rangersandislesfan,

Over the last little while, I've reflected over my actions and behaviour towards you. I have been complaining a lot over your Trade tactics and style. It frusterated me to the point that I now see how much of a bully I was towards you.

I will continue to disagree regarding the nature of your trade tactics. I am proud, however, that you are being cautious with your trades and aren't making any rash moves. My opinion was that, if you aren't making moves, then semi-close your team. But honestly, considering I have an embargo on you, it's not of my concern. It's of your concern and only yours.

My harrasment towards you as a result as before unfair and uncivilized.

Throughout my entire life, I have been bullied. I'm talking about in real life here. Starting from kindergarten, and it continued and continued. I absolutely hated it. It drived me insane. Heck, in v1 i faced my share of being bullied, whether some choose to believe that or not. I guess to be on that "other side", made me feel good. But it shouldn't, and now I'm starting to feel those effects. Just like I hate it how I got bullied, you just hate how you get bullied. I want to make this clear: I'll stop.

I don't want you to get kicked out of the game. I don't want us to have crazy beef. I don't want you to remember me as some pompous bully.

I've been going through some personal stuff recently that hasn't had me feeling my best recently. And it wasn't right for me to take part of that out on you.

I don't care if certain people wish to call me someone who constantly apologizes and is the biggest cancer to the game. Unlike him, I wish to improve, and to first admit that I did wrong. That's what I'm doing as we speak. At least I am taking action knowing that I have issues that need fixing, and it's best if people support me on that journey, instead of putting me down further.

Therefore, I'm sorry. I really am. You don't have to believe me, id understand why. I'd also understand as to why you would hate me, I have given you that right with my actions. I can only hope we will move on from what's already happened.

Thank you,

First comment in weeks. Jus providing some light in all this.

Price on Craig Anderson from Calgary?

Probably only in a deal for a bigger piece but you can make another offer if you want.

what's the +?

unless Monahan, Backlund, Gaudreau, Brodie, or Hamilton are involved you probably aren't getting him.

Price on Condon?

I think I'll lift my embargo b/c it's worth a shot to see if you'd do deals this month. How about this?


Nate Thompson
2018 4th round pick (OTT)
2018 7th round pick (your choice)


Matt Cullen

Is this something you'd do this month?

i'd rather not move him so probably something like 2 2nds and a minor prospect, maybe just 2 2nds.



no, that's too much for a 40 year old turning 41 tomorrow.

i have no interest in Cullen anyway.

Filppula(retained) or Weise for Bowers+ interest you?

Weise is a 4th liner, Bowers was a 1st round pick.
And i have no need for a centre.
Overall i'm not interested ... i mean, i might do Weise for a late pick but not for Bowers+.

Brouwer available, what would you be willing to give up to get him?

what about Weise and something small for Bowers? I was looking to add some center depth in the pipeline and I know Bowers had a pretty low ceiling compared to other 1st rounders so was gauging your interest.

a pick and Borowiecki, but would you retain?

He was still a 1st round pick this year, and i don't want to move Bowers just to get a lower line RW, even if i were to get a 1st. I might do a late pick for Weise though.

Weise has been on the 3rd line but I understand. Figured I'd ask since you don't have a full NHL lineup with Brown on the roster. you could move Burrows down to 4th line and plug weise in the 3rd.

Would retain depending on the pick, what were you thinking? Obviously the bigger the retain, the better the Pick

i would feel safer putting him on the 4th, so i'd give you a 6th or a 7th.

50% and maybe a 4th?

Id be willing to retain 20% in exhange for Borowiecki and a 5th

What do you want for chabot

I'd do Matt Irwin for Claesson. Gives you a little more stability and reliability. I saw you threw out a price of two second round picks, but I highly doubt anybody would come close to that with few games of NHL experience, and hasn't put up the best numbers.

If this isn't it, what's the best offer you've gotten for him so far?

Any interest in Brendan Gaunce?
