who cares what people say, she's a fantasy league lol

most of us will never meet. If i dont like someones offer i just reject and try to make a counter offer. If it's so bad that a counter offer is a waste of time i just say "no thanks"

I'd assume most of us hit us with the best offer we're going to make, so if it's awful and value is off, why waste each others time.

Some guys don't want to deal, but don't feel like saying that either.

I don't think that's true.

I can think of a GM that never does that.

And I'm also at fault for doing that only half of the times

I'd assume most people hit you up with their worst offer. It's how you deal (which is fine).

considering the offers I usually get, that's probably true

false.

sometimes I offer way more than I could, but sometimes I offer the max I'd ever offer for such player/asset.

also, all fine

in the end, you live someplace in Europe (at least we're all led to believe this)
others live in Ontario, Alberta, Maritimes, USA, etc...

it all goes back to - we'll never meet, so at the end of the day why does everyone hate one another. Make an offer, accept or reject and move on.

Kiss and hug, be happy.


I'll trade you WPG 1st 2017 + Patrick Weirchoich for Ekholm + 2nd (any year)

my main problem with Wiercioch is having his salary on my bench, taking away the 2nd value wise we would be there

Matthew wroteCOLONI 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.
this is exactly what it is. Smart negotiating but annoying as heck

i'd agrue the opposite, i've built a pretty good team (mike as well) but offering guys our top offer right from the start.

really, we all have different approaches that work.
