Thread: Kane scores 1000 points
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluejackets2000</b></div><div>Congrats on a great achievement...I can’t believe how old Kane is. He was just breaking into the league like, yesterday.</div></div>

True story.. only time I ever played a fantasy league in my life. my boss talked me into it ( he always a big time Winnipeg fan). It was the season right after Kane had legal troubles in his home town of Buffalo during the off-season (2015?). Well we signed up for the yahoo league, but it turned out to be a California time zone league. I fell asleep since the draft was advertised at 9 pm, but was really 9 pm CA time, and I am in East time zone, so I was automatically drafted by the computer with the “next best” rated player. Kane was my top pick, and I freaked out since I didn’t know whether he would even play with the potential charges/suspension pending. My boss was so mad, and he kept trying to get me to trade Kane to him. I held onto him and Kane (and rest of my computer team) carried me through the season and I won the league at the end.

Thread: BIG MOVE DET TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MaxDomi13</b></div><div>Never happen. Value's off. Larkin is DET's best player so what makes you think that they would want to move him? I think the deal starts with Wennberg
Even if DET were to accept, Larkin will not play 3rd line minutes.</div></div>

I don't disagree. Wennberg would probably be a good inclusion in the deal, but his salary was why I didn't, since rebuilding teams don't want too much salary (only enough to meet cap min.).
As for the lines, lately the Jackets have been rolling them very evenly, so Jenner's line has been getting about 15-17 min a night, dubois 15-17, Wennberg 13-15 and Nash 10-12.
He would slot in nicely anywhere, and with special teams Torts would definitely get him some good minutes.
I even toiled bumping up the pick to a 2nd. I don't think Jackets would give up a 1st after losing one to the Duchene signing last year, but they definitely upgrade in players to make the deal work, especially with the glut of solid NHL ready D man fighting for time.
