and heatley is staying at center. the olli jokinen rule coming into affect means we dont get another guy to switch to a strange position... the players switched last yr cant be switched or what was the point of the rule to begin with?

i used my jokinen rule to move langkow to left wing, when i was wondering at the time whether or not i had to use it again for this coming season i was told i would have to use it again on langkow... it makes more sense as it was a temporary stop gap, langkow needs to be switched to center just like heatley to the wing

i really dont think it would be retro-active. i had done task for league doing a conference and when the rosters were updated first time it switched alot of people. i had task of going through and making sure all players were switched back.. heatley was one of those guys. id find it dificult to believe he'd be auto moved to wing just my opinion..

BluesGM · Guru

that's heatley's natural position, why wouldn't he?

as for the other comment you've made about luke... what? all he said was you were winning the majority of trades you were in and said you were quite smart... where's the "blatant attack"? calm down man...

HOTLANTA · Guru

IMO he took a shot to pretty much say stop dealing with ATL. which isnt right IMO. im just asking it be looked at..

and to the point ive lost some deals this offseason aswell the one with Anahiem with tyutin forsure, the pisani deal with nasville.

Either way im done posting on these topics.. can we discuss actaull trades ??

like

the trade between NYR-Cal

To NYRangers: Brian Rolston
To Calgary: Ales Kotalik, Matt Beleskey, Round1 2008comp

with rolston being a tagged ufa it is of note becuase other teams in dispersal can move their tagged assets aswell..

as for the trade i really like it from calgay side Kotalik is a guy who gets PP time and a pick at end of round one is solid player in this 08 class.

Don't know what Kirk is bitching about, Luke was complimenting him...

And while Kirk has drastically improved is top end players he's lost some youth and some depth along the way... it was his schrewed trading in the PAST that got him to where he is now for the most part I think.

And I also think Heater should go back to wing, my understanding was that the Jokinen rule guys were moved just for the one season.

Getting off topic, Jokinen guys will be placed back at their prior position, the ones I can see off the top of my head are Heatley, Horcoff, and Langkow, though I'm sure there is a few more.

boooooooo. looks like doan-mueller-pahlsson will be the 3 centers for the thrashers

Rumpy · Senior Member

Not that it really matters but I agree with Steve and Bryce in that players should be moved back to there actual positions. There is no way in hell Heatley should be a Center or Federov a D-man just because they played there for 3 or 4 games in there careers.

I don't know what happend in the past but it sounds like the grey area was very wide open. A guy like Drury though or Sobotka I think the GM should have the option of choosing where to move him (before the BRHL Season Starts) since their NHL teams move them back and fourth frequently. Will position changes be totally out the window?

That said Kessel is listed as a C on the NHL page right now looking and he maybe played 2 games there last year so is there a site where they actually list games played at a postion?

BryceBruins · BRHL2 Co-Commish

tsn.ca is the best site. Guys that are shown playing mutliple positions can be changed throughout the year.

To be honest who cares what others think of your trades? You do what you think is best for your team......FHL is not NHL and unfortunatley most people gauge a trade by NHL value.

And your welcome to everyone else for trading Kirk "the Curse".

BluesGM · Guru

you should know right james...

i think bryce got a great deal to get getzlaf.... kane will rerate to 76OV, modano will provide detroit with strong veteran presence....

i see getzlaf will be a stronger player compared to kane throughout his career, but ian does get kane at 3 cheap years...

torres-cal 2nd 08 for SJ 1st-Sj 7th in 09

i really like this deal torres will fill perfect 3rd line spot with his IT and ST.
Also i look for him to have a bounce back year in CLB being on the top 2 lines and a PP unit..

forward lines look like
Kovalchuk 86- Heatley 83- Hemsky 78
Cole 79- Doan 82- Mueller 74
Schubert 73- Pahlsson 74- Torres 72

looking to fill in the 4th line Via ufa.. with 7 d-men starting tho only need two spots.

BluesGM · Guru

you're going to play heatley out of position?

i'm pretty happy with my deals, it allows me to move van ryn for another asset while providing some more future to cover for the ones i've moved...
