    My pending trade... I give Shea Weber, Zajac, Cam Ward, and Brodeur (IR) and get Zetterberg, Chara, Tim Thomas and Holmstrom (IR). How'd I do here?
    My team will be,,,

    C- Datsyuk,Ribiero,Mike Richards,Zetterberg(C,LW),Briere(IR)
    LW- Kunitz, A. Burrows, Erikkson, Frolov
    RW- Antropov(RW,C),Perry,Erat,Hudler,Havlat,Holmstrom(IR)
    D- Suter, Chara, Ehrhoff, Rafalski
    G- Kipprusoff, Thomas, Hiller

    What can I do to improve my chances in the playoffs? This is a 10 team H2H league, and things are very close. Only 12 points seperate the top 6 teams right now.

      You could kiss the person you traded with. It's only polite to do so after you;ve f#@ked 'em.

      Antropov, Erat and Hiller are kind of your weak spots on the team, I think. Hiller is not getting the starts he used to with Giguere bouncing back, and he's not performing to the level he did when he DOES get the nod. You might regret letting Weber go, but to be frank he has been utterly tanking lately and shows no sign of pulling out of it.

      C has been a deep position traditionally. I'd try to trade, for a third quality goalie or defenseman (depending on how many you can start each game. What about the FA list; whose available?

        Not much in the FA pool. Mostly mediocre centers top the list but quality wings are few and far b/t. There is zero respectable goalies out there. I am finding goalies are extremely difficult to get teams to part with, hence the screw job I delivered in this trade. Which center would you recommend I offer and for whom? I will not get a top tender, and will be lucky to land a mediocre starter.

      anybody make suggestions as to how to improve? I am thinking I need help at LW, but which position am I able to part with a player and whom should I seek out to trade for?
