What's up everybody. Now that most of the bidding is complete. Here are some questions that i asked Owners or Captains. Enjoy!
Q: What team are you?
Florida Panthers
Q: Who was your 1st bid on (Even if you didn't get him)?
Culdesac, stoner, Insane_Hellfire ( we ended up landing 2 out of 3)
Q: What was you last bid on (Even if you didn't get him)?
IceAJ We needed a good back up RD that I knew could play the stye I wanted for when me or Hardik can't play games. I'm happy we got Ccurtis for that role on the LD side
Q: Who was your highest bid (won)?
Culdesac and ACK stonerboy at 1.5M
Q:Who did you have a bidding war on?
Buffalo and Colorado for Insane_Hellfire We couldn't go higher than 4.5 cause of the cap space we had during that time
Q: Who was your biggest bidding rival?
Buffalo, Colorado cause they had way more cap space then us
Q: Who would you say was your greatest pick up skill wise?
Culdesac, Prodigy says that It's stoner but I never played with him yet so I'll go with the player that I know very well.
Q: Who would you say you got for the best price?
Stoner was apparently a steal. I'm Quite excited to see what he can do. I knew Culdesac was gonna be less than 2M cause not many know him
Q: Who were you most disappointed that you didn't get?
We were disappointed to not get Insane Hellfire.
Q: What position do you think you are currently lacking or lacking skill at?
Need to evaluate the RW, but I think we will be fine cause we're already working on filling that very important role. We will try out line combination next week to evaluate who works best in that position. I'm not to worried though, I like what I'm seeing so far.
Q: What position would you say you have the most players at?
LW and C
Q: How many trades do you see yourself doing in the first 2 weeks?
About 2 trades
Q: Do you think there will be any inactives on your team?
Never know, so far everyone seems pretty excited to play here
Q: What player are surprised went so high in bidding ?(Names and explanation)
Sample at 8.5M He's alright but 8.5M... gee ! Malkin and Shot at 8M is pretty high. The Premium you need to pay for a dmen in bidding can inflate the price so quickly but at least malkin is a good guy and seems to be easy to work with, he's quite offensive and if you're looking for a dmen like that to start your puck rush then I guess it could work out ? but still 8M for him is quite salty. For Shot, me personally I don'T deal with "Problematic, egotistical or diva attitude" If you can deal with that type of player. Then I guess it can be ok for the skills. But I would never bid on a player with that type of reputation personally. I have enough personalities to deal with at my work, I don't want to play babysitter on a video game.
Q: What player are you surprised went so low in bidding?(Name and explanation)
ACK Stoner: Prodigy claims he has good skills and to get a potential starting center for our team at 1.5M... I love it and i'm excited to see what he can do.
Q: What team would you say had the best bidding?
That's a very hard question, obviously teams who landed great players that they could afford.. like Tarasenko at 10M, he's a great winger
Winnipeg. So just because they got a very good player, I'll say them.
Q: What team would you say had the worst bidding?
Boston, they had the chance to make a good splash and they didn't. All the teams that went for their AHL friends have lost the real chance to build a strong team through bidding. And they are about to meet a brick wall called "Reality"
Q: What team do you think will finish 1st overall in standings?
I like what Detroit did with their team Carolina will be good this season again, LA kings seems pretty intimidating with that forward lineup. I think it will be LA or Vegas in the West, Detroit or Carolina in the East. Vegas will be the #1 team at the end of the season But Florida will win the CUP
Q:What team do you think will finish last in standings?
Boston in the east will be at the bottom , Minnesota in the west
Q: What team do you think will surprise everyone
It's so hard to talk about surprises when I don't know the new guys haha. I'll say Vancouver will finish higher then expected if scy doesn't quit :P
Q: What position do you see yourself finishing at the end of the season?
Well, I definitely think that we can compete against anyone in the league. I'll be bias when I say that we have the best defensive core in the league and we have some players that can pull on the same system from the get go. I like the skill we have in our forwards and can't wait to see what the other players that I haven'T seen yet can do for our team. I would see our team finish in the top 5 if the players that we need to play are available
Q: What team are you?
Tampa Bay Lightning
Q: Who was your 1st bid on (Even if you didn't get him)?
Bubba67
Q: What was you last bid on (Even if you didn't get him)?
Alcapone-514
Q: Who was your highest bid (won)?
Bdeez_Nutz
Q:Who did you have a bidding war on?
We had a bidding war on about 3-4 players. We decided to let them all go but we did win Bdeez_nutz
Q: Who was your biggest bidding rival?
Those dirty boys in the Western Conference and another little skirmish with Boston.
Q: Who would you say was your greatest pick up skill wise?
Hard to say. We weren't focused on anyone's individual skill. We were looking for players we felt would fit a particular roll.
Q: Who would you say you got for the best price?
A few for minimum which we were real happy about.
Q: Who were you most disappointed that you didn't get?
Like I mentioned before, we didn't have our heart on anyone. We lurked for a day and then pursued guys we felt would fill a very particular roll for us.
Q: What position do you think you are currently lacking or lacking skill at?
I don't think we are really "lacking" in any position. With the new 10 game week we made sure that we had depth across every position.
Q: What position would you say you have the most players at?
We evenly dispersed our roster to not be too heavy in one spot as well as signing a couple of gentlemen that are solid 5 position utility players.
Q: How many trades do you see yourself doing in the first 2 weeks?
The plan is to have 0. Trades are usually just trading our potato for your potato in most cases.
Q: Do you think there will be any inactives on your team?
I'd be very surprised if we did. We contacted everyone we bid on, traded for, drafted and resigned to make sure they all were playing and if they wanted to play for us in our system.
Q: What player are surprised went so high in bidding ?(Names and explanation)
Not really surprised. There are always guys that go for 8m+ every season. Low supply in some positions causes a high demand and prices.
Q: What player are you surprised went so low in bidding?(Name and explanation)
Like I mentioned before, no real surprises.
Q: What team would you say had the best bidding?
We weren't very focused on others bids besides our own. So we had the best...?
Q: What team would you say had the worst bidding?
We'd have to see who had the worst bc there are always surprises. But idk how some of you kids spend right to the cap. It's like living paycheck to paycheck.
Q: What team do you think will finish 1st overall in standings?
I think the strong teams from last season will still be strong this year. But I think there are a couple new teams that may surprise.
Q:What team do you think will finish last in standings?
Tampa...
Q: What team do you think will surprise everyone?
Real hard to say... hopefully Tampa but maybe San Jose?
Q: What position do you see yourself finishing at the end of the season?
Between a rock and a hard place.
Q: What team are you?
Dallas Stars
I think we can finish top 10. Our starting players has good availability. Even if we are in a tough division, we can finish in the top 3 and clinch a playoffs spot.

semple19 went pretty high, solid player but that was a reach. There's a few others that are overpaid as well.

Barry forsure, we actually attempted a sign and trade that would've landed him at 2.5m so to grab him at the minimum was surprising

ANA,VAN,COL,SJS all did pretty good imo
