If we could predict what happens in the sim basd on rosters your point would make sense, thing is with STHS anything can happen....
Right but probability is still a thing

Right but buying in a sellers market was dumb when the assets you recieved dont do nearly enough to make you competitive
Again this is just my opinion and i'm not trying to offend anyone. I can tell you personally that taling second guesses as personal attacks against your ability to GM is a very fruitless endeavor. If your trade was a good one we'll see it in the coming results

For the record, i know what you're saying, but its fun to yell things.

If I've lead you to believe I'm offended by your opinions than you're incorrect and I apologize for misleading you. I'm happy with the trade, I'm happy it sparked a conversation, and I'm happy to hear all the differing opinions. Happy new year to you man

I got dumped to a lower line for a guy who won't event be in Montreal next season. I'd rather you guys just cut me. Work my ass off all season trying to get better and taking your advice only to be demoted. If we don't win the Cup, this trade is an epic fail.

Every single player in the SHL has had to pay their dues. When I was drafted to the SMJHL I played a total of 15 games in my first season. I had 15 starts and ONE playoff start in which I got blown out. Oh I didn't mention that the guy that started 35 games was INACTIVE.
All you have to do is keep at it and you'll be a top player on the team. Shit isn't handed.

The "guy who won't even be in Montreal next season" has also worked his ass off for three seasons trying to earn a spot on Calgary's roster, one of the most stacked SHL teams. He's been putting in that work in St. Louis, which (no disrespect to my Crows friends) has been the worst team in the East the past two seasons and will not make the playoffs this season. Now he gets a chance to play for a Cup. He has also busted his ass outside of the STL locker room, taking on tasks such as a banking job and a leadership role with the United States IIHF squad.
Everyone has a story. Be mindful how you write yours.

Imagine that you are recently drafted in the CHL draft and your CHL team trades for a send-down who was a NHL top 10 draft pick 1 year before selected by a team which has a reputation to keep their draft picks in the minors for a long time like the Red Wings. Even though your player is promising the newly acquired player just is further ahead in his development.
