OK. Here's a game that people can play if they want where people can pretend to be the GM of a team, and we can make trades and stuff as if it's the offseason (no vegas expansion trades until we get closer to the expansion draft, though you may talk about those trades). You may ask for a team, and i will give you that team if it isn't already taken. My favourite teams are the Rangers and Islanders tied, so i'll be the Islanders. Each person may only be the GM of one team.
Here is the list of GMs (i will update it when someone claims a team):
Anaheim Ducks - TrueNorth https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/345664
Arizona Coyotes - Rodzikhockey93 https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/318832

Ok, you can be the senators.


On your first post, can you bold either the teams that have been chosen, or haven't, and put their team link right beside there name, will be much easier to follow smile

I can't yet I'm banned from the section until mid April. If someone else picks my team and you want to rope them into this that's fine, I like the Bruins the most, but I'd be competent playing GM as any team. So I guess I'm Saying I really can't do what you want until like April 14th or so, so if the game is full by then you can just go on without me and if someone who can do what you want picks the Bruins I really don't mind losing them. I just think you came up with a fun idea.... and yeah it's really fun, I've done it with Football before and it really works well. I forget what we used, but we went to a server that let us chat on it, I think it was called Chatsi or Chatzi or something where we could log in and then just talk about deals and stuff without posting on the forum. Then when we had a deal we both posted our consent on a page like this and posted our new depth chart. This is really fun and I would like to be apart of it, but if I can't because I'm temp banned

Basically what my above statement I made is saying, is that you can take me out of the game until I can be able to comply with what you want. IF someone picks my team it doesn't matter to me, i'll play as anyone. If the game fills without me thats fine too, i'll just watch with a bucket of popcorn. I'd probably even take the role of league Commissioner. I think I've got a good rep in terms of posts per day, so I'm pretty active and could be the commish posting that deals had been verified because both teams GM's had posted that they did the deal. I'd take as big or small a role as I was given and wouldn't complain. If I just have to watch that's fine with me too. I'll try to look for the site we used to chat on. so everyone doesn't just have to mass posts here.

Wait, are you saying you can't make an armchair-gm team? No problem. Until you can, if you make trades, you can post them on here on a list, and then once you can make an armchair-gm team, you can post the trades and signings there.

You can play as the bruins if you want. You don't need to have a link to the team. I will post links to all the armchair-gm teams that we have here, but if you don't have one that's fine. You can still play.

I've started a Chat room for when this gets popular. Can you have people post their Email's they used to sign up for this site? That way I can Invite them to the room.

I also do not believe anybody should post any private information such as emails.

Guys, the mods here think this game is a great idea, and are looking at the options of implementing a sub-forum specifically for it, where we can place the AGM teams that are part of it, this main thread can be stickied, and the rest of the posts can be used for discussion etc. That should be suitable for chat purposes as well

Wait, are you saying we could make another thread for trade talk in this game? I think that could make sense.

Are you sure? Okay it's your call. I'll scrap the chatzy idea then because I can't invite anyone to it without sending them a link, I guess we'll just have to talk about stuff in here, but it's gonna get crazy when you have 31 GM's trying to communicate at the same time on this forum lol.

Footballs Future was doing this game atleast 10 years ago for football and I was part of a few. It's tons of fun if everyone is active and the biggest thing is that you hold a Mock Draft of the draft eligible players a couple weeks before the actual draft, After you find out who wins the lottery. Free Agency happens before the draft and you get to see what your finalized team is from the game before the actual Free Agency or the Draft happens. Then you get to watch the real events and compare what you did vs what your teams actual GM did. It's commonplace to have done better / different than the actual GM.

Well, you're the commissioner aren't you? wink

Simple: have both parties post they have agreed to a trade, and on both armchair-gm teams, have the users submit the trades, that way people can follow the moves
