Good Day All,
Many of you have asked me about Ryan Stanton and Nick Holden, and I was serious when I said I was not interested in moving them. Obviously with the NHL Season under way, some players (more specifically a curly haired kid on Long Island) have played beyond their expectations, and if this small sample size is any indication on how they will play for the remainder of the year, it would be plain stupid to not re-rate them.
Seeing as we only get two per year and said player(s) are performing well, it would leave Stanton and Holden behind, which is not fair to either player, who deserve a re-rate. I wasn't able to do so this year, and it seems as if I may not be able to next year. I AM willing to wait it out, but am not opposed to hearing what may be out there for these two, if someone still needed a re-rate, or if you are willing to wait.
With that said, I would be willing to package them together, but I would, obviously, want a VERY solid return. At least a defenseman who can play at the NsHL level. Based upon that player, the rest of the offer can be discussed. I don't want any of you to think I've held them back with the plan of doing this right before the start of the year, but as I've stated, the situation has changed, and I am willing to hear what is out there.
Thanks all.
Happy Halloween.
