Movie thread please!!!

Lets just have the waiver draft in the Hurl's basement. We could smoke cigars, drink beer, play poker and bet on the ponies as well. It will be a fun filled afternoon!

What are the chances Norris opens the season as the No. 5 starter?

I know lol was just joking.

Danny Santana

Impressive stretch of games from the Raptors. Houston will be a real test tonight and so will Golden State next Friday. I like the Raptors chances of going deep into the playoffs. The only teams in the East that I'm worried about are the Bulls and the Cavs. I was going to say the Heat as well, though Bosh could be done for the season.

He's a complete mess. I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole in any league.

Cheers!

The three I own have been disappointments this season, so I hope you're right

You have the other one so we will be talking soon

The thing is nobody inquired about the Sedin's at all other than you and BTS (which was a month ago). The other 17 teams had a fair and equal chance at making an offer or asking me about them, and they didn't. So what does that say? It told me there wasn't a huge market for them. You came in with a strong offer, though I told you I preferred a deal focused around a top young player already in the NHL. As for Bernier/ROR, I wasn't raped at all. ROR was taken ahead of Bernier in the same round, and the guy notched close to 70 pts last season as a 23-year-old. Bernier wasn't anything spectacular even with playing time, so its not like I was going to ride him to a championship ever. ROR as a potential 70-80 pt player is more valuable to me moving forward than a mediocre Bernier.
-
Me and Spanky are alright. We will have our disagreements from time to time, though there are no hard feelings or grudges held towards each other.
-
Bernier wasn't going to win me a championship anytime soon. I really like my offensive core now of Toews, Duchene, Landeskog, Galchenyuk, Tatar and O'Reilly moving forward along with some of my other pieces. I'm hoping Raanta or Darling get traded and get more playing time. Add another vet goalie into the mix possibly at some point in the offseason would really help.
-
Markets change, new goalies always come along and find their way into starting jobs.
-
We both were a match. Other teams asked me about Bernier though I was offered crap. I'm a huge ROR fan, and I think this deal worked out well for both clubs. I wasn't going to win with Bernier as my No. 1 goaltender period, so I'm sure he holds more value as a No. 2 to another team with another viable No. 1 goalie.
-
You're just getting your panties all tied up in knots because I didn't trade you the Sedin's. So every move I make now is me getting bent over?! Stop it.
-
Thanks for the math lesson. Was Bernier truly a No. 1 goalie? Would have I ever won anything with him? Don't think so.
-
I've been bent over again? Bernier isn't anything special to begin with. I actually prefer Reimer to Bernier in my opinion. He's quite overrated. But yeah I forgot, this league overvalues goalies! Even mediocre ones!
-
Yeah I understand. I doubt you move Lundqvist and teams move a Carey Price etc. Need to be a perfect match. I wasn't going to win anything with Bernier as my No. 1 goaltender anyways, so trading him for ROR doesn't crush me by any means. I love ROR and I believe he can be a top-6 forward.
-
There used to be a lot of talent at SS. Back in 2007/2008, guys like Tulo, Han-Ram, Rollins, Reyes, Hardy, Peralta and even Yunel were at the top of their game offensively. Even vets like Jeter, Guillen and Young were still valuable assets in fantasy.
-
True, though not ridiculously overpaying for a goalie if I'm dealing players like Toews.
-
Bernier isn't anything special.
-
A lot of Desmond's value is tied into his power numbers. If he doesn't produce 20+ HR's and 80-90 RBI, he's nothing special. His wRC+ has dropped three straight years and with him getting older, I'm sure he has already reached his peak. Desmond just worries me. I don't consider him a top 25-30 fantasy asset, let alone a Top 50 asset as some others would. He's definitely been one of the top SS's in the game over the past three years, though I would be scared trading a lot of talent or drafting him high in a redraft league as he enters his 30's. Castro isn't a sure bet, though I've always valued players who have age on their side, along with upside. I'd rather roll the dice on Castro over the next 5 years vs. Desmond. Just my opinion.
-
In a yearly league, I'd take Tulo, Desmond, Reyes, Hanley, and possibly Zobrist over Castro. Peralta has been quite awful offensively before and you know what you're getting with Alexei. Bogaerts has upside, no denying that. Though SS in essence is a weak position. After Tulo, the dropoff is huge. I probably would avoid taking a Desmond or Reyes in the Top 50-60 and wait to take a SS later on.
