In all honesty take out Sydor or Lehtinen and the 2nd and Malik and this is fair enough. At the beginning of the year everyone probably would have said yes because they may have not known how good the blues were or maybe everyone knew idk

everybody knew lol. I pick them for the cup every year. It is them or Pittsburgh and maybe one team gets lucky every year. Teams are getting built on bad trades. The judgement on trades needs to be better or nobody will catch the 2 or 3 teams that are miles ahead of us!!!

You can't punish teams for making trades that benefit them. Blues built his team up quite a bit by making solid deals that most teams could have made.

This is not about blaming Blue’s. This is about a secondary team that never made public the availability of good players and then traded them quickly in a losing deal. This is not about blues it is about Whalers. We have secondary teams so we did not have no-gm trading. This trade falls more under the category of what is happening to that secondary team.

No not everybody had the players to make a stupid trade like I did to get Hull and Oates just like not everybody had the players to make a stupid trade like you did to get Lemieux and Jagr. We were the stupid GM's that helped to stack two teams that will be very hard to ever beat!!

[Buffalo Sabres]

This was actually a three-way trade with me getting 20 Darryl Sydor 85 D 18 YR, Blues gets Brisbois, and I'll throw Whalers a 2nd. Does that work?

Anyway this all comes down to the King (Leafs) and Queen (Oilers) of the league. Either reject or accept and all your peasants can move on before we bring on a uproar

Calling us the King and Queen... that takes me back to my english arts society days lol usually the titles are reversed

[Edmonton Oilers]

Also, Queens usually rule things, and the King is traditionally a figurehead. In such case, I am the King, not the Queen.

can be the Augustus and Basileus, emperors of Western conference and Eastern conference

[Edmonton Oilers]

Toronto Maple Leafs- remember that time we didn't have teams, but we each represented a conference and just trashed each others conference the whole time? I think that was the site that never really ever started that we made for (name redacted).

So I guess we should be able to officially announce the Blues as the Stanley Cup winners for this year with this trade, well this year and a few more, so I am looking to make trades for the future as we are just chasing for awhile now

I understand what you are saying, but when you say things like this, it makes everyone's job 10 times harder. It either makes it look like we are undoing trades because we don't want a team to make trades and get better, or, if we don't undo the trade, it makes it look like we are allowing people to shadily stack up teams, which also brings morale down because people will start to buy into the idea that a team is unbeatable, etc, etc.
