HC-IR Fantasy Keeper League - Discussion Thread [Part Three] Penguins Need GM

[Hollywood Cannon]

2 teams in on Lundqvist... expect him to be moved, TONIGHT.


Offers are somewhat resembling

Future #1 goaltender, #1/2 Dman, Prospect x 2




Also being moved soon


Jason Chimera (great season so far)
Ian White
Michael Ryder
Ray Whitney
Sergei Gonchar
Sheldon Souray

all can help put your team a step further to beating HC.

I'm going to rebuild my team mid-season, and STILL beat HC, guy is on the decline.

Fail to see how the goal is to beat me. The goal for everyone in this league should be to make Nuckles miss the Playoffs.

So we should combine teams is what you're saying?

Pretty much.

Lundqvist is gone! As if Ryder, and Ian White.


Trade details to come.




Tuukka Rask
Shea Weber
Michael Grabner
Mark McNeil

for


Henrik Lundqvist
Ian White
Michael Ryder


Big trade, Lundqvist was my cornerstone piece, but the emergence of Pavelec (who has almost as many fantasy points), made him expendable to help shore up the rest of the roster. In Rask we have a future #1, Weber brings big points to our defense that is one of our key strengths this season with comeback seasons from Gonchar, Souray (Kaberle to some extent now) and young guns in OEL and Pietrangelo. Adding Grabner to our offense will help, always a need for young 30 goal scorers, and McNeil is going to be a dangerous NHL player soon.

Ryder and White were having respectable years but we needed to add some assets to help balance out contracts/numbers.

Happy with the outcome!

Whitney-Kesler-Pavelski
Parenteau-Berglund-Stewart
Chimera-Fisher-Grabner
Rinaldo-Smith-Purcell
B. Connolly, Abdelkader

Weber-Gonchar
Souray-Pietrangelo
OEL-Kaberle
Sutton

Pavelec
Rask​

accept.

Put simply, we wanted to have a reliable goaltender for years to come and Nik Backstrom is currently being outplayed by his backup, Harding. This puts our goaltending in a great spot. Giving up Weber hurts the defense corps, but you have to give to get. The addition of Ian White ensures that this isn't a TOTAL loss in terms of defense. We're also excited to get Ryder, a player who has been consistent this year, while giving up Grabner, who's had a slow start to the year.

Hopefully this will give the Ducks a much-needed kick in the ass.

Umberger - Malkin - Ryder
Greening - Ribeiro - Hanzal
Kopecky - Bouchard - Brouwer
Bickell - Kelly - Ponikarovsky

IR: Leino, Lombardi

Carle - E. Johnson
Orpik - White
Rundblad - Seidenberg

Lundqvist
Backstrom​

Looking to improve on the wing. Bolded players will not be moved, italicized can be had but it will be harder to get them.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Wow, I really like that deal for Anaheim.

 

[TLinden]

Wow, I really like that deal for Anaheim.

I definitely think its fair, it'll help pull him from last place thats for sure.

I had 2 great offers from teams, I liked Rask and Weber's upside over the goalie/dman in the other offer so I chose this one.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

[IslesRock4]

We have not heard from Nuckles since two weeks ago when he first fell out of the playoffs. Rex Ryan?

Triple Post:

Also at the conclusion of the season if you finished in last place it does not mean that you get the first overall pick. The way we will handle draft position is the team that finished in last place will get to select which draft slot they want between 1-20. We will do this until we get to the champion which will obviously get the last spot remaining.

 

[TLinden]

Working my way to 1st place... No Lundqvist? No problem.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Working MY way back to .500.

Currently got a .75 point lead over Toronto. Need a win from Kari tonight!
