Update and Trades

Hey everyone, Just an update and reminder that the trade season is open.  So far we have an extra $30 in the prize pot thanks to trades.  I've made the most recent trade getting rid of Ovechkin and welcoming Giroux to the Hodgson clan.

Bob continues to lead the pool, and Ted and I complain about it on a daily basis at work.

Thanks to Paul who sent me his money through e-mail transfer....I was reluctant to accept it at first because for all I know it could have been some elaborate scam, but so far it seems to be on the up and up -so if you still owe money and want to transfer it that way go ahead.

The early bird prize for leading the pool by December 1st is approaching (so I have some ground to gain this week), and whoever wins that will get $16 -a pretty tidy sum if I do say so myself...that's eight cans of Tuborg Gold (pricing leak for non-BRI employees).

Here are a list of the trades, and remember to check out the blog for any other stats or updates.


Thanks,

-Tyler B.

The Trade Market has opened!

Hey everyone,

The trade season has opened and I thought I should let you know about it incase you want to improve/disrupt your teams.

Remember, you have until the all-star game...which is some time in January to make your trades so don't panic and make them all right now....unless you want to.

Also, remember to refer to the trade value sheets that I posted earlier on this (the) blog.  Most trades cost $5, and the marquee boxes cost $10.

So, because a couple of people were keen on the pool calendar I have a couple of trades to announce.

Bob (ZdenoChara...) has traded Andy MacDonald for Valtteri Filppula.

Ted (Ted's Team) has traded Steve Downie for Scott Hartnall, and Andy MacDonald for Valtteri Filppula.

I have not made any trades yet because I'm indecisive.


These trades have raised the pool pot by $15 for the eventual winner.  If you're team is struggling then this might be an option for you -but way to go if you win and don't make any trades.


Any questions please let me know.


Thanks,


-Tyler B.
