GRRRRRR and WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
1st off I make a huge offer to move from 8th to 7th in an attempt to land Monahan and hear NOTHING back after three attempts to make contact. Then Colorado logs on with 15 min left on the clock to select Nurse?!?
Did you think I was trying to move up to get Nurse? Furthermore, do you not think you owe at least a cursory response to your fellow 'active' GM's?
For the record I offered my 8th, my 30th and my two fourth rounders to move up ONE draft spot. Monahan was pretty much the consensus choice at that position so it should have been obvious who I was trying to draft.
Cause for concern in Colorado but I'm extatic to land Monahan.....just don't like that I did it at the expense of a team who could have used the assets much more than me as I'd like to win against competitive GM's not lazy ones.

sooooooooo, you rank Monahan more than Nurse. That doesn't make it true and this league value's more than just offensive stats. I'd be concerned about GM's who miss their pick spots in the 1st round more than the ones who don't make the picks you would have.

Did you contact the correct GM? This Colorado's pick was his first ever post in this league. His contact info was not posted anywhere until after his pick.
He's brand new, I give him a break

My bitch wasn't so much WHO he picked it was that I didnt' get a response after REPEATED attempts to contact!!!! Is that not an issue to you? My secondary point was that he displayed incredibly poor asset managment skills by leaving a 1st and two 4th rounders on the table by not even pausing to think about who I was after, when most would not have thought a GM in my position would be making a move like that to land Nurse. Me thinks you completely missed the point of my rant

He's brand new, I give him a break I wrote to his yahoo account and sent multiple PM's to his account on here. They were all directed at the correct person after you cleared that up for me a few days ago. Brand new GM's should be held to at least as high a standard as the rest of us.

Me thinks you completely missed the point of my rant nope, you sent a trade offer (to old GM) and didn't get a reply. Got it. That GM couldn't know who you were going to pick so if he really wanted Nurse and thought you might want him, he kept the pick. Of course, we are ignoring the fact that you sent the mail to the wrong GM. I agree, it's smart to reply to the emails at least, negotiate. I'm just saying that your draft list, the NHL draft list, heck even Bob McKenzie's draft list isn't perfect and certainly isn't identical.

I'm just saying that your draft list, the NHL draft list, heck even Bob McKenzie's draft list isn't perfect and certainly isn't identical. Whoa there What makes you so certain I sent a PM to the wrong GM? TBay corrected me on who the new GM was right here in this very thread, I acknowledged that fact and then proceeded to contact the new GM so I have no idea where you're getting this from. His contact info has been available the whole time, I simply made a mistake in my first correspondence. We should all be expected to understand the value (percieved or otherwise) of players in our league and in the NHL draft. You make the case that Nurse over Monahan could be argued either way....fine....that's not my point so you can argue it till you're blue in the face. Now onto the draft list comment. Are you seriously believing what you say or just playing devils advocate on this? Lets have a show of hands; who would have been willing to take my picks and take the gamble that I didnt' select Nurse with the 7th pick knowing Monahan was available? You're arguing that anything can happen with a prospect and that's correct, you'd get no argument on that but once again you've missed the point. I'm making a value based argument here! If Phx had decided to trade down from 1st to 10th for picks 10+20 would you figure that to be good asset management? If not, then why not? Now, what if he traded down from 1st to 2nd and got 10th in return. Is that a good move? These moves can only be evaluated in the context of which assets might reasonably be expected to be available and what the perceived value of these assets are. We have no idea how any of these guys will pan out so based on your relativist logic we can never judge any moves involving draft picks because we arent' really sure what the assets are yet. If you truly believe that then you'd have no problem with the 1st for 10th and 20th trade but most would, however, the 1st for 2nd and 10th would be seen as acceptable by most....why?.....because we know Drouin is available in this draft and he could have just as easily been the 1st overall so from a value based argument 2nd +10th is a good value return on 1st where 10th + 20th is not.

I wonder who will start the goalie run in the draft. It was NJ last year, but he doesn't do it this year... it'll certainly be interesting. I really like LA taking Wennberg. I think he'll be a good one. Side note: Anaheim hasn't logged in since the day he registered for the league (April something). Should we even wait for him or should we just mark that team vacant? IMO people are going to sign up and then not participate ever again, it happens with all online games, and we should just recognize it when it happens and move on to replace them. I think it happened in this case. We're delaying the inevitable by emailing them, asking them to participate. (The NYR situation is different, as he's been around a while, worth the email check-in by Sami)
