Wake Up The Sleeping Giant (A Leafs BAGM)

Re: Wake Up The Sleeping Giant (A Leafs BAGM)

Ok...

Love the defensive pairings for sure!!! Nice work on those takeshi! I really like Stalberg with Grabovski on the second line...if only Kadri was ready to center that line. That would be quite the line of young talent. Could you post the current forward lines. Trying to keep up with all the changes. Thanks and great job!

P.S. Laich scored a hat trick?!?!? I can't get that guy to score to save my life in my franchise. Wish I knew how the computer does it with him. I've noticed he's a 20+ goal scorer in a couple other franchises too. Grrr...

Thanks. The current forward lines are:

Line 1: N. Kulemin / T. Bozak / P. Kessel
Line 2: V. Stalberg / J. Mitchell / M. Grabovski
Line 3: L. Caputi / R. Wallin / C. Hanson
Line 4: F. Sjoström / W. Primeau / C. Orr

Let's see how Kadri plays in Marlies. If he performes well, maybe we can give him a chance.
In that game Laich was just lucky. Well it was my fault as well, but he scored a rebound and a breakaway, I just gave him the puck.

Also Takeshi, don't be offended if I say, "yay!" when you lose. I hate the leafs. But I'll give you conflicting morale support with my nice side.

"DON'T! The leafs suck!"

"Shut up, alter ego!"

Sorry about that

Re: Wake Up The Sleeping Giant (A Leafs BAGM)

Takeshi, I was wondering if I could use your idea for my dynasty. You know, putting other people onto the team and helping you make decisions. I just had my first game with Colorado. I think I've made them competitive with a few trades, but I still only won 6-3, and Nabokov was off his game. Osgood won't hold up forever!

So, can I take that idea?

Sure. This is a community, nobody owns anything. Good luck with your dynasty! I'll be the first to join.

Thanks. Good luck bringing the leafs back to glory. Maybe under your leadership the 67 curse will be ended.

Tough loss there against the Pens, but then again they are the Pens.

I was thinking about a comment you made a while ago about Wellwood - I always liked, what would you have to give up to get him?

Ok...

I agree with Bure here, to bad Kadri wasn't up for the task. He would be perfect centering that line. Go Leafs Go.

As an off topic note, maybe after I finish my Mustangs season I will do a Leafs (with some ideas from Bure's chise) but we will see.

I might be a little late but I'd like to be VP of Finance and Assistant Director of Hockey Operations.

I miss our management meeting from the Nashville days and your Minute Notes. It was a really cool idea.

Interesting choice to play Grabo on the wing, I like it.

Sure. Glad that you're back. We spend some good times. But we have another chance now. This time we will go to the end. Btw, I'm going back to those weekly reports. It's simple...

I didn't have other choice. He's terrible in the circle. And we have so many centers...

Re: Wake Up The Sleeping Giant (A Leafs BAGM)

2 wins and a loss, not bad. Kess the mess leading the Leafs, good showing.

I had another idea. The Leafs seem to be lacking a powerforward in thier line-up. Since you have Phaneuf who can quarterback you D, Kaberle is expendable. What I was thinking of is trading Kaberle to the ducks for Ryan. He's young and agressive around the net and a perfect fit for the Bozak-Kessel line. What do you think?

That's a good idea. Did you have some other player in mind? Just in case the Ducks don't want to trade Ryan.

Re: Wake Up The Sleeping Giant (A Leafs BAGM)

The problem is there are not alot of good young PFs in the league right now - many older ones and there are tons of prospects but not NHL ready ones in the 80+ rating scale.

1. I guess Lucic from Boston would be another good one (I assume you still have your first round pick for 2010, so if you want to kind of right a wrong you could trade Kaberle and your 1st round to Boston for Lucic and that way it would clear the Kessel trade as well).
2. Dustin Brown from LA is another good young PF
3. With Ryan you could go for Getzlaf or Bobby, with Bobby you would only have to swallow a 1.925 m contract instead of 5.325.

I personally would go for Bobby, what do others think?

Re: Wake Up The Sleeping Giant (A Leafs BAGM)

To add to my thought, I have become a more generous GM when dealing with the CPU. I like to tip the scale of fariness towards the CPU in a trade, so I would throw in a pick or prospect as well to make it fair.

That's a nice touch. We don't want to rip the CPU. I still think that Ryan it's the best choise, but that Lucic trade got me thinking. It will be fun to make things right and give boston the 1st round pick...
