No, but it's something that we're going to include in the game in the near future.

Anyone have a young righty similar to Mark Jankowski or Alex Iafallo? If so, hit me up.

Despite him posting good numbers and playing good hockey, nobody wants Mike Green. Accordingly, his price has dropped. If you're interested in a $3M right defenseman shoot me an offer.

I traded both JEE and Kunin, and now, surprise surprise–I need another C prospect. Who has one? Should be a righty, but that's not a requirement.

Moreover, I have my middle pairing of the future (and my #7 of the future), so who wants Kurtis MacDermid and/or Ryan Murphy?

I hope not. (But if the rest of my colleagues overrule me, it will be in effect.)

If the Trade Deadline is the same date as IRL and free agency is the same date as IRL, I think it should be a thing, but my opinion means nothing lol

I think we should have the break. Let everyone enjoy time off instead of worrying about this game.

Here's what i think: I think we should have a freeze but we still get to discuss trades (meaning we can't actually make any trades but we can still talk with other GMs). Just my opinion.

My input is that if GMs decide that they want to take some time off and enjoy their Happy Honda Days or Toyotathon, then they can do that.

I don't think that the league needs a central authority telling them what to do or not do. I would recommend that they take time off and enjoy being around loved ones and significant others instead of spending time on this site, but that is just because I view time as a scarcity and people undervalue it. I'll leave it with a quote from Isaac Brock, the lead singer from alternative-indie rock band Modest Mouse:

"The last time that you'll ever see another soul; No, you never get to know; No, you don't know." - Isaac Brock from Modest Mouse's song Ansel

Hey BOE, just letting you know that I will probably not be to active or even on capfriendly from December 21st to January 2nd, because due to the holidays I want to take some time off. I am all out of trades for December anyways.

I am telling you this so that you don't think that i left the game and terminate me.

Thanks, Missouri

I had mentioned this a while ago and if it is alright with you guys. I plan to stick to it as I am all out of trades for December anyways and already have 3 trades set up for January.

Jonathan Bernier is available for cheap. If you're in need of a backup goaltender then stop by NYI with an offer. Also moving some bottom 6 defenseman for bottom 6 forwards or prospects and picks.
