Double thumbs up Ray!
If someone wants to be a basement dweller every season just to have the trump card in FA, go ahead. Agree with Ray nothing is really "broken". That trade wasn't good by any stretch imo but it probably won't happen often enough to change rules or add more things to keep track of.
Now let's look forward to shock and overreaction to the unassigned bids! Anders Lee is about to get a nice fresh 9.5 million dollar deal

Just a reminder that this league is literally all something we like to do FOR FUN. At the end of the day it's not that serious.
Let me say that again...
FOR FUN

Well I'm just here for...
*Eug's (make be-Leafs) awesome trade block posts *Talking trades with Trader Ron (NJD), who's always up for a trade! (or just to shoot the breeze about life!) *Ole Philly Ray's voice of reason *Aaron's (Jets) super in season JGHL updates *Scott's (NYI) superlative sarcasm and disgruntledness (is that word!?!) *Mike's (Pens) meteoric rise to the top *Monty's (Habs) mammoth epic rebuild (the end has finally come!) *Jon's outstanding leadership *watching whoever I trade to Greg turn into epic superstars (William Karlsson, Mattias Ekholm, for example!) *Opening the Battle of AB trade floodgates (though should probably close the gates after dealing Rantanen to Bobby!) *and all the other cool dudes here...
Think Ray's right - don't really need to fix what ain't broken... Still worth exploring changes for the better, if agreed to by most of us - as Jon and I alluded to - but keeping it aas simple as possible if any changes are deemed necessary and worth trialing.

I'm here for.. in no particular order: - fun + comradery + community aspect of our league - squeezing and refilling my competitive juices - making trades and complaining about other's trades (personal fav) - making awesome trade block posts for Chris - maintaining/growing my rivalry with Pittsburgh, and reigniting it with Bloque Quebecois - definitely not rebuilding/farming prospects, been there done that my ADD won't allow it anymore - grabbing the odd diamond in the rough from the unassigned list - being silly and sarcastic because oh that's just so me tee hee - hopefully winning again at some point because that's still to this day one of my highest achievements in life

JGHL GMs frantically googling guys from the Unassigned List like "Bogdan Kiselevich" to see if he's actually a real hockey player...

Which would be entertaining if we put one made up name per year on the Unassigned List to see if someone would actually put in a claim. {this idea reminds me of this awesome story: thehockeywriters.com/taro-tsujimoto-drafted/

What in the Son of Olof is going on today - there's no way these trades are Fair, Brother!?
{Just kidding, of course; some nice value trades by our new main man in Buffalo whos proving to be quite savvy by my eye, and the JGHL is always more fun when Trader Ron is in town!)
And just when ya thought Eug couldn't possibly make any more huge deals, he just keeps on adding key pieces...the Beasts in the East keep getting scarier...

Ha thanks but still don't think I'm as scary as the Flames, Preds, and dare I say those smelly Habs. Don't have the star power at forward (jesus you have some big names up front Chris). It'll be interesting, it's the most offense on D I've ever had and Kuemper has been rock solid. But I'm still an underdawg
