I said we shouldn’t do it but others disagreed as you saw, so why not do it when others are? How many posts are there with people telling inactive people to check their trade requests? They all went through. that is a fair trade. Pettersson is also dual position C, LW is one of the hottest players in the league, 10pts in his last 5gp, twice as many as Pastrnak. I trade away my leading fantasy scorer in it, and I was so unsure of it that I wasn’t even sure to let it go through yet lol. Im iffy about whether Pasta > Pete. He’s also 14th I didn’t think he was totally inactiveEdJo: We shouldn't make trades with inactive players!
The next day...
EdJo: I have acquired David Pastrnak from a a guy who starts two players that are on IR and who is inactive!
I'm out for next season, guys.
It's fine, Ed.
You can't write it better than that.
Others were free to do so and were doing it, I would've wanted a blanket ban on trading with them but I was apparently in the minority. Ideally everyone would be active and we wouldn't have that problem. But that is not a lopsided trade by any means, I was very indecisive about whether to even do it because Pettersson may be the hottest player in the league. That's not someone dumping scraps for good players, that's trading my best player for a slightly better player who only plays one position unlike mineIt's fine, Ed.
I myself said it's fine to trade with inactive teams, as long the league veto is there. Now I guess the league veto period for this one was sometime between when I went to bed at 11:30 and woke up at 5:30, but whatever.
You acquired the best non-McDavid fantasy player, the centerpiece and leading scorer of a historically good team. You acquired him from a player who literally has not made another transaction in the year 2023, who has two players on IR on their active roster, and several players who could easily be upgraded by other guys on waivers (but again, the guy isn't actually playing). So it's just funny to see that guy, who I have tried to trade with and never even received responses from, magically making a move to surrender the #2 fantasy player in the dead of the night. To the guy who just complained about this very thing.
I mean it was nice of you to give back Pettersson, who is a fantastic player in his own right, to at least give the appearances of it being a sort of fair deal. Clearly the guy was pressed for a center for his playoff push and was willing to take the ~100-point drop-off in value to make it happen!
It's all good. There's no money, it's all for fun. It's just gotten stupid and I'm definitely out next year, although I am appreciative of the fact that I was invited and now know how much fun fantasy hockey can be, in theory.
Yea this is the second year so we have an idea of who are reliably active, it seems everyone wants to do a Keeper league. However it's even more paramount that everyone's active in that case, because people might just go all in that first year because they have no intention of continuing lol
You're fine. You didn't do anything against the rules. I just think you're totally full of shit.
For me, this has clearly set itself up for the inactive player fresh off his blockbuster with Ed, to knock me off in the final week and drop me several spots.
Can you clarify, if you know, what the f*** was actually up with the trade deadline yesterday? So I'm clear, I am not accusing you of anything Ed--it just seemed off. I had agreed to trades with Taluss and Loki, and there were a couple others in there that were up for league review. All of them, at least on my devices, said they would execute on 3/3. Cool, that makes sense, get your trades in by COB on 3/1 and then they clear on 3/3.
Bro you almost made the sickest comeback yesterday. Thank god McCann didn’t have a big night (again)!

It's all good, I'm done with it.
I was praying for a VGK shutout with Quick & needed a decent night from McCann. VGK took a shut out into the 3rd, but Montreal scored 3 in the 3rd, then Hamilton picked up an early assist for Devils & I knew I was toast. Dahlin being out most of the week & getting nothing all week from Brandon Hagel didn't help me.
That really sucks man.
