Hi All,
So I've been curious - I see what some managers are putting in the trade block sometimes and it surprises me, so I wanted to create a poll that states what everyone believes is the current state of their JGHL team. I hope the options are clear and distinct enough, and if I have to make edits I will.
To me it will be interesting to see how we feel about our teams. For example I believe I am a piece or two away - I think I'm good enough for playoffs but my cap restrictions really limit me getting the next level.
Not looking for everyone to answer, but I think it could lead to discussion on if we have multiple teams who are trying to rebuild, why they think that now is the time, and if teams are building up to being cup contenders, why they are choosing now to go for it.
Thanks for reading - I hope people find joy in discussing these things - I sure do!

Lol Hunter, 18-19 Panthers though.. Not sure it gets worse than that.
I chose first option because I believe it's always a possibility, even if you don't have the best ratings per say. Trying to be more conservative this year, but at the same time I'd rather move to Iran than see another Montreal/Pittsburgh cup win, so might need to beef up to ensure it doesn't happen. Or just beat them with the roster as is, it would actually be even sweeter.

I feel like i'm still 2-3 seasons away but lots of pieces in place for a long successful time. with 4 picks in the first two round this coming draft as well ill be adding to the cupboard. Guys like Kase and Mittelstadt haven't panned out how i hoped (Casey's only 20, hes got time) but with guys like Hintz, Sandin, Byram, Vrana, Hoglander, and Primeau in the wings ( Pun intended?) I'm excited to see how these next 2 seasons play out. Also kinda funny i just saw your post about team previews in the shoutbox there Eug, I have like 7 team write ups sitting on my PC that i just haven't posted lol

I just enjoy trading players what can I say.
This is probably surprisingly my favorite team I have ever had in this league. It has been fun finally having forwards have chemistry like this. It has seemed for the previous 10+ years line chemistry rare. I donβt think itβs my best team at all, but itβs the most fun.
That being said now Bergeron and Stamkos will probably go in a huge cold streak.

Love talking trade even with guys who overvalue and you know who you all are. LOL Just busting balls! I built, rebuilt numerous times. I use to carry older guys and just go year to year with older guys just changing them out for another older guy. now trying young last few seasons and its fun, then get itch to talk trades so that is what I try to do!

I think I'm somewhere between retooling and rebuilding. I really thought it would go a lot faster, but I'm pretty shocked at the more than lack of inquiries/interest in guys like Tavares, Doughty and Karlsson

I consider my team a playoff team, not a Cup contender just yet.

I selected rebuild, but to be honest, the right answer is not listed. It should have the option of "shit show"... I like to think that I am rebuilding, but then I get to antsy and decide that I want to make a run for it, and screw the rebuilding plan, only to restart the following season. It also does not help that I also like to trade Eventually, I will stick to my guns, go full fledge rebuild... Well, I hope "Stick to your guns and go full fledge rebuild" yeahhhh that's what they all say!!!!

I would love to acquire another player (d or winger or both) but I can't see it happening without the cap bump.
If anyone wants to make a handshake, I'm in?!

Clearly in rebuild, or if there is a lower option I would chose that as I am not sure there is much to rebuild with here right now.
I would have thought my team was easily in the bottom 3 this year looking at the (lack of) talent on my roster but it seems there are a lot of rebuilding teams this year so the competition for the bottom is very fierce.
