The LWMD - Discussion Thread Part VI

I don't see the big deal except when people take forever when they are on the clock.

I don't think Vanillas teams is overly strong defense is certainly weak. The O is good but not so suffocating it's not beatable I think there Are some better top 6s out there. Depth is where he has really cleaned up.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Its not a big disadvantage as was illustrated earlier.
If you dont want to trade dont. Or dont sign up to a draft with trades.

The point of the draft, is to draft. I feel like trades are playing a far bigger role than I had intended. That is all.

I feel like you think theyre playing a bigger role than they really are.

I also dont appreciate being singled out for a reason why trades are a negative in this draft.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Well...

I am not upset with VanillaCoke or the other guys that have used this strategy.

OK...

Like I said, I'm am not upset with anyone that used this strategy. I'm just saying it was not the purpose I intended when allowing trades. That is all.

If you want to be offended for nothing go ahead. I won't stop you.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Well...

A. I didnt say i was offended.

B. Saying Youre not upset at it but having a big rant about why its a negaitve is kind of like saying no offense before insulting somebody.

Anyhow i dont see how trading has affected the draft in any largely inpactful way. Except while on the clock.

 

[VanillaCoke]

So is bodacious allowed to pick now?

Also what about this...?

 

[Captain Bowie]

Also what about this...?

No, give him a chance to re-pick.

 

[canuckking1]

Wait so helms Been picked

 

[canuckking1]

Pick is in

 

[Ainec]

Bodacious is OTC now

still trying to trade this pick coming up after him

looking to move down anywhere from 2/5-20 picks down
depending on how much spots I'm moving down I'd want to move up with my 19(26) so a very late round pick aka 4th line spot or with 1 of my 15th
-will trade down into the 23rd if it makes it more even

 

[canuckking1]

I think player trades aren't the best but I believe trading up to get a player you want are all good

smh pm me then

 

[DFAC]

Yeah sorry ck I picked Helm a while ago

 

[canuckking1]

^^^^ Damn

 

[McHortton]

Looking to make a trade! Everyone is available but if you want OEL it better be a damn good offer because I haven't had any worth considering for him yet...

Cap isn't a problem for me so I could help some people out with that. Looking for player + pick swap pick has to be coming up pretty quick though. Hit me up!

 

[nameless1]

Eller as the 4th line center.
Now that is depth.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Trying to get another trade done.

Get back to me 94 eleven and Canucker

How is your cap Vanilla?
It has to be tight now.

 

[Ainec]

Is Bodacious OTC till 10:55 or 2:22?

also my pick is still ft, not gonna cost a lot esp if you're within 2-10 picks

 

[RandV]

If you dont want to trade dont. Or dont sign up to a draft with trades.

The draft is the main draw here, it's much easier to cut out the trades and say "or don't sign up to a draft without trades". I mean if it was trading you're after we could just skip the draft start with full NHL rosters and let people have fun. The draft should be the main appeal here, personally I love drafting from scratch because you don't get to do it very often.

Really the problem is this:

They are fun, and addictive.

Some of you are addicts!

You get a trade then you want to do it again and again and again. There's no reason to the players you're trading for, like when Baby Shinkaruk made a big trade for Corey Perry because he already had Henrik and Daniel on one line and Getzlaf on the other. It's just an endless cycle of trading with no real point to it other than trading is fun.

Now I don't want to stop people from having their fun, but I'd rather keep that separate from the full league draft. I'd think a better format for the trade addicts is starting on June 30th with full NHL rosters, then you can start signing free agents and making trades to your hearts content and after have the vote on who did the best job.

For this draft from scratch format I'd rather remove trades (maybe allowing snake swaps), but if we have them two things are need:

1. An on the clock limit
2. A veto system

I like it best like a Yahoo league. The draft is the and once it's done trades open up but you can self police with veto's.

It's 10:55.

 

[Ainec]

It's 10:55.

canuckking1 made a mistake and selected Helm, he fixed it at 2:21

would need AoS to confirm

It's just an endless cycle of trading with no real point to it other than trading is fun.

Actually I had Sedins and Perry on one line and made a trade for Getzlaf. And to be fair I did have a reason for the trade. I wanted another #1 centre and I wanna win this draft.

Sure trading us fun, but I trade to win, not to have fun.

I see the point your trying to get at though.

 

[RandV]

How is your cap Vanilla?
It has to be tight now.

I tally it up to $62.221.

$9.179 for a backup, two 4th line wingers, and two RD, and 0-3 press box players. Tight if he wants a good dman for the top RD spot but otherwise doable.
