<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zach</b></div><div>How do you have Johan Larsson scratched? He's been 1 of our top 5 players for the past couple of weeks.

Guy is super talented.</div></div>

83.4% DZ starts with a 50.1 Corsi, that means he starts his ice time in the Defensive Zone yet manages to get more shots on goal than he allows. That is insane. To put this in perspective Eichel has 63.2 OZ starts with a 50.3 Corsi. Larsson takes the tough face offs and gets the puck out of the defensive zone. He with Girgensons have lifted the PK to 7th in the league. I agree, he plays a critical role on the team. He provides different talent at a decent cap hit.

As you pointed out his performance the last five games is crazy, he won nearly 67% of his face offs in that period. Historically he heats up in the second half of the season.

Thread: 2018-19 GM Game - Tampa Bay Lightning

To whoever may read this,

Happy Holidays. I'd like to give thanks to (mostly) everyone that's been in the GM Game , helping it make it the community it is today. When I first joned this site back in March of 2017, I never envisioned myself pouring hours daily into this site and this game created by <a href="/users/rangersandislesfan" target="_blank">@rangersandislesfan</a>. I thought this would be a site I would check a few times a week, and eventually lose interest in. Boy, was I wrong. Although, I've trolled you back in the V1 days and have said **** towards you whether you have known or not, I never gave you credit for coming up with the concept of an idea that has greatly evolved. After all, your original vision for the game was to create a place where fans of all teams would come together and interact creating a welcoming community. It has. A simple thought that has gone a long way, I give you props for that and I'm sorry for anything I have done wrong to you. It's one of two major regrets (minus certain trades of course) I have from this game.

The second regret I have is turning my back on <a href="/users/MrBooth" target="_blank">@MrBooth</a> during the early months of V2 which ended with him being banned from CF and us blocking each other for around half a year. I was a terrible friend for turning my back on you after you and I went through so much over the summer, especially while we were on BOG in V1 with all the hate coming our way. You were willing to stand up for us, even when you were the main target of abuse. Even though, you were being a bit of an ass before you left the game, I shouldn't have been so quick to turn on you without giving you a chance, and for that I'm sorry.

Lastly, unlike others, I've been fortunate and lucky enough to be surrounded with a lot of family and haven't suffered much at all. I've done somethings I regret that I regret, for my own gain rather than benefit for my party. I've taken everything for granted and I've been a lazy, spoiled brat. After reading <a href="/users/flamesfan419" target="_blank">@flamesfan419</a> letter, it's helped me put things into perspective more. If anyone needs to talk about anything really, DM me. I'll try my best to help out.

Thank you,
BoltsPoint21
Justin

Thread: Next season - completely realistic

Five stars. Great job.
I do not think Pekar will be ready (but he really does look good), I hope Nylander and Olofsson are ready. Pilut is looking like the steal of the year.
I love the idea of signing Hayes. I also love the idea of not selling any of the future for making the playoffs this year, patience is the key to success, just ask the turtle and hare.
You will save by just putting Hunwick in the AHL and his cap will be done in one year.
Not so much for Sobotka, but by sending him to the minors his cap would be done at the end of the year. In addition, he may actually have trade value, after all Betterall got a conditional 7th for Fedun and Sobotka has much more talent than Taylor, especially if salary is with held. Let's presume he could return a 4th or even a 3rd if salary is with held.
I think Scandella has more value than other contributors have given him, so I think that trade is very reasonable.
Mittelstadt and Thompson are looking better every month. The top 6 looks absolutely awesome.
Finally, I agree with you signing Larsson. Housley has faith in his ability because 80% of his starts are in the defensive zone.
All of this is constructive comments.

You and i know how big of a hockey market is, but to an outsider. It may not seem appealing.

Thread: 2018-19 GM Game - General Discussion

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrBooth</b></div><div>I’d like to announce that I will be resigning from my position as GM of the Detroit Red Wings effective immediately.

A lot of thinking went into this, but I’ve decided that it’s for the better of my own sake if I leave the game. For the most part, v3 has been a fun ride. I’ve enjoyed the challenge of taking on a team like Detroit and making it somewhat formidable (at least, in my opinion).

As for the reason as to why I’m leaving, I’ll be frank. This game started off as a lot of fun and I definitely had fun trying to make Detroit a contender, but as of late that sense of enjoyment has almost disappeared. I no longer feel a part of the game, nor do I think that I’m necessarily wanted in this game. Whenever a new GM arrives, I’m the only one framed for being out there to fleece them. Whenever I’m mentioned, it’s nothing that’s positive of any sorts. I understand that I’m not perfect and have never been considering my history - however at the end of the day, no one is. Every single GM inquires on assets from new teams because they want to know if there’s a change in direction with the previous management group. Does that make me the one to warn others about? Most GMs have ludicrous offers especially to start off negotiations. I’ve done that a couple times as well. That doesn’t mean that I’m trying to fleece the league. The theory that I sweetheart talk every GM is nothing but the fabrication of the truth. I will also say this: at least I have a clue as to what I’m doing with my team; at least I don’t be the game’s recognized troll; at least I have the piece of integrity to not back out on deals multiple times; at least I don’t create other accounts to send harassing messages to other users, and at least I try, for the most part, to not be a pain to deal with in negotiations. Like it or not, those are some of the things that have been frustrating to me, and has led to my wanting out of the game - as simple as that.

Saying all that negative mumbo jumbo, thanks to <a href="/users/Zach" target="_blank">@Zach</a> for keeping my sanity in tact during certain times. Of all the people in this game, I’ve truly enjoyed getting to know you and I’m glad we interacted here. You never got to finish swapping rosters with Winnipeg, but you were a quality GM and still are a great friend.

<a href="/users/Turner33" target="_blank">@Turner33</a>, supplier of dad jokes and complimentary humour at all times; and <a href="/users/matt59" target="_blank">@matt59</a> my favourite Asian golfer; thank you guys for being around and defending this idiot at certain times in the past. Turner, you’ve definitely provided light in the tunnel when needed, and Matt is probably the nicest and most composed guy you’ll meet on the forums.

I’d like to thank <a href="/users/rangersandislesfan" target="_blank">@rangersandislesfan</a> for creating this mess. I’ve insulted you a lot through the first two versions of the game and it’s something I regret, but we’ve both changed since then and I’m glad you wasted so much time in my life [insert sarcastic eye roll here]

Shoutout to <a href="/users/TabooPenguo" target="_blank">@TabooPenguo</a> for bringing me back in v2 as his AGM; once again, the challenge of the Islanders was a fun one and I enjoyed working with you.

Big props to my other AGMs, <a href="/users/HotsamBatcho" target="_blank">@HotsamBatcho</a> and <a href="/users/wojme" target="_blank">@wojme</a>. You guys rock and I’ve really enjoyed working with you.

<a href="/users/Bo53Horvat" target="_blank">@Bo53Horvat</a>, <a href="/users/TonyStrecher" target="_blank">@TonyStrecher</a>, <a href="/users/Daryl" target="_blank">@Daryl</a>, <a href="/users/jmac490" target="_blank">@jmac490</a>, <a href="/users/NateElder12" target="_blank">@NateElder12</a>, <a href="/users/A_K" target="_blank">@A_K</a>, <a href="/users/BoltsPoint21" target="_blank">@BoltsPoint21</a>, <a href="/users/krakowitz" target="_blank">@krakowitz</a>, <a href="/users/phillyjabroni" target="_blank">@phillyjabroni</a>, @GronkNation and <a href="/users/alwaysnextyear" target="_blank">@alwaysnextyear</a>, you guys have also made the game fun for the most part. There may have been some times where animosity was definitely existent, but thank you guys for contributing to making this game into what it is. I don’t think it’ll be possible to forget about how much time I wasted with all of you!

If I didn’t mention you, it’s either because

1. I couldn’t tag the entire league as much as I would’ve liked to
2. I didn’t get to know/interact with you as much
3. You’re part of the reason I wish to have nothing to do with the game anymore

I’d also like to thank (or not) the mods for not IP banning me when they should’ve, and for continuing to make CapFriendly a great hockey resource.

I’ve decided that my own real life is more important than a game of which means absolutely nothing to anyone else. It’s not worth wasting my time on and I don’t want to have anything to do with it anymore.

I would be glad to help whoever the new GM is during their transition period and answer any question they may have.

I’ll still be around on Twitter (and maybe once in a while on that Discord voice chat, if it’s still a thing) and keeping in touch with some of you, but consider this my final goodbye from the GM Game.

Last word: just because I’m leaving doesn’t mean the bet is off. I fully expect Dylan to wire me 50 dollars at the end of the season when Virtanen finishes the season outscoring Puljujarvi.

Farewell,
Booth</div></div>

I wasn't tagged, but we just finished talking on Twitter. Thanks for everything Booth, and I hope we continue to stay in touch.
