I love posts like these because it reminds me of the same feeling I had when I first stumbled onto this site. Sign up for AIM, tell us your screenname and let's play some '94!

I agree with you on the ratings, but any normal rating system will value Mogilny way higher. But forget the numbers. Francis has a 4/3 shot, both Carson and Shanahan 4/5. I so can see wanting to trade Francis for a more accurate shot. They all have 4 stick handling, and 4 passing. Shanahan the weakest skater 3/3, Carson the best 4/4, Francis in between 3/4. Francis the better checker out of all of them. There is a close mix here, but if the goal was to get a better shot than Francis...what was the cost? Mogilny? 4/5 shot (sniper) to begin with, so there is no gain in shot, and the rest of his attributes blow away the other 3 (except weight). So that's what doesn't make sense. That's what I meant by the other 3 are similar -- yes, Carson and Shanahan are better than Francis, mainly because of shot accuracy, but that's about it.

Also, if you take Robitaille out of the picture, it comes down to trading 3.09 & 5.12 for 3.13 & 5.04. Doesn't get much closer than that.

I traded for Luc for my 3.09 pick because I thought I was a good value and I could trade him later. I shopped him around for a goalie, but there were no buyers. Any goalie I wanted was already gone by my 3rd pick, so when it came down to the 5th, I was willing to let Roby go for Chevy because I wanted a goalie. Would I rather have Robitaille & Casey, or Zhamnov and Cheveldae? I chose the latter, given I had two strong F anyway. The point is, I can tell a story here, and people can follow. I also didn't think it was as lopsided as smoz's calcs. With the Mogilny trade, it doesn't make sense. Carson, Shanahan, Francis are all close enough, interchangeable based on what someone wants. Mogilny however is in another league and I can't understand what was gained to Iceguy with this trade. I think Sicarius' use of overall numbers shows the value point clearly. (ANY rating system would have Mogilny rated waaaay higher than the other 3). The other point is there is no explanation for this trade (i.e. swap forwards for defense, size for speed, etc.)

I'm sure other A guys can do the earlier time, so I'll leave it to them to fill it up. I'll have to catch you later in the season.

How late can you go? I can play around 10:00 CDT, but can go earlier if you're not going to be around that long.

You can send me your next 6 players that you want and I can put in your pick if your turn comes tonight. But with Pearate in France, it's like 4:00 am there now, and I didn't get his list , so I doubt you'll be picking tonight anyway.

The next 5-6 guys have all received a message from me...you can always AIM message me and ill get a text of your picks.

Can't speak of the others, but the first one was a classic "keg toss" designed flip pass behind the net with the flip button (A). Sebe punched it in, instead of shooting though, lol. Other examples: http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/13351-keg-toss/

Wookie and RWD finished up their series this week, with Wookie moving on in 7 games. Also, the tidal wave known as the Blitz draft hit this week and all the coaches who are in the playoffs are involved (or running it). As such, no round 2 games were played or discussed. Even I'm not immune to the draw of Blitz. So we get a pass. Now that the Blitz draft is heading towards the second half, I expect we can get back on the survivor playoff schedule. EAST KingRaph (1) vs Smozoma (4) Freydey (2) vs Wookie (3) WEST IceStorm (1) vs BoKnowsNHL94 (5) Houli (2) vs Carse (6)

Confirmed

Confirmed

To VAN: Pick 3.09 To DAL: Luc Robitaille

Confirmed

It's actually 3.09 , confirmed

Essensa is the 2nd protect, Andreychuck the 4th (jumped the gun)

The Dallas Stars protect Gary Roberts for the 2nd Round.

I see you guys played 4 games and the series is tied 2-2. Any update on when you plan on finishing? Let's try not to drag this out too long.

Louie14, this has helped some people: http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/13400-got-94-herpes-heres-the-cure/page__p__107860__hl__cure__fromsearch__1#entry107860

AJ does mention him: "Brent Gilchrist: 6 weight, 4/3 skating, 3/2 shot, 4 sth, 3 pass, 2/2 aware, Shoots: L Gilchrist is a bit better fit as a winger as he has average puck moving skills and is a slightly better skater than Craig. The lack of awareness though is a little bothersome as he has a tendency to wander around. " However, both Broten (for more defense) or Gagner (for more offense) are better starting options than Gilchrist to pair with Modano/Courtnall.
