Thread: Team USA influence
kubalik is a really nice piece but a left shot 30 - 50 point winger may not be the solution in calgary, i think a lot of people are hoping mangiapane will be that this year and with pelletier, zary, dube, tkachuk, emilio petterson, ruzicka all on the left side they have enough there to fill the bottom 6.

nylander would be an interesting piece if he could fit into the middle six, but with sutter behind the bench calgary is looking to compete and i dont think they would take a chance on a guy like that this year.

all in without expansion and stuff like that i think the hawks are over paying for one year of gaudreau, he will hit the open market if hes not in calgary or philly.

this flames fan guy is just on repeat with this, could be mcdavid for michael stone and all you would see is "flames very easily decline"

Thread: Return to the Roar
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyVC97</b></div><div>It's a valid point to wait it out one more year then attempt to sign one of those UFAs, however, I feel like the Jones has the most upside out of all those names and if we don't trade for him now someone else will and I think that the only reason a deal has not been struck yet is that it will come post-expansion draft and the team that trades for him will want an extension in place prior to committing to terms.

As for Stamkos its a questionable deal however a player with his talent and upside if healthy he can fill that "Sharp" type role for us once again and can be dynamic with Toews.</div></div>

I agree with you that Jones is indeed a really good Dman. I just wouldn't be sending away major assets when there are a lot of other options that IMO are pretty close. I would trade D Strome, Zadorov, and Kurashev. Give CBJ some guys that are cost controlled. I personally believe that's a big factor. Seth Jones single biggest reason for leaving (from what I've read) is that UFAs don't want to go to Columbus. They can't attract quality players. Getting cost controlled guys is a big. I honestly don't think a 4th 1st rounder is on CBJ's must have list. This draft wasn't ever supposed to be the highest quality draft. Now insert the COVID factor of guys not playing regularly...CBJ could easily miss on all 4 guys.

Thread: Back to the Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyVC97</b></div><div>Oilers would need to send back a cap dump to land Jones and send Duncs that way. Jones is a huge reason to why Seth would resign with Chicago and his brother. Plus a buy-out of Kassian's contract would not be out of the question. But the thumper line would greatly benefit with him.</div></div>

I'd rather have Mikko. Sure it's $4.5M, BUT it's during the year in which Shaw is LTIR. Stan wouldn't even buy him out. Just send him down to the minors. IN FACT...once the season starts and Mikko is already down in the minors...it might actually be a cap benefit for a team like TOR to acquire BOTH Shaw and Mikko because A.) Shaw's LTIR accrues and B.) Mikko will already be down in the AHL...so they can have him down there and waiting just in case if he needs to be called up.

Thread: Toews Could Retire
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyVC97</b></div><div>Ok I understand why this "team" was moved to "thread" because I did not make any trades. But my previous team did have trades and it was completely deleted not even moved to "thread/message" board. I just want to make sure I don't break any unwritten rules because I don't see where I have broken any of the written rules.

What is allowed? What is NOT allowed when posting a fantasy AGM team?

I will not claim any conspiracy I just want to make sure I am not breaking rules going forward.</div></div>

The reason why I've left the fourth iteration of your Toews-will-retire AGMs up is because you explicitly refer to the Kane trade and make the AGM about the Kane trade.

I didn't remove the other three, and only saw the first, but I did recognize that you traded everything but the kitchen sink in that AGM. We see so many troll AGMs where someone just demolishes the team without context or fair values, and those teams devolve quickly into flame wars and troll replies. I think it's possible that your original was either deleted because it came off as one of these less-serious AGM teams or was moved, and the moderator in question saw the second and third attempts as you not understanding what took place and deleted them.

In general, speculation is fine unless it's like way out of left field and could lead to a very decisive conversation. Threads get deleted and warnings tend to be applied because those threads breed the kind of deconstructive discourse that we don't permit at CapFriendly.

Hope this helps!

Thread: Toews Could Retire
While I wasn't the moderator that moved the team, I can clearly see that the original AGM was moved to the forums simply because the Blackhawks discussion forums are a more appropriate place to speculate whether or not Toews is or is not retiring.

If you'll kindly refer to the three lines of text that appear when you go to submit an armchair GM, it checks that the team name is relevant to the title, that it is not being published for unrelated general discussion that is more suitable in a different forum section, and that the AGM abides by the rules. The AGM(s) immediately associated with Toews retiring exists solely to speculate around that retirement, never mind the trades. If the moderators have made the call to move a thread to a more appropriate location, you haven't broken any rules. If you continue to post the exact same goddamn thread over and over in the AGM section after we've moved it for you, expect to be infracted.

This isn't some galaxy-brain level conspiracy. The next person that makes this about censorship or "shouldn't all posts be removed because speculation" is getting a one month ban. You're all being ridiculous.
