| Message | Consider this my official commitment (to offer Dan whatever "reassurance" he needs in order to continue in the pool with the least amount of integrity he can possibly get away with) that I will be icing the best possible team I can. I have no intentions outside of using every pick to take the best possible FHL player available. So there is no moral question mark hanging over my team... we will see about yours. I would like to move that we add the "immoral but not illegal" issues into the punishable offences in the same way that tanking by vote can result with the loss of draft rankings. i.e. "expansion draft dodging" when Dan trades his guys to someone without depth and gets a similar deal back after the draft minus "premium paid" of course that he pays some line of penalty...it seems that's what GM Duke is looking for to keep his questionable pool ethics in check. Furthermore I'll add that he has no grounds whatsoever to suggest that I plan to ice a team of babyfaced non nhl'ers given the fact that my current roster while young are all expected to be NHL active this year. The fact that the expansion process leaves the new team in a building phase should quite clearly be taken into consideration when the morally questionable GM starts pointing the "tanking" finger. Of course my team does not expect to compete for the title in it's first year, and nor should it. But I guarantee that it will be the best possible FHL team I can put together. Dan fears it already! |

| Message | If Phil wants to roll the dice on 27 pre teens, taking the chance that a few of them turn into NHL players, and finish last for the next 15 years, I wont mind taking his money if I win a few titles in that time. He can run down last years draft list for all I care to fill out his roster. |

| Message | Aaah the 'ol moral dilemna in a hockey pool.. that's what i kind of thought. Often times creative strategies cross over those boundaries. I'm not sure what part of "my original players would not return to my team" isn't understood, but I wouldn't expect Goon to understand the benefit or the premium i'd be willing to pay to give up a lower caliber player in round 1 and 3 anyway  Just gettin' you riled up Goon.. Personally I'd agree it is underhanded, much like "tanking". So I'd like to see a commitment from our expansion team to dress a monthly lineup 100% active in the NHL. Failing to gain this reassurance, I would have a hard time feeling bad about using the expansion format to the advantage of a trading and myself and the disadvantage of said expansion GM. Let's set the standard now before a lineup of 17 year old's gets first pick in every draft until the lineup grows facial hair. |

| Message | So you want to hide players on another team. Underhanded - yes, illegal - no. Who's gonna be dumb enough to fall for that though... |

| Message | I dont really see the point of that type of deal if your not getting your original players back. It would seem that it would just be a standard trade between GM's. If the plan was to get your original players back I certainly wouldn't have announced those intentions publically. |

| Message | A question to Commish Brown and Expansion Director Peters. In an effort to screw over the expansion GM, could I (hypothetically) trade a player or two to another team for future considerations and then after expansion have players sent my way? A staggered deal like this would allow me to use another team's expansion protects. My original players would not return to my team. I don't have a deal in place but have a few ideas. |

| Message | I'm guessing the futures are based on Selanne possibly retiring? Looks like a good deal for both clubs. |

| Message | The Dukes are pleased to announce the acquisition of Teemu Selanne from the Chowtown Bruins. To the Bruins- Duke's 2nd and 3rd round picks (11&19) and future considerations. To the Dukes- Selanne and Shane's 2nd and 4th round picks (13&29). |

| Message | The deadline for deciding on either a pick or second forward will be Aug 17, the same deadline as protection round 2. The pick can be any first round pick that is in your possession. |
