Just got home from work and entered the ECFHL forum to check for updates from my replies to all the PM's. Was blown away from all the up roar over a trade between my Pens and the Blues.
Would like to clear everything up about the last couple days. Been a GM is FHLsim leagues for roughly 10 years. Only been in 4 league before the ECFHL. Only one of this leagues are still around which I'm still a GM in. This league has too long of a break between seasons, so I decided to post in the FHLsim website. Received two replies in a couple days. After checking both leagues I replied to Nick about joining his league. This was on Sunday night Aug 21st.
Both of this leagues had a weird simultaneity (Hope I didn't butler this word to much" between them...."Kevin Hess has been a GM in both" I have experience Kevin as a GM in one of my old leagues. Have to say in Kevin's defense....he is a good and bad GM is FHLsim leagues. From my experience Kevin's a very active GM but when you trying to make trades with him, it can be too much to take. There were times I want to punch my monitor trying to make a fair trade with him. Actually mention to Nick that I know Kevin from another league.
There was a few reason I decided to join the ECFHL. Want to join a league which has two season in a year. Looking for a league which was fairly new and a team which still had some assets.
Taking over the Pittsburgh Penguins the first issue was getting them back under the cap. So I decide to list some great trade bait to help improve my team now and for the future. Yesterday I realized this was my first and biggest mistake. My email's in box was overloading with trade offers. I know what it feels like when a team had no GM for awhile. Once that team's players are availble for trading, it's like piranhas on a piece of meat.
I have every team's trade offers on sheets of paper so I can keep them organized. My computer desk is just covered with these sheets. They say we should learn from our mistakes. This mistake reminds me of a GM from another league. This GM only posted one player on his trading block at a time. After this GM made a trade, another player gets put on his trading block. At the time I thought this was weird. I realize now he was really clever.
The second mistake was not knowing what PM's where. Had 14 messages in my PM's, dating back to Sunday night. Last night I replied to all of them.
My first trade offer was emailed on Sunday night to Tampa Bay. Hussian mention to me today that He didn't receive my email and believes it went to the old GM
My first trade talks was with PJ on Monday night. Unfortunately we couldn't come to a trade agreement. Everyone has untouchable players which I understand with PJ.
Second trade talks was with Alex later on Monday night. It took over 4 hours to hammer out a deal. It felt like I was in a 12 round battle with Alex.
Can't believe how much this trade between Pens and the Blues has cause an uproar between GM's. People analize over every trade ever made..."who got the better end to that trade?" Vancouver Canucks believe they made a great trade moving Peter McNab to Boston Bruins. The last piece to that trade for Boston Bruins was a 2nd round pick in 2006. This is figure out by the trickle effect from the trade. This 50th pick in the 2006 draft was Milan Lucic. It's not hard to see who ended up with the better deal.
It takes two GM's to agree on a trade and you can only hope it works out good for you. Looking back at all the trades I ever make in FHLsim leagues. Most of them workout really good and there ones I wished never make.
One last thing. With so many trade offers, I don't want to make a bigger mistake and have two trade agreements for the same player.
I apologize to all the GM's who felt they were left in the dark. I created a fire which became really hard to contain. Will do my best to work this out.
Will Pens GM
I also apologize to Nick for this uproar between the GM's. This isn't how I wanted my start in the ECFHL to be. I hope everyone can understand what I'm trying to say.
