RE: Re: Trade For Martin St. Louis


Jack Boy,

Now listen, I now I am just a cowboy that doesn't know much about this hockey stuff, but I do know business. I put you in charge of this team, because I trust you - and I still do.

However Jackie, I just am not sure about this move.

Mara was a young marketable kid.

I don't know anything about this Martin St. Louis guy, but I wonder if our fans will want to cheer for a guy named St. Louis. What happens when we play the Blues?? Our fans are not going to want to cheer for St. Louis while we play St. Louis.

Another thing. My guys tell me that this guy doesnt have grit. He might even be a Lady Byng. I don't know what that is, but I don't want a Lady on my team!!!

As far as the recent additions, I have to trust you. But, giving a million dollars to a 29 year old who hasn't played in the NHL?? How do you even pronounce Lubomir?!?!? How can I market a guy named Lubomir??

As far as marketing goes, Vinny is going to be our focal point all year long. I want Vinny bobbleheads, Vinny calendars, Vinny Lecavalier cereal.

If there is a park bench, I want Vinny's face on it, so our fans can sit on his face.

I have contacted my sources at Nike to even get a Vinny Lecavalier shoe. An Ice Vinny shoe will be great!!!

I just wanted to second this as it's always nice to see another EHM Dynasty on here. I love the interoffice Memos that you are doing. Hopefully you get in a position to draft Stamkos again. Guys a Legend.

Thank you!! I wanted to try something different, because 80plus writeups would be brutal lol. I hope I can continue this long enough to be able to get to Stamkos' draft year.
