So I offered James Neal in a trade offer as a joke...

[bluck]

And the manager accepted! I'm proud to welcome Panarin to my team!

Little context... the manager is a massive Oiler fan and I'm a Flames fan. He's been rubbing it in my face over this Neal/Lucic trade so I figured I'd wait for Panarin to have a stinker and make the offer. Maybe the -3 helped today? I don't know... either way I'm super shocked he accepted, totally offered it as a joke. Best part is.. I added Neal like 4 days ago from waivers.

That's just crazy!

The overreactions to hot/cold starts are usually pretty bad but I feel it's getting worse and worse every year. Probably a social media thing with people becoming more impulsive and need immediate gratification. No patience.

Outstanding trade!

I am an Oilers fan but that is a super awesome deal for you.

[Doug Glatt]

Cant catch a fish unless you cast a line. Well done.

What in tarnation

One should never underestimate the stupidity of people.

I'm in awe. As a person who has Neal... I'm doing that as soon as my acquisition counter resets. People told me the guy I should be looking at is Hertl. I'm going for Point, Rantanen, Matthews, etc. I was going to package Olofsson in with him. Maybe, I don't even have to?

You're an inspiration. I will bet anything that owner tries trading you back for Panarin in a few weeks, or less.

LOL people just cant stand not having immediate gratification the patient level with people is nearing ZERO lol

[Blues_fan1000]

I’d get laughed out of my league if I offered that deal. Can’t say I’m not jealous.

Informed GMs on this forum scoff at this but the reality is alot of GMs aren't informed and don't visit forums or put much effort into anything about fantasy hockey. They see a guy that's playing with Connor McDavid and is on pace to score over 100 goals and hit accept. It's beyond silly but people do this with all kinds of things when they're investing in anything really.

It never hurts to ask because once in a while you get a yes that can win you the season. This trade has that type of potential. Well done OP.

[hockeymanG23]

So appropriate, I'll drink to that.

[bluck]

He’s now trying to justify the trade by saying Panarin gets no “side” stats...but whatever. I can find hits and blocks on the waiver any day of the week. My team is in a pretty good spot for sog as well

A 2nd round pick for a waiver wire add. Wow, great score. Good job.
