GM Game 2017-18 Boston Bruins

Created by: FryesLeapMaine
Team: 2017-18 Boston Bruins
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 10, 2018
Published: Feb. 25, 2018
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Spooner auction: minimum starting bid = any 2018 2nd

Rules: auction ends May 3rd 11:59pm
Only 2018 picks count
Only b or better prospects count: to be a b prospect a player must have been drafted in the first 3 rounds or a late pick who has risen dramatically since being drafted.
I hold sole discretion of value judging unless a case of very similar value which would indicate a tie. In result of a tie, the person who offered that value first is declared winner. Any bid that meets the starting criteria can win if not outbid. He will be sold to highest bidder even if only one bid is established as long as the starting criteria of a 2018 2nd has been met or exceeded.
Good luck to anyone who participates.

                                              Prices on Celharik and Czarnik


                                              Cehlarik is being kept because I thought he was better than Heinen last season, but injuries have derailed him this season. Czarnik is tricky because he doesn't really have a spot, but I know he's a good player. He'd probably be used to upgrade to a better player as part of a package. I don't really see any reason to trade him as he's a great depth fill in player and an RFA who I can probably retain for cheap.

                                              Hey there, I'm looking to be an AGM for a team in this league and was wondering if you would take me on. I was a GM in the last season with Dallas and am a Bruins fan so I know the players and prospects pretty well as I've been following them for years. Let me know! Cheers


                                              Hello, Thanks for stopping by. I'm not sure if I want an AGM yet, I just started so I kinda want to make a few trades first and see how it goes. I'll think about it though if you don't join another team I may have a spot available in a couple weeks.

                                              We'd need better prospects then what you have listed. Those players listed just don't cut it in our eyes.


                                              Holden is the #8 defenseman right now. You're asking for more than he was worth in real life and everyone knows that A. Rentals have less value on here than in real life and B. Picks and prospects have more value on here than in real life.

                                              Grzelcyk is being kept. Spooner I want an upgrade rental or low salary player.


                                              I do have interest in Spooner, but not sure who from my team you might consider.
                                              So if you could have a look and just let me know if anyone stands out for you we ca go from there.

                                              Thanks

                                              Any chance Brandon Carlo gets dealt? I'd be quite interested if that was an option.

                                              He'd only be put in a package for a better young RHD.

                                              @FryesLeapMaine Saw your post about sweetening a deal to take on Beleskey, and I might be interested - what would you think about something like this?

                                              Beleskey + 2018 2nd + 2019 5th for Brian Gibbons

                                              Gives you the cheapest rental possible who is actually scoring at a good rate this year for NJD (2.23 pts/60) and I can handle Beleskey for a couple more years while I finish off my rebuild. To me, the burden of the Beleskey contract is worth a little more than a 3rd, and Gibbons is probably worth a 5th as a pure rental. Something to consider... if we were to do something like this it would be in March because I'm out of Feb deals, so let me know what you think.

                                              Edit: just saw Gibbons is out for another week with a broken thumb. Not sure if that would change anything, just giving you full disclosure.

                                              I don't want Gibbons. I'm going to sit on a 3rd for someone to take Beleskey. I think a 2nd is too steep at this point in time and I might just buy him out after the year is over. It'd be like the retaining in real life only it'd last 2 seasons longer. That could end up being my primary option as I'd get to use the pick myself to add another good prospect to my collection.

                                              Ok fair enough. Let me know if you change your mind or if you need to move that cap closer to the deadline. Any chance you move Gildon?

                                              I would move Gildon for a comparable RHD.

                                              I could potentially take Beleskey but I'd want better compensation than a 3rd and would prefer the compensation to either be at the bare minimum a 1st in 2018 or a 1st + in 19

                                              I could potentially take Beleskey but I'd want better compensation than a 3rd and would prefer the compensation to either be at the bare minimum a 1st in 2018 or a 1st + in 19


                                              I'm working on a deal for the 3rd for someone to take him. I'd rather just buy him out than give a 1st.

                                              fair enough. good luck. I know a few teams likely won't take a 3rd as compensation... we tend to do FA pretty big around here

                                              There are more than a few teams that won't take him for a 3rd, but the majority of the league is trying to make the playoffs. This deal isn't for them to want or like. It's for a team which has 10 to 15M extra that knows for certain that they'll have atleast 5M extra they won't touch. If you put yourself in the shoes of a team that had 5M extra that you knew you weren't going to use for 2 seasons while you rebuild, a 3rd rounder wouldn't look like bad value. It'd basically be a free 3rd rounder for something that your not even going to utilize otherwise.

                                              well I know teams like Arizona would want more, Nashville (rebuilding in game) would want more, SJ may make that deal but would likely want a good prospect along with it... like I'm not going for playoffs, but have players that need to be resigned to larger deals that may interfere with me picking up a cap hit (Skjei, Lindholm?, etc) + having to pay Marc Staal and Dan Girardi 5M + next season :[.

                                              depends on which fish bite tbh

                                              teams that are gearing for rebuilds: Arizona, Detroit, Colorado, Nashville, NJ, Buffalo, Vegas, NYR (thats 8/30 fish that may or may not be willing to take Beleskey)

                                              So in a Nash for Spooner deal, how about just some upgrades coming my way? You're 1st is going to be late and my 2nd could be top 10, 15th at the latest. And id like to get my hands on St Louis kids woll for Binnington (Ahl all-star, ready now, playing for Providence). I'd put a condition on the 1st/2nd swap, if the Blues make the I'll just get a 3rd.

                                              I'm honestly contemplating just resigning Spooner now. Even a 1 for 1 for Nash isn't that great of an option for me. Advanced analytics mostly point to him being a worse player than Ryan Spooner this season. I am aware that he is actually a little bit better and would make a slightly better impact but it's like trading a 2nd line RW who I can have for as many years as I want in exchange for a slightly better RW who I'll only have for a quarter of a season because I'm not going to have the money to outbid people in UFA. Adding more pieces to an already terrible deal will not work.

                                              Even if I could, what would I have to pay? Do I have to give more than a single year to a 33 year old? Nash definitely has some positive features that are better fits than Spooner to the real life Boston Bruins, but if I decided to sign Spooner to a 4 year deal which would take him until the age of 30 or if I signed Rick Nash to 1 year deals for 4 seasons until the age of 37, who would I get more out of over that period of time? I think Ryan Spooner is still getting better and unfortunately Rick Nash hit a major snag about 3 years ago and like everyone else who ages he's on the way down. It's an easy decision to decline Spooner + for Nash given my current situation.

                                              You'd just have to negotiate a new contract with us. Assuming you're gonna keep the Chara deal that the previous GM did, you can re-sign one more guy and keep him off the open market. Who are you gonna pick?
