It looks like you have some interest in the 22nd pick in the draft? Too bad he is 19.


I did - but EDH doubled my offer and priced me out of the market.


Yeah. 2,000 is a lot to let go.

Did everyone else find that their merchandise $$$ was severely $&@!'ed up? Mine was about 10k less than average and 7k less than the lowest I have seen it in D2.

I forgot that you make all that extra $$$ by using sweatshop labor to make those Kim jerseys, plus no need to pay for transport as all the Chinese are forced to buy them (must explain why my two adopted Chinese daughters are sporting new petersburg jerseys around the house)

On a serious note i wonder if it has anything to do with the lack of roster turnover i had for this season?

Mine is up slightly as well and good chunk higher than the average. Less roster turnover should mean more merchandising money, at least according to the fan survey. The American and team drafted top talent can make a difference as well.

On that note, I am very curious to see how my new American acquisition stacks up against rocket science tomorrow. Should be a pretty good barometer on whether I am a contender or pretender this season.

That is what puzzles me...same roster, held on to a crappy draft pick this year, have a 20 year old on my roster that I drafted two seasons ago, just got a player named to the Bolivian U21 team, lost in the semi's, AND let someone besides Wallis win the scoring title.

Guess I better do a bit better than one and done in the Cup.

What is up with the $1500 drop in TV revenue?

I can only see two real reasons.
1. Shameless setting the minimum weight for their cheerleaders at 250+. No one wants to see that in HD
2. Anchorage not taking the $$$ and moving the franchise to a market that had more that a sled dog team's worth of viewers.

The merchandising for the US players is based on the total salary so lower salaried guys won't have a huge impact. The NT component is weighted heavily on minutes played in NT games that week so it can swing a bunch if they don't play that week. I know that there is a bonus for US players that get minutes on the NT, not sure if there is one for larger vs. smaller countries (i.e. more money for a Spanish player than a Costa Rican player).

Yeah, a better Cup performance would help too.
