Never gets boring to hang out with the same group of people, in not just one league?

Not gonna ask for a trade if they think it might be ok for them if they give it another shot. Sure, but don´t you think it´s bit of a dick move to take the good old free agency card out? 01-11-2019, 06:35 PM.bojo Wrote:01-11-2019, 06:32 PMjRuutu Wrote: So you talk to he GM: Yo dawg, I´m not feeling it, I might leave after the season is over. What if there word is already out that the player is good as gone after the season - value can´t be too good? Why not do your team a solid and try to get out with as high price as possible?

And how often do players wait until the trade deadline to come and talk to you about getting traded?

Yea, that is what I have hard time to understand with the FA people, why not try to go out when the GM contacts you well before the FA is in the horizon? (Of course if most GMs do the same thing and talk with their players)

I guess we just see this in two different ways. The three RFA seasons give you a chance to see how well you fit in with your team, and for your GM to see how you fit in to potential long term plans. I know a lot of people who ended up staying with their SHL teams despite not initially being happy getting drafted there. LW - Rainbow Dash - Updates

Bit risky to draft certain users with tight connections to certain teams? Which only makes it more likely for those users ending up to the same places as their last players were - they could like the place I´m sure, but we all know what is the most likely thing to happen when you go after a player like that. ´Well that is the GM´s problem then if they don´t even give them a chance´ Yea, sure. Might as well pass, in 4 seasons end result is the same. |
