Gave up a ton of picks, picked up some others

I believe they took my trade proposal button away at Jeff's request.


First keeper league so I am learning as I go. Lovin' it!

I see two Canadian Gothic players...Rob Schremp and Bryan Little.

Well even though the trade button was taken away from ROFB, that doesn't mean others can't make offers.

We have just been offered Vermette for Bernier.

Sadly the GM of the ROFB is busy being a chipleader at the FT of a $4.40 and cannot make any decisions for the team this evening but will consider it.

The Royal Oak Fearsome Beavers have not accepted the deal for Vernette for Bernier.

But this evening the Beavers are pleased to have added Nigel Dawes to the club and will be spending .50 for 4 years for his services.


Eventually we need to get ourselves a defense.

This team has two good players in Wellwood and Gionta..The rest are blah..mUch like the owners own views on hockey.

HAHAHA

its ok though you are a very good guy...Ill cheer for your team on occasion , just because of Wellwood

Recent additions to the team now that the supplemental draft for the 3 expansion teams is finished

Justin Abdelkader F DET
Ben Maxwell F MON
David Toews F NYI
Colby Robak D FLA
Peter Regin F OTT

Abdelkader is a steal...

I think so, I was surprised I could get him. I was at a couple games last year at the end of the season when he played and he looks really strong. He was fast, good shot, good passing. He should be a good offensive 3rd liner in the next couple years.

I was worried he would be a two-way kinda guy with little to no value in the FCHL. detroit manages to get absurd things out of their prospects so anything is possible...

I am so mad about Abdelkader. I had him as my next pick, but I didn't bother to do research until after my first 2 in the supp draft. If I would have known he was available, I would have taken him in the first round. Bleh.

Taking him in the first round would have been a mistake imo. I think he'll be a good NHL player but fantasy-wise I think he's a 50-55 point guy max.

meh, it was the first round of the supp draft, so that's after the 5-round actual entry draft... we had 5 rounds, snake style with just the 3 expansion teams... I dunno, I didn't actually research, I'd just heard his name before!!!!!

yeah, I think zach was better off doing what he did.

no one will ever match my domination, though...

1. Reserves - Pat White, F, VAN
2. Beavers - David Toews, F, NYI
3. Limidonks - Luca Sbisa, D, PHI
4. Limidonks - Jared Staal, F, PHO
5. Beavers - Ben Maxwell, F, MON
6. Reserves - James Neal, F, DAL
7. Reserves - TJ Galiardi, F, COL
8. Beavers - Justin Abdelkader, F, DET
9. Limidonks - Vladimir Mihalik, D, TB
10. Limidonks - Logan MacMillan, F, ANH
11. Beavers - Colby Robak, D, FLA
12. Reserves - Simon Hjalmarsson, F, STL
13. Reserves - Colin Long, F, PHO
14. Beavers - Peter Regin, F, OTT
15. Limidonks - Janne Pesonen, F, PIT

So the expansion draft has begun for Strat, Zach and I.

So far I have added the following players to my team:

hecht, jochen
ponikarovsky, alexei
beauchemin, francois
lang, robert
detroit red wings
white, todd
guerin, bill
Carlo Colaiacovo
Reinprecht, Steve


3 more picks left

who was the donkey that left Pony unprotected....thats laughable

mrdannyg. I forget what pony's contract was.

I have him for a $1 up till the 10/11 season

2 more picks have been added

Carlo Colaiacovo
Reinprecht, Steve

Updated the OP with newly updated roster.

Went into the FA Draft needing 9 players, mostly Dmen. I had $12 of cap to do this and no clue what was about to unfold.

Here were my picks and costs

Johnsson, Kim 1.25
Brewer, Eric 0.5
Commodore, Mike 0.5
Tucker, Darcy 0.75
Walker, Scott 1.5
Upshall, Scottie 1.25
Modin, Fredrik 1
Daley, Trevor 1.25
Ericsson, Jonathan 0.5

I am fine with my draft. Not the best but decent enough to make me competitive I think. I have no thoughts of playoffs but I don't think I am fighting for last either.

Here is how the Fearsome Beavers look going into the 08/09 FCHL Season




The Farm Team



And the uniforms have been released as well

Definitely a creative way to out your own joke account.

Yeah, I can't keep up the charade for long. Plus I like this account better.

08/09 FEARSOME BEAVER SEASON PREVIEW:


We will be lucky to win 20 games.

FORWARDS

Gionta, Brian-4.75 4.75 FA
I like him and think he will put up decent numbers for me, probably one of the few. His future on this team is based on what I can get for him now or near the trade deadline. 24G 24A

Stillman, Cory- 3 3 FA
Same as Gionta, not a huge point getter but pretty much all I have. Another one who gets traded at some point of the season.
21G 33A

Recchi, Mark-2 FA
Eh, whatever. He is a warm body and might be surrounded by good players to sqeak out a few extra points. 12G 24A

White, Todd- 1 1 FA
Nothing special, nothin to get too excited about. Maybe he breaks out this year or next. 14G 23A

Ponikarovsky, Alexei - 1 1 1 FA
Could be good, could be blah. Never really know with this team right? lol 20G 19A

Guerin, Bill- 1.5 1.5 FA
He will put up some points and hopefully stay healthy. 22G 19A

Samsonov, Sergei-1 1 1 1 1 FA
He was the first contract signing where I was messing about with the thing and accidentally signed him for 5 years. I will be buying him out at some point. 20G 25A

Modin, Fredrik- 1 RFA
A warm body who should play some hockey. He should be a top 4 scorer for the Blue Bonnets. 21G 20A

Upshall, Scottie 1.25 RFA
Picked him up during the FA draft and am happy to have him on the Beavers. Other than that who knows. 16G 20A

Walker, Scott 1.5 RFA
Blah, Blah, Blah. I doubt I will be resigning him next season. 16G 23A

Lang, Robert 1 FA
Maybe trade bait. I am happy he got moved to Montreal. I think he might put up better numbers there. 21G 38A

Bernier, Steve 1.50 1.50 1.50 1.50 FA
This guy could end up getting me some good swag come trade deadline. After getting him during the off season I was bombarded with trade offers. Hopefully he has the expected season and he will have a chance to be traded to a playoff team where he can help a team win the Championship. 100G 213A

Wellwood, Kyle- 1 1 1 1 FA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 12G 31A if he loses some weight

Tucker, Darcy .75 RFA
I don't know much about Darcy. If he gets me a point or two then good for him, I doubt he will be resigned next season. 23G 23A

Hecht, Jochen .25 .25 .25 .25 .25 FA
For .25 for the next 5 years, I love him. 20G 32A

Reinprecht, Steve .50 .50 FA
If he can stay healthy he should get me some points here and there. Nothing too special though. 15G 28A

Schremp, Rob - .75 .75 .75 .75 FA
Hopefully he keeps impressing MacT and gets a spot on the team. I haven't looked in the past week though so I might be in for some bad news. But he may be the future of the Beavers.

Little, Bryan .50 .50 .50 .50 FA
I like his upside if he can play with Kovy. We'll see if I he can make me look better since the trade for him was so ridiculously bad on my part that I am still haunted by it today. 15G 24A

Dawes, Nigel - .50 .50 .50 .50 FA
He has got to get better right? 22G 25A

DEFENSE

Johnsson, Kim - 1.25 RFA
Probably one of my best D men on my crappy team. 6G 22A

Beauchemin, Francois - 1 1 1 1 FA
The only other bright spot of my shotty D. 4G 25A

Daley, Trevor 1.25 RFA
I know nothing of Trevor. I needs D men at the FA draft and he was there and I took him. 5G 20A

Colaiacovo, Carlo - .25 .25 .25 .25 .25 FA
If he can stay healthy and get a regular spot on the team then I think I am happy with this expansion draft pick up. Took him off Danny for nothing and he has been trying to get him back ever since. I have no clue what his numbers would be.

Commodore, Mike .50 RFA
New team, less issue, hopefully means more points. 4G 22A

Brewer, Eric .50 RFA
I know nothing about Eric, again, I needed a D man and he was there for .50. 3G 22A

Ericsson, Jonathan .50 RFA
Should not play a factor at all this year. If I could he would be in my farm. He should be a regular on the Wings D next year and from what I have seen and heard he should be a great offensive D man. He will ride the pine for the Beavers all year unless the Wings have some major injuries on D.

GOALIES

Washington .50 .50 .50 .50 FA
Decent enough, shouldn't hurt me too bad and should cover the nights my other goalie team is not playing.

Detroit 4.5 5 5.5 6 FA
Way overpriced but I don't need the cap so who cares. When I get to play them I should be ok in goal and might help me sqeak out a rare win or 2.

FARM
Nemisz, Greg
Beach, Kyle
Ennis, Tyler
Abdelkader, Justin
Maxwell, Ben
Regin, Peter
Robak, Colby

I have no plans to bring any farm players up.

Your forwards are actually not that bad. A lot of your players are capable of puting up some points for stretches. At the end of the season they're not Tier 1 players but they certainly can be for stretches at a time.

LOL 313 points coming from Bernier. 3.8 points a game. Guy is going to get massive MVP considerations, and will outscore Crosby, Thornton, and Heatley combined.

agreed. Steve, let me know when you want to upgrade a few pieces up front. I gots good guys for cheap.

So far the Beavers have performed well losing their first game against last years FCHL Champs by .5 point then picking up two wins vs the Reserves 2 -1 and the Injured Reserve 2.5 -1.

Still early and nothing to get excited about as against any other teams I would have lost all three of those nights but a win is a win.

fths!

Big divisional game tonight against the front runner Broadway. A win for me and a Maroons lost will put me alone in first in Division Supreme.

Here is the matchup right now for the night though lineups are sure to change throughout the day.


Royal Oak Fearsome Beavers

Bryan Little
Bill Guerin
Steve Bernier
Darcy Tucker
Cory Stillman
Brian Gionta
Eric Brewer
Kim Johnsson
Trevor Daley

Detroit Red Wings



Broadway

Alexander Ovechkin
Mike Ribeiro
Mike Comrie
Milan Hejduk
Joe Sakic
Brad Boyes
Nicklas Lidstrom
Sami Salo
Jack Hillen
Braydon Coburn

New Jersey Devils


On my bench:
Wellwood
White
Recchi
Upshall

Got my ass handed to me by Broadway last night...7-2. It was horrible but felt oddly sensual.


Tonight will be the samething against the Ales. No goalies and short a D man. Oh well, at least I got Zach tomorrow night.

This week the Fearsome Beavers made a couple cuts but added two players to help round out the lineup.

Kyle "Can you pass the powdered sugar please" Wellwood was cut earlier this week and replaced with Alex Burrows. This will most likely spark the end of his scoring streak.

The Beavers were sad to have to let go of prospect Jonathan Ericcson. While the Beavers wanted to keep him and just give up the roster spot for the season with the expectation of Ericsson playing full time next year, the reality was, we needed a player who played daily to fill those often empty D man spots. So the Beavers picked up Henrik Tallinder. Not a prolific point getter but will do for now. He played his first game last night for the Beavers and netted the winning assist.


The Beavers are 4-3 but sadly in the better division where they sit 3rd. Any other division they would be in the top spot.

The Beavers have 2 games against the Tulane Flyers and the Lost Cause. If we can get out of the weekend with one win we will be content.

Since it seems to be working for Zach I guess I will try and get some assistance and thoughts on lineups since I keep losing and usually in the very last minutes of the night.


So here is the matchup for Wednesday...




Tulane Flyers

Ales Kotalik
Rod Brind'Amour
Ryan Smyth
Jarret Stoll
Jeff Carter
Saku Koivu
Philippe Boucher
Kimmo Timonen
Sergei Zubov
Roman Hamrlik
Goalie
Montreal Canadiens

Here are my choices

Forwards:
Todd White @ Wash *
Bryan Little @ Wash *
Robert Lang @ Det *
Jochen Hecht vs Bos *
Bill Guerin vs Pens *
Brian Gionta @ Florida *
Rostislav Olesz vs Devils
Mark Recchi vs NYR
Steven Reinprecht @ Columbus
Cory Stillman vs Devils (possibly still concussed)
Scottie Upshall @ Carolina
Scott Walker vs Flyers
Nigel Dawes @ TB

Defense:
Kim Johnsson vs Dallas *
Trevor Daley @ Minn *
Mike Commodore vs PHX *
Carlo Colaiacovo @ Colo *
Henrik Tallinder vs Bos

Goalies:
Washington vs Atl
Detroit vs Habs


*are who I have in the lineup now...still undecided on my goalies

I doubt Cola will play on Wednesday. Like Serge says, it takes a few days for their immigration crap to process, so I go with Tallinder for that spot.

Forwards look good, I think.

keep an eye on, and start considering, Walker. He has played much better of late, and has had lots of chances. He will have a couple of good statistical games very soon. Id tell you to consider him Wed., but not sure who you would scratch.

also, make sure TWhite is healthy. There are questions in Atl whether he had a concussion last week or not.

I pretty much agree. Walker and White seem like a tossup, so I would put Walker in just in case White is a game time decision.

Good point on Carlo. Didn't even think about the visa stuff.

I thought White was cleared but I will look more into that.

Btw, why is your name now Piddle Duck?

I came into work one day and all my passwords were reset. I no longer had any idea what my password to my SBriand account was but I knew this accounts pw so I signed it and used it. MY home computer automatically signs me in as SBriand so now I just use Duck at work and SB at home. Plus, some in OT find me more relaxing as Piddle. But that is another story all together.

Wow...

I won.

What goalies do I play tonight,

WAS v NYI

DET v VAN

I lean towards WAS

Irrelevant.

I say vancouver because they can't score and suck generally outside of k-well.

There was some talk before the games last night that some of the matchups were terribly lopsided and one of those mentioned twice was the Beavers vs. The Ales. Now I have the utmost respect for the Ales. They beat me the only other meeting this year but I was surprised how our team was just fodder for them. I held a brief meeting after the morning skate and told my boys that this is the time to start proving that we are a contender, that any given night we can put up points and strike fear into some of the other teams. We have a long way to go to be consistent winners but we have the ability to take control. The last 2 weeks we have played about 50 minutes of hockey only to sit back the last 10 and see our leads diminish and our 2 pts taken away. THIS HAS TO STOP. TODAY WE FIGHT!

And my boys did just that. I took out Hecht, Upshall, and Lisin and replaced them with Burrows, Reinprecht and Poni. Those three went out and got me 5 goals on top of assists by Guerin and Gionta and a goal by Langer. Sadly my goalies were horrible but in the end they were not needed. By the end of the night we ended up winning 4.5 to 1 and hopefully showed the rest of the league that we are not going to be a easy win night in and night out.

Next up is Adam and the Lost Cause. I think we are screwed.

change that attitude! come on, you can do it.

nice win last night, keep it up. (except when you play me)

Ya, good work. Keep beating the rest of my division, plz.

*****OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE FROM THE ROYAL OAK FEARSOME BEAVERS PR DEPT.******

The Royal Oak Fearsome Beavers today announced the release of player Nigel Dawes following a much-publicized series of remarks Mr. Dawes recently made about platypuses. Said a team official, “We could not in good faith retain a player who has so little regard for the magical platypus, a creature with whom we share not only our flat tails and wonky big teeth but also an appreciation of wood working and jokes about sailors.”

Mr. Dawes release follows on the wet, slippery heels of his cruel comments about the ungainly nature of the platypus form. “They’re fat little f***ers!” said the former Fearsome Beaver. “Like if Elisha Cuthbert swallowed a manatee. Or vice versa. I just don’t like ‘em.”

4pts out of the playoffs but looking to sell assets.

Have interested parties in Stillman and Lang at the moment.
