Dream Team Under the Cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>You need better dreams, friend. So much waste here.</div></div>
Sure, I could stack the first couple of lines and pairings, etc. with bigger names (McDavid, Pastrnak, Vasilevsky, etc.,) and then just place plugs in the rest of it, but the idea was to spread out the talent as evenly as possible without going over.

That would also work, and you're right. There's not an Armchair GM anywhere on Cap Friendly, on any team, who will take Barrie even if he was being given away for "future considerations". In reality, there's probably a half dozen teams who would love to have him. I chose Buffalo because they have a ton of cap space and little to no real firepower to speak of.

Dear CapFriendly Community - Please Read
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarner_16</b></div><div>I feel like someone needs to say something.
In the comment sections, people are being bashed, belittled, and made out to be idiots.
Why? Because that unique person came up with a new idea. Maybe they don’t know that much about the team, but they made an ACGM about a new idea. Then because of that idea, they are made to be idiots in front of the whole CapFriendly community. While sometimes the posts are preposterous, you don’t need to belittle a person for trying a new idea.
Instead, just kindly tell them what’s wrong with it, and if you’re a fan of that team, tell them a “counteroffer” of some sort. From experience, when someone does that, it’s a lot more constructive and helps me personally learn about player values/ other teams needs. It’s a lot better than responses like: “lol” “what a piece of Garbage” “you know nothing” etc.
That’s my piece.
Thank you for reading.</div></div>
Hear, hear. Couldn't agree more. If Sam Pollock or Bill Torrey were still alive, and used an alias on here to play AGM, their team would still get bashed no matter what move they tried to pull off here.

I hear ya. I've been here about 18 months and one of the first things I've learned is that old saying, " You can never please all of the people all of the time." It doesn't matter what you try and do with your roster, someone out there is not going to like it, especially if the trade involves their supposedly favorite team. If your post doesn't involve a trade then you will still get someone telling you, you didn't sign so and so to enough money or too much money, or the player is too old, or whatever. Trolls are going to be trolls and have way too much time on their hands.

Idea - The ability to do multiple years of ACGM in one post
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McDavidFan97</b></div><div>Would anyone else like this feature? I figure this would be very difficult to add but I'll share the idea anyway
When I want to make an ACGM for the next 2 seasons (a 2021-22 part, and a 2022-23 part), it takes a lot of additional effort. For example, as an Oilers fan, I sign RNH to a 6 year deal on the 2021-22 post, and then have to sign him to the same deal at 5 seasons on the 2022-23 post. So on the 2022-23 post, I have to resign all the guys I signed in the 2021-22 post a 2nd time with one less year on their deal, and sign all of the guys I want to keep who expired in 2022-23. Some people like to layout a hypothetical plan for multiple seasons, and a feature that lets you do that easier would be helpful
This is how I see this feature working. Say I wanted to do an ACGM for this season, until the 2022-23 season. Maybe I do a few deadline moves during the 2020-21 season. When I'm done with the current season, I can click a button that says "Next Season" or something like that. Everyone's contracts would lose 1 year as we move to the next season. I would resign, trade, create that season's lines, and once again click the "Next Season" button, and the cycle can repeat. You could go back and forth between seasons to change parts of the plan, each season having it's own page. For people viewing the post, there could be a section for each season, with trades, lines, cap breakdown, etc.. from each individual year, to clearly show what happened in each season (trades, signings, etc..) The comment section would be under the single post containing multiple seasons so people can discuss the multi-year plan in once place</div></div>
I sort of had the same idea. Each season would start off with the roster you left off with in the previous season instead of starting all over again. That would be awesome.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingLundqvist30</b></div><div>I hate to ask a question that has probably been asked a million times, but is there a community Discord for CapFriendly?
If the answer is no, then I think this is something that should be implemented. Not only would this be a great place to grow the game, but it would also give others a chance to meet for the first time. Let’s be honest, there’s times where we’re at each other’s throats, but overall I look at this site as an extended family. I genuinely enjoy the discussions had on here, and I could see a lot of positives coming from having a community Discord.
Just food for thought, thanks!</div></div>
I've only been here myself for about a year and a half and just came across your thread. I'll just say this, the old saying, "You will never please all of the people all of the time" certainly holds true here. I'd like to know if there's a single AGM here who has consistently received unanimous approval on their team construction, particularly trades, from the other participants on CapFriendly. There is always going to be someone who doesn't like what you've done or tried to do, or understand your reasonings and most of the time the most harsh criticisms are from the hardcore fans who seem to have no other life but hockey, eat and breathe it 24/7/365. and probably hate some of the moves genuine GM's make. The best approach is to take critiques with a grain of salt, listen to them, but use your own judgment. If the critique is reasonable maybe make a few more realistic adjustments to your roster or revert the trades if you can. If it's just a matter of AGM's trolling, and yes, there are a few, let it roll off your back and carry on.

General Roster Question
I've only been at this a few months and am proud of how I've built my team over the 20-21 season in Armchair GM. But now as I look ahead I'm just wondering if there's some way I can retain my current roster and carry it into the 21-22 season for future management instead of starting all over again from scratch? Might be a dumb question but I would hate to lose what I've already done.

Change The Lineup
I like what you did there on the top 6. Very interesting. IMO, other than the additions of Turris and Ennis, it's the bottom six that need vast improvements. Kassian seems to be a shadow of his former self and clearly overpaid while Chiasson's contribution appears to be in decline as well. Khaira is practically useless. Any of these guys could be used as trade bait to bring in a decent long term backup goalie for Koskinen.

My first team plz dont judge me too hard
My only critique is that you need to stay within the salary cap to come across as credible and more realistic. I would advise to not only focus on your own team but also continuously research the other 31 teams on the many internet hockey sites and hockey rumor sites and determine what their needs are and what assets you might have on hand that would benefit both them and you in a trade. Not bad for your first attempt, far better than mine was. I've only been here since early October myself and was torn to shreds over approximately my first 4 tries. Some attacks can be quite disheartening and abusive and take the fun out of it, had to put a couple of GM's on the ignore list and report another 3 or 4 for breaking Forum rules. But by my fifth or 6th try things settled down and I'm enjoying it again. Welcome to CapFriendly.

Edmonton Extreme
You had pretty much the same idea I did. I traded Nurse for Ehlers as well. In your case though, you left gaping holes on your LD. As already pointed out, Klefbom is out for the season and with Nurse gone, it doesn't leave you with much on that side. You could A: trade for a first pairing defenceman which isn't likely or B: bring your young guys up from Bakersfield and let them have a go or C: create some cap room and plug those holes through Free Agency, which is what I did. One other thing, I wouldn't throw Puljujarvi to the wolves right away on the top line but ease him along gradually by starting him on the 3rd and see how he does.

If we would trade Nurse, Where does he go and what could be return?
The Winnipeg Jets sorely need to shore up their D while McDavid still needs a top quality winger. I would make a pitch for Nikolaj Ehlers in return for Nurse. Nurse would make an immediate impact on the Jets D while Ehlers can play either wing and be the perfect missing piece on McDavid's right side. And their salaries are very close to each other. Just my two cents.
