| Message | Goon, my expansion process rant was in response to A: You laughing at my team in last, when really your team is the laughable one considering you've been in this pool for 3 yrs, you've already had a "redo" after your first blunder, and your team is MILES behind Dan's who entered with you. Also take into account that you and Dan had a much more favourable expansion process than I had offered to me. B: Kernel's defence of the expansion process. As I ended my rant, I love this pool and I won't be dispersing my team. I'm sorry you feel it was a mistake letting me in but I'm assuming that's just you speaking out of fear from the addition of another GM who will mop the pool floor with your lack of fantasy strategy. I play poker for a living, I've seen a lot of guys who get crushed at poker and then challenge people to street fights to try and compensate for their embarrasing poker play... it seems the same translates into this hockey pool world... trying to fashion your hockey pool antics after the obsolete practices of Don Cherry... you're a good canadian kid... but you're out of your league... maybe you should start an FHL farm fantasy league  cause you're not fit for the big leagues.Anyways to finish up I'll add, none of my banter is ever personal and I love you all as individuals. But Hockey Pools are war!  |

| Message | I've never seen so much moaning from an expansion GM. Both Dan and myself imbraced the challenge (myself twice) and we have both build solid teams in 3 years or less without a single banter complaining about the process. Just give us the word and we'll hold a dispersal draft of your assets and move on from this obvious mistake. |

| Message | this idea that i emerged out of expansion 'unscathed' has a few layers to it.. some assessments are erroneous on different levels.. erroneous i say! a little bit of truth in some aspects, but hardly blameable on the Phillies.. Round 3) A handy little rule that allows any team to give up a first rounder in the draft instead of losing a 2nd forward benefited me more than any other team because of my young forward depth and 3 first rounders I had accumulated (#8 overall from the Blazers made a perfect fit, acquired in the Savard deal). Round 2) Having the 'shallowest' D talent pool at THREE ROSTER WORTHY DEFENSEMEN meant I lost Steve Eminger to the Phillies.  Round 1) A costly error by exposing Daniel Briere in a pre-expansion list submission for the purpose of initiating trade talks had potentially horrific consequences mitigated by a favourable trade pulled off by the Phillies. I went into the draft having spent a couple years acquiring 8 picks. I spent 5 of them (3 to Phil) to improve my team outside the draft. So I didn't lose great players, but did give up some good picks, an inventory of which no other GM in the league could compete with at the time. If you breakdown the Briere trade this way: -Briere for #3(Roy, then Kane) and 0809 first -Schneider for Kessel -0809 Prospect for Poti My expansion net loss is: three first rounders and Eminger. Phil's gain to date is: Kane, Bernier, Eminger and one first rounder |

| Message | Forsberg over Langkow was a risk vs reward pick that still might pan out. But yeah Langkow is a solid player. Stastny was one of 2 first overall picks, the best things I got out of this process, both of which I traded down for better things. (although early signs show Stastny as much better than I thought, I still like my end of the deal.) As for Dan keeping his assets, I agree, I made a big deal with him under the impression that the redraft picks I was getting were much more valuable then they actually were. He then told me the details of the prospect draft the next day and I would've reversed the deal if I could in an instant. As for the expansion process on the whole you listed one borderline bad choice that was actually expansion related. You are ignoring the fact that I offered the choice of the scraps from two GM's teams in the 2nd expansion pick nevermind the third for any 4th round redraft pick this year or next, and noone bit. I didn't expect you to make me a contender, but at least the ability to pick my own guys rather than be stuck with their waste and have to drop them first before I can even move on. The problem Kernel, is that you have one of the deepest teams so the value you gave up was way higher which distorts your perception of the expansion draft. It looks fair to you cause you had to give up so much... put yourself in the other GM's shoes and you'd be laughing at the choices you could leave me with. p.s. I love banter and this pool. |
