When's the trade deadline in HHL? I may have to make some serious deals if they're at all possible.

March 3 (Thursday)

I put Ovechkin, Kessel, Krejci, Crawford, and Luongo on my trade block, but I'm actually open to trade just about anyone. I think Gaudreau is my only untouchable because I picked him off waivers last year and so his keeper cost is, like, $3.

Haha, figured he'd be a good keeper option once his call up was announced. Luckily, my office is super lax when it comes to me loving around.

I am nervous about Barkov, though, I really liked him as a keeper.

But there are no keepers were I'm heading. :cool:

It's a first round exit. I am headed to a first round exit.

Keeping Nylander this year will depend on how well he finishes the season. I have been lugging around Bennett and Reinhart all season (well, I dropped Bennett for a month), and I really have no idea who I'd keep between those two. If Nylander can somehow make more of an impression, then I may lean towards him.

Barkov is my man, though. He's the guy I really wanted. I tried to draft him this year before bidding got too high for me.

As of right now, my keeper options (ranked by my desire to keep them): Barkov, Lehner, Allen (Lehner is $2 compared to Allen's $26), Barrie, Reinhart, Bennet, Nylander. I didn't include Simmonds because I think this is my last year I can keep him.

I think I'm probably going to sit on Forsberg/Panarin, the upgrade to a true star is so minimal that they're really not worth moving.

Tyler Johnson is available though if anyone values him as a keeper.

I've still got Seguin and Crosby both available if somebody blows me away with an offer. I'm not sure there's a deal to be done though since trading them would definitely ruin any small chance I've got at the playoffs.

I traded Hall and Toews for Barkov and Nylander. I was too slow in nabbing Nylander yesterday morning (stupid work!), but I figure I'd take a chance on him for two guys that I wasn't going to keep at the end of the year. Also, I am super high on Barkov.

Sorry to the dude who I offered Kane for Eichel. I didn't realize how expensive Eichel was when I first offered the deal, and I don't even know if I'd keep him next year for that price.

It's all good. I assumed you didn't notice how much I paid for him when you first offered that deal lol.

Honestly the only player I have that might be appealing to a tanking team and that I'm open to moving is Ehlers. I picked him up off waivers at the start so he's just a 1$. Might be a good keeper for a tank team. If any such team is interested in trading me a good scorer for him, I am open to offers.

I made a post complaining about this trade, then remembered the keeper rules at the end of the post, then now that I look at the thread it was actually the keeper thing I thought it was. Haha.

We need to make a capgeek site for HHL so we know who picked up when in what season and then we can see who might be available for playoff runs... heh.

Yeah, at first glance it's kind of ridiculous, but there's no chance I'm keeping Toews or Hall at 91 and 71, so I'm just going full Sather.

Keeping track of all of this is kind of a pain in the rear end, and basically involves me switching between looking up historical drafts in the league and trying to find previous years' fantasy hockey threads.

e: If anyone else is looking forward to next season already, I've still got something of a future I'm looking to stamp out.

My HHL team is eerily like my HHL team last year: high in the standings but I don't feel it deserves to be there.

So maybe, maybe, I would sell. Lundqvist, Patches, Sharp, Hornqvist available, I guess.

Alright, I need HHL trade advice. I'm leaning towards accepting but I'd like a second opinion. I'm at the point where I'm definitely selling for next season.

I would give up:
Sidney Crosby: $121 -> $146
Nathan Mackinnon: $62 -> $75

And get in return from Veskit:
Ryan O'Reilly: $42 -> $51
Brad Marchand: $21 -> $26

Both O'Reilly and Marchand were drafted this year, and I very much doubt I would keep Crosby or Mackinnon. My other two keepers would likely be Tarasenko ($36 -> $44) and Mark Stone ($2 -> $3).

So I lied and ended up moving Forsberg after all when Crawford was dangled. Forsberg/Johnson/Varlamov for Ovi/Ekblad/Crawford. I actually would have probably kept Johnson but he's the worst forward on my roster right now (although he appears to be heating up) because of his pure C eligibility and lack of other counting (and I was already running an empty D spot so Ekblad solves that).

Yeah I thought you might go for Crow. His stats are just too good and your goaltending needed some help. Plus Ovechkin, obviously. Ekblad is only $14 > $16 (17 if you round up) if you feel like keeping him, as well.

I think the trade makes my team a real contender next year. I'll have a ton of money at the draft and a solid group of keepers.
Gaudreau $6 > $7 (8 if we round up) - year 3 of 3
Forsberg $3 > $4 - year 2 of 3
Hellebuyck $1 > $2 - year 2 of 3

and then for my fourth spot I can either do:
Palat $3 > $4 - year 3 of 3
Johnson $18 >$22 - year 3 of 3

Palat/Johnson decision will depend on how they do down the stretch/in the playoffs, but at max I'm looking at spending $35 on keepers and potentially as low as $17.

If someone could remind me of the keeper rules in HHL, that would be great. I believe you can keep a player for 4 years, which means I have Wayne Simmonds next year (I first drafted him before the 2012-13 season), correct?

You may keep (4) players from last year's FINAL roster. If you have kept a player for (3) straight years you cannot keep him again (as in, they've been on your roster for 3 seasons). The keeper cost continues to be their cost from last year + 20%

The wording is dumb I should probably rewrite that. Essentially you can have a player for 3 seasons. The season in which you pick them up + 2.


e: I don't even remember how we've been doing trades. I think the years on the previous team count but if that's wrong feel free to correct me.

Well the wording is "if they've been on your roster for 3 seasons" so if you acquire a keeper via trade that should be year 1 of them being on your roster. I'm obviously biased here because I want Forsberg for as long as possible though. I'm fine with the rule being that a player can only be kept (ie, not eligible for the draft) 3 years in a row regardless of how many teams own them over that time span if that's what the majority of the league wants.

The rule has been kept for three years regardless of trades, hence the Seguin drama an offseason or two ago.

Really if you're a bad team you should be auctioning off your best players that you aren't going to keeper. So there should be a flurry of trades every year.

If you're a contending team you have to think about whether or not you want to sacrifice the future but if you're a bad team there should be no question you trade anything not bolted down for futures.

Uhhh -- I dont know. Up to you guys, I guess. I can technically just edit the cap I believe preseason to literally give him the $40 (and you $40 less).

If we end up allowing trading cap space I'd probably want to put a cap on it at a certain number (probably $50-$100).

I'd be ok with being able to trade cash for the next season as well. Definitely agree with a hard limit for how much extra cash you can have/how much you can sell. Maybe $50 in either direction? That way everyone theoretically ranges between $450-$550. I think that's a big enough gap to give the top teams an advantage, maybe an extra top tier player, but not a large enough difference to completely crater any sort of parity we have.
