This leaves me with.. 100K CDN in cash. I spent 500K in my first week of playing. How smart.. back to the Keeper.. good buy? Bad?

Are you going to train keeper? Not sure how that value stacks up in US$, is it straight 2:1 conversion? At $233,000 US, that's not bad at all (IIRC that's a high passable).

[MikeVic]

I got him as a starter.. I think conversion rates are a bit less now. I went by x-rates.com, so it's $359,152 USD. Are you saying that if I train keeper for a couple of weeks, he'll go up?

[Vince]

More than likely...that's pretty good value for a Passable keeper, I believe. Passables pop to Solid right at about 300,000 US$.

[MikeVic]

Oh ok, cool. But I'd have to change my assistant and goaltending coaches I guess? I have 9:1 Assistant:Goaltending.. or would he still pop with this setting? And is it worth it to have a Solid keeper on a new team?

[Vince]

Well, unless you're going to either sell him back for a profit or are going to continue to train keepers, I'd say leave him as is. Not all passables were created equal, so a high passable isn't that much worse than a low solid. The difference in ability will be slight at best.

[terpkristin]

I agree with Vince here...if you're not going to make a "long term" investment with him in terms of resale or switch training programs to GK, leave him as is. He's in passable form, I'm guessing he puts up 2.5-3*.

oh yeah and he is not that a high passable, would probably need 3-4 weeks of training ( http://www.hottrick.org/modules.php?...ht-keepers.php )

Unless I'm using that tool wrong, I get 59.something as his rating, and a 60 means he's solid.. doesn't that mean he's close? I'm still not going to train him, but just wondering if I'm reading this right.

[RPI-Fan]

FWIW, in the HT world, Canadian:US funds is 2:1.

[BreizhManu]

don't know how you can get 59, using the assessed value of 466000C$, I get Goaltending :
passable
56.355699673832

for a passable average form

[Matt2You]

All the currencey values are constant in Hattrick... It would just be a little too hard to keep them updated .

I would consider it an average buy, but with the crazy prices that go on today--I guess that makes it a good buy .

[BishopMVP]

I'd say 3 weeks to pop. Not worth it unless you're changing to GK training anyway. But good buy.

[MikeVic]

Opps. I was putting in a wrong number I guess. Good to know about the exchange rates being constant in hattrick, though.

[Mr. Wednesday]

I'd say two to three weeks of training.

The price is a little high for a passable keeper, I think, but I don't know how the Canadian market runs.
