Rook and Fallout, you guys both have PMs.

Just so people know, I'm planning on keeping Crosby and Niemi, as well as either Kunitz or Sedin.

So aside from Crosby or Niemi, by all means make with the offers, folks.

so if the deadline is march 21st, does that mean trades can be completed up until 11:59 on march 21st, or as of 12:00AM march 21st the rosters are frozen?

I'm open to trading:

Jamie Benn
Matt Duchene
Mike Ribiero

G Victor Fasth

I see people are trading Round 1 picks, but since we have 3 keepers, won't the 1st round pick be 4th round?

I'll be setting the draft to assign keepers in the final three rounds this year to avoid any errors like that

Nobody has any interest in Streit or Campbell? Surely somebody needs a defensive upgrade or two

I do! but with their +/-, it's mild interest.

You have a PM

At this point, Derek, with the momentum I have going into the playoffs, I'm not really looking to make any trades. Besides, I'd like to keep my good picks for next year.

Fair enough

If you change your mind, my cell phone forwards all league emails to me and I check that damn thing relentlessly so don't hesitate to send an offer.

So, curious. What are the standings in your pool now that we've passed the half way point?

I'm in 6th right now. I think I was around 12th about three weeks ago.

in 4th, down from 2nd after a close week with mobius, in fact he's tied with me right now.

and derek, i'm not really interested in anybody you have other than crosby (who i know you're not trading), and i still don't think i'd give up my 1st rounder even for him. even if i was getting yours (or whoevers) 2nd round pick back, if i give up my first i basically won't pick until almost the 30th pick. that's waaaayyyy too late to hope to have any chance next year IMO, so highest i'm willing to go in dealing my picks is my 2nd (which will likely be in the #15-20 range)

Good week last week, hope to keep it going.

Cool.

I'm in a pool with 16 teams as well. I'm not sure how i like it yet. Some teams seem to be packed really tightly while others were out of the running so quickly.

I'm in a head to head pool with 7 buddies, same categories as ours. I'm in third place, gearing up to make a run for the playoffs. If Spezza and Kesler can both come back in time, I'll be loaded up real nicely in that one.

the other pool i'm in is a scoring only league, and it's much the same

ours is a head to head league, with 30 points up for grabs every week. essentially, it would be possible at the current standings to go from last to 1st with 2 good weeks. unlikely, but possible.

I'm in second place. I've been in the top four all year.

In my other pool I'm eleventh out of twenty and can't seem to get any momentum going.

Is draft serpentine or straight (last picks first in even rounds or last picks last in every round)?

Hey Numen, what will it take to get Edler?

Draft pick.

K, sent you a proposal. If its not enough, i'm out.

Ok.

And Rook, I see your offer. I'm waiting to hear about draft before I counter.

Nice, my defense is solid now.

Edler
Streit
OEL
Keith
Visnovsky

Pretty happy with my team now, hopefully Malkin stays healthy when he's back.
