss for Jimmy Howard is hilarious, and I think the 2nd or 3rd time he has done that since I've owned him. 0GAA, 1000sv%, SO - I can handle no W.

Btw how in the fuck did you even get an italian guy into bbkl it boggles my mind

biggest mistake bbkl has made

mik types better English then I do... don't think language issue is a barrier.

its the "my player is better than your player because he's mine" mentality. we all have it to a degree, others are just worse. mik and nick in particular.

accuse me of what you would, there are a few GMs who I've learned you're better just saying

no

to rather than offering a reason or thought - but fwiw -I have zero problems making a trade.

ill fuckin hip check the shit out of you

hahha you do still have a sig of a player you don't own. Some would consider that bad etiquette

if we're really going to get into proper bbkl etiquette, perhaps that avatar that has no relation to your team at all needs to be addressed.

Hello.

Esthetics/graphic etiquette policia here

I see what you did there

I was told to switch to this!

who told you this is my logic?

it's much more like what Nick said: "Never make a trade unless you like it."
which may sometimes translate into: "you want a player i don't want to trade, so to get him you'd have to overpay"

I guess according to bbkl logic, i should draft a goalie in the 2nd round, use a roster spot on him for yrs while waiting for him to develop, and when things go right and he's almost ready to contribute just trade him away for another 2nd?.. and maybe repeat the cycle until with that 2nd rounder i'll happen to draft someone who won't prove to have any value?

i fail to understand how that can be true altogether with people calling me 'raped' more than once in some of my deals in the past.
I've made more than 120 trades since joining the league, one would think other GMs would not be willing to make that many unfavourable deals..

anton wroteCOLONits the "my player is better than your player because he's mine" mentality. we all have it to a degree, others are just worse. mik and nick in particular.

as said in the past, part of this matter is i seem to value players differently from most BBKLers, be it because of tastes, euro exposure or strategy.
By now, most of my players are on my team because i like them better than other GMs. That often shows up in proposals i receive or i make.
Maybe the reasoning is "my player is better because i honestly think he will indeed be better in the future" ?
wouldn't that be a legit thought.
