Trade and Free Agent Game

[Datsyerberger 279]

I will repeat support for the two-seaso system. Maybe over the summer we use EHM/NHL 08 and then use the actual 08-09 stats for the second season.

I'm in total agreement with RedFX on this one. Summer/early fall season is emulated in a simulator, sorta a fantasy season style. Season 2 closely follows both the real season and the playoffs.

QUESTION: Can I be GM of one team and Assistant GM of another team???

Tell me if this sounds like a bad idea, but I think that we (or I will) creat another thread just for advertising yourself. You can say that you need and assistant there so people dont have to weed throught multiple pages of post just to find that one post that they need.

Just an idea......

Position: Agent

Superstars: Rick Nash, Henrik Lundqvist, Jarome Iginla

Mid-Level: Scott Gomez, Devin Setoguchi, Marc-Andre Fleury, Alex Kovalev

Journeyman/Entry: Brian Rafalski, Mark Recchi, Mike Peca, Brian Rolston, Miro Satan

Let me say right off the bat, that it doesn't really matter to me what players you have. On that note i think you have undervalued some players.

Scott Gomez: The guy was near the top of everyones free agent list and hes making 10 million. He is a superstar.

Alex Kovalev: 84 points in 82 games. Montreals best player. Superstar.

Rafalski: Had his best season yet. He is not a journeyman considering his productivity isn't decreasing.

Rolston: Still putting up 30 goal seasons. Hes Mid-level.

Once again. I really don't have a problem with who you have, because at this point with so few agents it isn't a big deal. So when we more than likely add more players because there is a lack of agents i would suggest getting some young guys.

Journeymen are more like Dallas Drake or Darren McCarty. Someone like Roenick or Nolan might be considered one as well. Someone who is in the last couple years of their career and tends to get the 1-year deals. Alot of those journeymen would fall under mid-level, Recchi would probably be an exception.

If it looks like it would be an unfair advantage, you'd have to change it. That's up to the other agents and the other advisors.

I really like RedFXs idea of making the first season a simulator and the second season based on real stats, that could be fun.

Also, if anyone wants to be the Assistant GM for Montreal:

~Budding young team

~Prime Location, in close proximity to schools, supermarkets, and recreation

~You can't go wrong!

(~Downside: The French)

Drop me a message if interested

It's no problem. Like I said, I've never done this before. I tweaked the picks to try and smooth it out.

[digitaljohn88 4]

Go for it.

[irishtemper14+25 11]

do you have to have an assistant gm?

well if anyone wants to see mueller and turris tear it up phoenix needs one =D

[YoungGuns1340 1]

A couple things:

Digitaljohn88, Datsyukian Geek edited his picks 6 minutes before you, so Dan Ellis is taken. I see you´ve got a goalie theme going, so maybe RFA Kari Lehtonen might be a good option. Hes on the list of players in desperate need of agents, as they have contracts upcoming that need to be renewed.

You do NOT need an Assistant GM. It is simply a matter of PREFERENCE. If you want to go it alone, feel free to.

I think the consensus is that we will do TWO seasons, but I still want to have a few more agents before we start the game. Also, it seems people like the idea of doing the first season by using NHL08, and the second season being determined by a point system that would mirror the NHL. I personally like this idea, as it would give us something to do over the summer, and in the 2nd season, it would allow us to have a more realistic outcome, but using actual player performances as indicators rather than a simulator.

HOWEVER, Im going to need a group of people who are willing to play out the games on NHL 08. Which leads me to another question. Would you guys like to play the simulation season in the NHL off-season and then start our season up when the actual NHL starts theres in October? Think about it and post your opinions so we can get this thing on the road.

Once we decide what to do, I will post the finalized rules, dates, etc. in a new thread which will only be used to post standings, trades, and free agent signings.

LOL. I only edited to add my picture, I probably had Ellis first by a couple minutes

Regardless, I don't really mind. Lehtonen it is

[KrazyGangsta 79]

Can we have a special thread only agents can edit their post as of telling us wich fa is signed and who their representing and no1 else can post it in so it could be organised a bit

[Reds4Life 51]

Is Buffalo GM still available? If yes, I'd lke to accept that position.

[YoungGuns1340 1]

Do you mean right now, or once the game starts? Cause Id like to get a few more members to be agents (hopefully 12) before the game starts.

[digitaljohn88 4]

My agent picks have been updated to reflect the new limits. Pretty sure none of my new ones have been chosen already

[Dano33 41]

Please add Kovalchuk, Kopitar, Mathieu Garon, and Mike Smith as players i will represent as an agent if none are taken please.

[irishtemper14+25 11]

so are we gonna have like the gms play eachother in nhl 08? or is just gonna be a few designated players cuz prolly a lot of the gms dont have nhl08, but i do so if i can be gm/player i will =D

[Datsyukian Geek 2]

To bring my picks up to the 16 player limit:

+1 Superstar: Joe Thornton

+2 Mid: Martin Erat, Ron Hainsey

+1 Journeyman/Entry: Marty Lapointe

*hopes he got them in in time*

[YoungGuns1340 1]

RULES, GUIDELINES, AND HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED HAS BEEN UPDATED IN THE FIRST POST. PLEASE CHECK THE FIRST POST AND GIVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

1.What do you think of the point system to be used during the regular NHL season? Suggestions?

2. How many games would you like to see simulated by NHL08? Would you like to see games simulated by NHL 08? Would you prefer to use a different simulator?
