So...what to do

[oilfan10]

I agree with Walter Sobchak. Either you continue on completely, or you stop now. If you decide to only go for his rookie year stuff, once you're done what then? He plays for a team you obviously don't like so it would be tough to enjoy having and chasing his cards.

Problem is(if you choose to sell): do you sell now, or wait to see how he does at the beginning of the season? Do you think his value will be higher now or later?

First, why did the guy posting Kopitar make a worthless comment? Kopitar is the cornerstone of the franchise, nothing wrong with him............geez.

Completely irrelevant was all. All he posted was kopitar.

As far as never say never, sure, I get that, but you still can take a "calculated risk" on a guy who has a good shot of staying with the team for hsi career?

Yeah but I'm sure oil fans though gretzky would be with them forever. The lakers thought shaq would be there forever. Sundin would be a Leaf forever. Its too hard to predict WHO will actually stay with a team for a long time

Why do "hate" Schenn? He hasn't even played a game yet for LA? Did you "hate" Doughty when he got drafted? Or Kopitar?

I think Schenn will do fine and be either a great player for our team or a nice addition to a trade package to acquire something/someone better.


Personally I feel schenn was the worst pick for us. I just don't think he will pan out to be more than a dustin brown with less skills and i think that after his 1st contract is up he bounces to toronto to be with luke. If we can trade him, then great

Oh yeah, it's BarrIE with an "IE", like Ontario, not Barry, like steroids man Bonds.

my bad

And finally, don't be so bitter son, you are a big ball of sourpuss the past 6 months, ease off the throttle turbo! Lighten up SON!

live my life and don't be bitter

replied in red. still no clue what to do. I feel so unmotivated to continue but I know I won't be able to get close to what i put into the PC. And just keeping what I have will annoy me having almost half his cards with nothing to do with them.

1. i HATE schenn. it was a miracle I DIDNT throw the remote through the screen
2. you haven't been paying attention huh barry? the rumors are JMFJ is going to be traded/walk since he's asking an insane amound (yet i believe both rumors are false)
3. never say never. if gretzky can get traded....
4. I have pc guys in mind but they won't have rookie cards for a bit (Voinov and Loktionov, mainly lokti)

See this is how i feel. I would have continued to collect boyle if he went to a team I like IE phoenix/hamilton/yotes/bankruptcy, flames, avs, sens, CBJ. I don't like the rangers. Rich's post sums up sorta how I feel. Its going to be impossible to get back what i put into the PC but I know that after I stop getting cards of boyle, I am going to regret getting the ones after he was traded (barring a miracle where he becomes a superstar).



thanks for the worthless post.....

I meant collect Anze Kopitar, thought you could draw that conclusion, guess not, its all good tho, good luck making a decision

Dude, you need to lighten up. And you said it yourself, if Gretzky can get traded then...................?

So I guess that means you cannot collect anymore because ANY player can go at ANY time.

I think Kopitar was a great answer from that guy. He, more than anyone else, is likely to stay in LA.

And even you don't think much of Schenn, "hate" is a strong word. Plus, when you are a "fan" of a "team" don't you cheer for the logo on the front not the name on the back?

C'mon dude, get out of your funk and relax, don't be so downtrodden all the time..........

[Ray33]

You need to make a choice for yourself.

[patrickadams26]

i believe that you should stick with the guys you like. There was some reason you chose to collect him.

yeah but there are players i don't like. aka frolov and bernier. but the thing i'm trying to get across barrie is it's near impossible to predict who will actually stay with their team for a LONG time or their whole career. its a gamble and it needs to be calculated

oh lol. ive actually considering it and you just sparked my interest again

the reason i collected him was he went to my 2nd favorite college, BC, and was on my favorite team. he's no long on my favorite team so...

[patrickadams26]

but he still went to your 2nd favorite college. so atleast there is still something that can connect him and a reason to collect him as PC. The only other thing is find your 2nd favorite team what players are on that team that you like and most likey won't move to an other team.

I think in a market like today, you have to collect players and stick with them for being a player you like and teams and stick with them because you like the team. It's too risky to collect a player because he plays for your team because as everyone is saying....if Gretzky can get traded. I collect Luke Schenn and I am a Maple Leafs fan, BUT when I heard the possible rumours of Schenn getting traded to move up in the draft I was more than prepared to keep collecting him in a Lightning or Kings Uniform. I like his style and he seems like a pretty down to earth guy. There will rarely EVER be an Yzerman situation in hockey EVER again where you start and retire with the same team----Sakic as well even though they moved. I wonder how long it will be before Malkin and Crosby are split up by trade. That's what makes the choice of collecting a player BECAUSE he plays on your team so hard to justify. If you don't like him as a player and you know you will never follow him now that he's not on LA.....dump him now.

Keep this year's stuff and then stop.
