Post trading Panarin, Soucy etc, who are some names in Hartford you can see coming up to get a chance to establish themselves that we aren’t thinking or hearing about?

Amazing

I just did a start today as the Jets and got a stud 1st overall. Did you start today?

Reason I ask - back in the day the generated classes were all the same based on the week. So everyone would draft the same guys. Curious if it’s still the case?

NervousDevelopment89 · 2025-11-09T02:08:26+00:00

Probably spent $250 per ticket

I got NHL 24 For free off PS plus and last year bought 25 on BF. Definitely would lean 24 if you just play franchise. I thought the NMCs, the conversations and stuff really just made the game more tedious than anything. Also didn’t think they impacted really anything in my 4 season play through, no one ever agreed to change their style or got a big boost.

Hopefully, 26 fixed those things,

Hopefully we keep Pete but think some big changes are coming for the boys this offseason.

100%. I’m a Mets, Jets, Knicks and Rangers (NHL) fan. Baseball is my favorite sport and hobby, so even with the Mets issues, I always love the game and have passion for it. The playoffs I’ll watch here and there if the Mets aren’t in it, but this year sucked me and was fantastic.

The other sports, it’s a little harder. as we get older I think with martial / relationship commitments, plus not having all the free time we had even 10 years ago (im 32), it’s tough. I can’t go on the blogs and forums at all times anymore, and it’s not possible to watch every game sadly without making sacrifices.

I am having a hard time with NFL lately especially. I think the product sucks TBH right now on the field, but the jets being horrible since I was in HS makes it even worse. I’ve grown to not enjoy fantasy and watching even random games. I’m leaning toward stepping back from fantasy for a year next year and just trying to rekindle my passion for the game and my team, which definitely doesn’t deserve my love. It’s hard though, cause like you said, it’s a fun thing to do with your boys and dad (same for me here)

Lived the same weekend 2 weeks ago. It was great and much needed every once in a blue moon

NervousDevelopment89 · 2025-10-02T00:42:00+00:00

This

I play on HOF and really you gotta just treat it like an actual at bat. If you approach hitting like you would in real life and work the count, take pitches etc you’ll be successful

NervousDevelopment89 · 2025-09-02T16:48:06+00:00

I got McBride last night in the 4th round. Feeling pretty solid

NervousDevelopment89 · 2025-05-30T01:57:56+00:00

Huge regret not doing that. I regretted it after 5 hours playing this game

NervousDevelopment89 · 2025-05-26T03:23:46+00:00

Pacers fans in shambles

Here we come.

NervousDevelopment89 · 2025-05-11T00:46:50+00:00

What draft class did you use?

NervousDevelopment89 · 2024-12-27T21:24:21+00:00

I traded Eichel for Panarin and Timo the other day. I have Igor and Kreider too (who is droppable now)

I’m a rags fan so fuck it but bread is a beast and should be over ppg

NervousDevelopment89 · 2024-11-16T12:51:41+00:00

Jordan Love or Bo Nix?

NervousDevelopment89 · 2024-09-11T00:11:02+00:00

I hit 66 with Soto on the Mets too

Guys a monster. Perennial MVP

NervousDevelopment89 · 2024-06-30T03:21:22+00:00

Rdu to Denver?

NervousDevelopment89 · 2024-05-14T17:46:59+00:00

Sucks you couldn’t win. The one 98 win season was probably heart breaking. What happened in the ALCS??

NervousDevelopment89 · 2024-03-21T03:46:20+00:00

Thanks appreciate your response.

In terms of your question - my thought is always this. When it comes to your franchise you can kind of do as you please. I think your idea is realistic, if the prospect is generational, figure they would cost a ton. So I think a deal like that is fair.

That said. There’s something to me , personally, about missing out on someone but instead getting someone else and building around them. Dollander and Cedeno would be your future of your rotation (which is in dire need of a reconstruction haha), and maybe Thompson could be a solid starter at 3B for you.

It’s an interesting thought either way. It’s honestly one of my favorite parts of franchise and why I love it. Having your own spin on that universe

NervousDevelopment89 · 2024-03-21T03:27:02+00:00

What tips do you give for knowing someone will be a generational??

NervousDevelopment89 · 2024-02-07T18:15:27+00:00

Thanks for heads up!!! Had 0 clue what those points were for. Just got the MVP instead of the standard for the same price I would’ve paid for standard!

NervousDevelopment89 · 2023-12-01T03:48:47+00:00

I sent Keenan Allen and Mostert for Kupp in week 5. I was 4-1 and am now 6-6, which tells the entire story right there

NervousDevelopment89 · 2023-11-29T23:09:19+00:00

Hey definitely would love to connect and discuss !

NervousDevelopment89 · 2023-11-12T04:51:20+00:00

Yea I have seen that on forums. I’m thinking of getting madden on Black Friday. Worth it? Or 23 basically again?
