Sujet: 2019-20 GM Game - Messages to the BOG
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flamesfan419</b></div><div>Just so we're clear, this is NOT a formal complaint. Simply just a thought so everyone knows.

If the BOG posts that one team WON a UFA bid, that team would assume they have signed a player halting any other potential dealings due to that fact.

Then the next day the BOG comes back and tells said team that they in fact did NOT win that players UFA bid, hence LOSING the player.
No problem, mistakes happen and I accepted the news from both the BOG and the other team who in fact won the player.

My minor issue comes from being told I could not submit a 1 hour late bid on another player from todays list.

It's not my fault the winning bid was posted in error, and now I've also lost out on potentially gaining back another player over 1 hour of time.

THIS is exactly where a more mature thinking BOG would've at the very least allow a late bid since NONE OF THIS IS MY FAULT.</div></div>

If he wasn't going to make a bid because he thought he had a player but now needs to make a bid on a replacement player due to a BOG error, is there any reason why he shouldn't be able to bid on a player that hasn't even been posted yet? I didn't think this operation had to be super strict, especially when this all started with a mistake on the BOG's end.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Holy over payment on Graves, around $2M a year to much. Also Kessel in a 3rd line role just has disaster written on it. Just going to let Nichushkin and Zadorov walk then give Simmonds who is an awful fit a contract? Hall for 7 years isn’t going to happen Sakic wouldn’t give Panarin 6 no way he gives Hall that. It’s creative though.</div></div>

Remind me, what line was Kessel on when he won two Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh?

In all seriousness, I think the Avs would have to add more to get both Kuemper and Kessel, especially if the Yotes are eating half on Phil. Byram and Newhook are obviously off the table completely, but I could see Armstrong wanting someone like Kaut or Timmins as well. But the pure hockey fit of those two with Colorado is insane

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>I've been posting here for years. Are you serious?

Yes. A 6'6" Russian-speaking kid coming off better than a point a game season in North American juniors? I absolutely want him playing with Ovechkin and Kuznetsov as soon as possible. And I think Kuznetsov could score more goals at wing. We've discussed that part before.


edit: that said, do I see your point that Protas won't step in and be good enough to cover Crosby on day one? Yes. I see that. Lineups can change with matchups. Against average opponents and below, playing with guys who speak his language and can finish any pass he can give them seems like the most sheltered spot for him. Does that make the Ovechkin line into line two? No. It's got an all time great goal scorer on it, so it's still the first line. Thank you for asking.</div></div>

Over a point per game in a draft +1 is not uncommon at all. It is very uncommon for someone to come straight out of juniors right to line one on a Cup contender. Get a grip dude

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Ha ha ha ha ha. No thanks.

While I can imagine that NJ pick might not be moving, Kempny's currently worth more than a 2nd, less than a 1st.

Kempny tied for 38th among LHD in even strength points this season: <a href="http://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=20192020&amp;seasonTo=20192020&amp;gameType=2&amp;position=D&amp;shootsCatches=L&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=evPoints&amp;page=0&amp;pageSize=100" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?reportType=season&amp;seasonFrom=20192020&amp;seasonTo=20192020&amp;gameType=2&amp;position=D&amp;shootsCatches=L&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=evPoints&amp;page=0&amp;pageSize=100</a>

He tied with Chychrun, Giordano, Brodie, and Morrissey. Try getting any of them, at a $2.5M cap hit, for a 3rd round pick. Good luck.

He was also 7th in plus/minus, although I know that's out of style.

My thought process here is Kempny for an almost-1st rounder, if Nashville wants defensive depth to win right now, Afanasyev for Johansen and a 4th if they want a solid LHD prospect who will do better in NSH than WSH, and then Harpur or some other contract moving back to keep Nashville below the limit. Actually prefer someone at a different position, if that's an option, or really prefer no one.</div></div>

Did you watch him play this year? I don't think he ever got to 100% from the injury in 2018-19, but he was still nowhere near his 2018 self. He was so bad that he got healthy scratched at the end of the playoffs. A big part of why we traded for Dillon is because Kempny was no longer playing like a top four defenseman. He's worth nowhere close to a first round pick. He's worth a third, maybe.
