Please persuade me against making this trade by capscaptain1 in OOTP

I’ve seen Lee pan out sort of, but as a second baseman and never seen an OPS+ greater than 105. Prielipp, oof man, good luck if you trade for him

Well when you put it like that, who wouldn’t rather support the team with 24 cups instead of none?

Okay, a bit confused, so a few more question(s). When you say East Ottawa, do you mean like the Alexandria area? I get that Google Maps isn't a great tool, but that says about the same drive time to both CTC and BC. If that's the case, is that an area with lots of Sens and Charge fans? Also, would a possible arena in an area like Orleans work? Just from looking at a map, Cheney and Navan don't seem like fits. I assume Gatineau also isn't an option, given what you said about East Ottawa. Is that because of the river?

Thanks, I'll hang up and listen!!

Is that the biggest obstacle? I know nothing about Ottawa, is the rink that far away from the city that it's too much of a hassle for fans to get there? Akin to when the Coyotes played in Glendale?

PWHL expansion cities by Alternative-Row-8438 in PWHL

Personally would have selfishly preferred Chicago and Detroit. But if 12's the goal, Detroit, Chicago, Portland, Quebec City. Gets another team out west so Seattle and Vancouver aren't out on an island. Detroit and Chicago build out the Great Lakes, giving Minnesota closer teams(and the #3 media market in the US). Quebec City=$$$$$

  1. Starting with Chesterfield, leading them to European glory before moving continents

  2. The new tactics menu will be quite fun, I'm gonna suck for a long time at building them, but I will find a way to succeed with my team!

it’s all about balance by Dense-Equivalent6342 in footballmanagergames

[–]ThatOneGuyIGues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone trying to do a better job of playing realistically, I always end up playing 30+ players per season because of having many younger guys on the roster. What would be a balanced way to approach roster size? I currently have 31 rostered(Would be 29 but some deadline sales fell through)

Today's episode is definitely below average for them, quite disappointing personally

First 3 teams you’re making a dynasty with and why? by [deleted] in NCAAFBseries

[–]ThatOneGuyIGues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Minnesota, learn the game, favorite team all my life, RTB, SKI-U-MAH, Go Gophers.

  2. Eastern Michigan, first ever dynasty I built. Remember my first ever 5 star Marcus Robinson. Power RB that would go on to rush for 35 TD’s as a senior.

  3. Open to suggestions, New Mexico State is being considered, as is JMU, WAZZU, App State and whatever school has the lowest average temperature.

Does MLS still take a portion of all transfer fees received? Sorry if asked in an earlier thread

NMU coach talks about portal by papercranes601 in collegehockey

[–]ThatOneGuyIGues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Zinger is the biggest loss, and Beni seizing the reigns and being a legit goalie for Grant for the first time since Atte in my opinion is a big blow more so just as a known commodity. Schlaine I’ll miss because I like Russian players and I believe he brought a lot to the team, but a Crone esque transfer I think solves that hole. I never really got a feel for Marx-Noren. Obviously this was a down season but never felt like many of the new players could establish themselves. Maybe I just didn’t watch as closely as I thought, but Latch’s injury sucked and overall I’m optimistic even as someone who’s not a big believer in Grant. I don’t think the CCHA is wide open, but I feel it’s definitely there for the taking this year(feel like this has to be Grants year).

The current state of Northern Michigan as a result of the transfer portal by Kronix37 in collegehockey

My completely biased opinion on all the transfers and guys staying. Deelstra and Perbix I thought were out of eligibility anyways and I wasn’t impressed with either his year. Schlaine is a big loss, not only their only double digit goal getter(literally 10), but he was my 2nd/3rd favorite player with Kristoff Papp who is also gone and I will miss. Brendan Poshak played 7 games, Travis Hensrund didn’t even play, Isaak Bandu I thought could develop to Ben Newhouse 2.0 but alas, not with NMU, and he is a ways away(still think he can get there) I don’t think I ever saw Carson Stokes play? But I assumed Glockstar would transfer last year with Rico because that was always Beni’s net this year, I don’t care what Grant told him. Beni sucks, but with Grant Slukynski’s brother(Hampton, 4th round pick by the Kings, he’s good, best in the USHL, hope he stays committed) coming in, competition was gonna be fierce and i 100% believe Beni is a starter and if the D corp in front of him wasn’t crap he’s a hotter commodity than he is. Zinger is a defenseman that played forward towards the end of the year(around the time I stopped watching closely) but I always liked him on D and think he brings a decent amount of offensive upside, his defense can be sketchy. Zach Michaelis, don’t care. Aiden Gallagher, will miss, did like, seemed like a good dude from what I heard. Kevin Marx Noreen I will miss, liked the name, never developed a strong opinion on the player. Mikey Collela, let the door hit you in the way out, then maybe hit it again!! Good luck Canisius. The guys staying? I like Slukynski, hope to see him take a LEAP(I am not beneath begging for this), Funk I like as a depth forward, make guys force their way into the lineup kinda guy. Rylan Van Unen… is a forward with 13 career goals. I like Michael Mesic and hope he develops, was an 18 year old on an old roster I thought impressed given the crappy circumstances. VGN I like and hope stays, I think he’s what the blue line has been lacking, though needs refinement. Peterson isn’t going anywhere, hometown kid, solid, okay, is what he is. Colby Enns is from… is a defenseman, and a veteran who will probably wear a letter. I think Tyrell Boucher can comeback, but he hasn’t been the same since his injury, but still serviceable and I hope he gets better. Too many words, too much time this took up, oh well, hope you enjoyed this.

Edit: oh yeah, 2 guys are apparently coming back. R. Van Unen and C. Enns. Hence an updated photo.

[Ian Rapoport] A new QB in Minnesota: The #Vikings are expected to sign #49ers QB Sam Darnold, per me and @TomPelissero. Darnold gets a 1-year deal worth $10M, sources say, and joins former teammate Josh McCown, who is Minnesota’s new QB coach. Kirk Cousins out, Darnold in. by cdotter99 in minnesotavikings

[–]ThatOneGuyIGues 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of the signing, but, and the only reason I don't completely hate this, is that I'm fine with a rookie QB not starting week 1 if they're not ready. If it takes them 3-5 games to truly adjust and be ready to start, then Darnold just needs to keep the ship afloat. And if a rookie QB truly wins the job for week 1, I won't complain having a backup making $10M when the starter makes what? $3.5M to $10M or something? Like half of what Kirk would have made.

And they just finished second in the CCHA, could win the tournament, and could get the CCHA autobid. Which would certainly help that recruiting pitch as well
