Q:Are you comfortable with your current roster right now?
A:Yea, ive made alot of trades to fill my team with players i like, but there ability to win has yet to be seen.
Q:Your top line of Vanek-Koivu-Hemsky has only been able to produce around 2.6 points agame as a line, do you feel this is enough to keep yourself in a playoff spot, and make yourself a contender?
A:I beleive that the balance on my team can overcome that but i recently replaced koivu on that line with gagner hopeing they can produce more
Q:Ryan Kesler is currently your leading scorer, how do u feel about that, and what do u think its gonna take for the rest of your team to step up?
A:well i recently traded for Burrows and he is my leading scorer but i feel my 2nd line really clicked and it seems everyone is doing there job right now
Q:You have made a ton of moves as a gm this season, what do u think has been the best or influential on your team?
A:i think my best move was to acquire vanek and inject alot of youth into the line up , i think we have a good balance of players but our goalies are both really unproven
Q:Whats it like for you to be onboard the trade committe?Do u find it easy, or can it be difficult sometimes?
A:so far its been pretty easy all the trades have been fair and there has not been much work involved
Q:How can you prove that you sexier then ideen?
A:LOL ive seen his picture. oh and ask his mom lmao
Q:what has been the stupidest trade offer youve received this season?The Best?
A:the stupidest one was one that you offered me , Koivu,knuble for hemsky and vanek, i havnt really received any good ones i came up with all mine lol
Q: In your opinion, who has been your favorite GM to be around?The worst?
A:ideens probley my favorite hes a funny guy but i dont have a worst
Q:how do u think the league has been run so far? is there any improvements u think are needed?
A:i think its been great so far, its hard to find people but we have done a pretty good job of it so far, there could be a few improvements with activity and the adding of some prospects that are missing from people teams
Final Q:Are there any future plans u looking to make? is there a certain player u have ur eye on?
A:if i do make any deals they will just be small ones, but i have been trying to find a proven goalie and i have had zero luck so far.
