LGHL Bidding Recap Part 2 (Gamertags E-I)

Educated Thumbs - $500,000
@Mormon Fuzz - Educated thumbs aka CitizensErased is a LONG TIME CHLer. He has over 11 fucking szns in the CHL, god bless him. With our guy @B L A M E x 67 taking owner in the NHL (the long time CHL BOG) im sure he must know a lot about ET. He has had some unbelievable CHL szns over the yrs and almost always been above .500 with fantastic numbers. He has rarely played AHL (2 semi szns) and only really ECUd in the NHL (besides maybe S17 the merger). However, his CHL lifetime numbers are very impressive which is probably hard to do in the CHL considering most of the D suck down there and the FWDs dont back check but can score and put up points. If he is able to translate that to the NHL where he will mostly play with people with a good hockey sense and who actually help on D, he should have no problem being successful and at 500K is a good contract.

EfKevinHess - $1,000,000
@KesselySnipes420 - decided to change his GT to something a little more shitty. EfKevin has some elite xbox CHL stats and 2 pretty damn good PSN NHL stats the last 2 szns over there. He seems to be another guy who improved his game in NHL 19 and even more so in NHL 20. This could be another steal for CHI as they have a couple of sneaky PSN guys they were able to grab cheap. Efkevin is in a great position to succeed with the stacked D core of CHI where his job will just be to put pucks in the net with over a 20%+ shooting % over on PSN in his 2 NHL szns

EH Danger - $500,000
@EH Danger - aka The Master I Am is a name most of you probably never heard of and the old heads havent seen in yrs. Danger was one of the best Gs during the LG merger 2nd szn in S17 and S18 which were arguably some of the most competitive szns of all time where he was a monster. After that though he didnt fair nearly as well and hasnt really been seen again in LG since s22. He makes his return and got a 500K bid but was then traded to Deke and The washed up shitter who was once one of the best players and most respected owners in the league @BigJayAyotte himself. Jay seems to be back and living for Chel and over lame ass NBA, so hopefully The Master and Jay can get back to grinding and help make DAL one of the western playoff teams this szn

El Donn Juan - $2,000,000
@El Donn Juan - aka Donnzy was an AHLer with pretty good stats who decided to play CHL last szn and just tear up the competition. He played on @Greggy x 74 CHL team and im assuming they were paired together and they just went on an insane run in the CHL playoffs together of 11-0-1 where they won the stupid ass Mem Cup that no one cares about. Greggy and Don were a fantastic Dpairing and look to bring that success to the AHL. Don was won at 2M and locked up for 2S and greggy after being a turd and taking a CHL team on his rookie deal has 2M 2S left on his D so they will look to man the blue line for TBL for the next 2S on very good deals for 2 guys who have a lot of chem and have had success together. I look for big things from the two of them and possibly each of them to be in the calder race for rookie of the yr


Elevate-SZN - $750,000
@Elevate-SZN - Elevate is a PSN AHL/CHL guy who has had some pretty impressive szns. He looks to be a 2way type player which is exactly what is needed for a CHI team that is absolutely loaded on the back end and has Dmen who like to do stuff offensively. Elevate made the jump to NHL on PSN this szn as well and was slapped with a 750K contract over there and locked up for 3S. He will be one of the more under the radar guys this szn who if he can balance xbox and psn should be set for a breakout yr on both consoles and really get his name out there as an established NHLer

EliteBe4TheKids - $500,000
@EliteBe4TheKids - aka BrandomBramanti, one of the better cheap players for a long time still has a bad rep ever since he took mgmt for once szn. Brandon was an elite league owner in the best league ever UOHL (2 line league) and he started playing LGHL around the same time all of us made the jump. Brandon had 2/3 good szns his first 3 szns on LG and LG hit a wall and needed some owners and brandon volunteered bc he had a lot of experience in UOHL and was a hell of an owner there always building top teams who contended for titles. Brandons problem was, he LOVES to argue with everyone, he told everyone UOHL top teams were better than LG, he likes to go at it with people in the CB, he likes to go at it with BOGs, essentially he is never wrong. The problem with that was, he was still considered a LG 3rd liner or fill guy on good lines and when people saw he got owner and he had already rubbed people the wrong way, people did not want to play for him. Then he grabbed all his guys cheap and spent way over the normal that people spend on guys for a top line and his team just looked messy and people didnt think he knew wtf he was doing. The team actually looked alright but was a chatbox nightmare and fell apart in weeks. Brandon was essentially shunned from the league ever since that day and hit with the most s of all time on LG. He is still a good player, he has great hockey instinct, good thumbs and plays smart and hes also a good team guy, as PHI cup win can attest to when he sat himself so they could ECU him and position swap off the faceoff which helped them win the cup. On top of that he is 9/9 and again just a pretty good guy. His big issue these days is he doesnt play the game as much and doesnt have people to play with. His guys dont play like they use to and he cant seem to catch on with a new group of guys. Hopefully yargage is the answer, i think they may butt heads but if not it could be a beautiful new relationship both have been looking for


Ethan x 97 - $7,500,000
@Ethan x 97 - aka Deathclown, one of the more recently talked about PSN guys making the switch. Death somehow went straight to the NHL on PSN without any AHL or CHL games played. He was the number 1 pick in the NHL on PSN and has been playing like it ever since he was taken first overall. He is another guy who is just insane with the LT meta that came with NHL 19 and has been able to continually build upon that in NHL 20 while improving in other nuances of his game. He has now established himself as a first liner and even G7 player over on PSN in just 3Szns. He recently made the jump to xbox to play scrims and compete in ESHL hitting up the chat and being called the other Ethan bc of Xbox elite LTer @EthanF74 who seems to have disappeared after his ESHL team fell apart and he kept getting overpaid in LGHL. Death will look to bring his PSN success to xbox LGHL and xbox esports and he should have no problem doing so with his skill and with the group of guys he will be paired with in the LGHL cup champions. I and many others are expecting a big szn out of him, only issue that might hold him back is that hes playing PSN this szn as well, which many of the CAR guys are, but i dont see it being a problem


ExP_40 - $1,500,000
@xBBoeser - aka GHOST the reigning VEZINA winner went with a big GT change and headed back into bidding. He was the surprise of the league last yr coming out of nowhere on one the the pre season cup favorite teams to win the starting job and he ran away with it and then some. He posted some stellar numbers and took home a lot of hardware. Hell of a szn for your first time ever on Xbox and back on the team at an awesome price tag of 1.5M, look for Ghost to be back in the vezina hunt again this szn and CAR to be back in a presidents race and cup contention.


F0G 19 - $9,000,000
@F0G 19 - F0G is one of the best RWs in the game. He is one of the few PSN players who came over to Xbox esports and performed well but hasnt had it translate to xbox LGHL yet. His first 2 szn on xbox he didnt do so great, He played with his boy doublebruh the first szn and they were alright. Doublebruh then dominated a couple szns later and won the cup while being nominated for a number of awards. F0g then tried to sign up on D bc he was afraid he would go for even more money after a couple insane PSN szn where he has just absolutely dummied that league in the CHL his first szn and then straight to the NHL where he has dominated every szn since S8-12. The real reason he probably tried D for a szn and thought hed go for a lot is bc he has been a freak in esports as well and has become one of the more talked about RWs since NHL19 where he really stood out with his ability to LT and create offense and beat people 1 on 1 as well as be a good team player and stand out defensively. He was opened at 8M which would of been a nice price and then immediately cock blocked by CGY who is one of the other 2PSN guys (of the 3) who manages in the league and knew he was going to LA with his buddy Toppest as their GM. They ultimately won him for 9M and he will be relied on as a 1st liner and g7 player and he should have no trouble carrying the load, especially with Toppest on his line where they are predicted to be a playoff team in the west.


FiBERSTiCK - $4,250,000
@FiBERSTiCK - Fiber had 4 straight 17+ win szns since he came up to the NHL. A lot of people talked about this guy being one of the next 1st line dman guys. Unfortunately, he fell of and fell of hard last szn finishing with just 8 wins. He started to get a lot of complaints about him being too offensive minded and will have to get back to simplifying things a bit this szn. He was passed around last szn and was on an awesome contract. He had to go back into a weak bidding class for Dmen and was hit with a brutal 4.25M contract. If he is able to return to previous szns form, then the 4.25M contract could pay off, but from everything ive heard from people he isnt the player he once was, and mainly bc he doesnt play the game as much or seem to care as he once did when he first started playing LG a few szns ago which has resulted in him being traded around quite a bit the like 2 szns, whereas you could offer almost anything to pry him off his teams hands the first 2 szns in the NHL. Heres to hoping he starts to live for it again and can live up to his contract and be the good guy and good player he once was


flyguy2525 - $4,000,000
@flyguy2525 - Fly was called up from the AHL last szn after going undefeated the first 2 weeks where he was shipped to a under performing BOS team who many expected to be better. Once he got to BOS he really helped solidify their back end where they made an incredible run to grab the 8th seed in the East in the last week of the szn. Fly was a big reason for that and Rip praised him and said he was a good player. He went back into bidding off an awesome contract and went for a whopping 4M. That is extremely unfortunate for him as he fit perfectly on that 3rd line dpairing or fill guy role and now will have to step up into a high end 2nd liner or low end first line role. I think he is up for the task and will prove himself as one of the better new dman in the league this szn, i look forward to seeing how it turns out

Focus TF - $4,250,000
@Focus TF - Focus spent 4 long szns in the CHL before earning his shot in the AHL. He had pretty good success his first CHL szn before following it up with 3 mediocre ones after that. Once he got his shot in the AHL in S32, he never looked back. He won 17 games in s32 and earned an NHL bid the following szn where he then posted back to back 18+ win szns in the NHL, establishing himself as a bonafide 2nd/3rd pairing NHL guy. He was sadly not resigned on his 1.25M contract and paid the price of being a good dman in a shallow bidding class as he went for 4.25M. He went to a NYI team who spent 9M on their 1st line RD so he will again be asked to carry 2nd line duties. A step up from his normal 3rd line or fill guy duty and this szn will be a szn hes looking to prove himself as better than a 3rd liner. He is a guy who is always looking to club, always looking to get better and seems like a guy who wants to be more involved in the community. This szn will be a chance for him to prove if he can step up to that high end 2nd, low end 1st liner role.


Fritz OGK - $3,750,000
@Fritz OGK - The innovator of offense himself gives FWD another go this szn after complaining about the small LT patch that altered the OP LT+A move to not work as well but still work. He was talking about switching to D bc FWD become so boring and there was no creativity involved but he ended up giving fwd another go. Fritz is one of the more interesting fwds as he tries a lot of stuff other people dont really do and at times it is amazing and other times it hurts him as he would be better suited to just move the puck and/or be better positioned without the puck. Fritz is a creative player who can score on his own and create for others and at a 3.75M price tag in this bidding is a good bid win as he is a guy who can carry a line but unlike most has some trouble filling on top lines which is weird for a player with the thumbs that fritz has. Sometimes doing too much can hurt you when playing with better players but Fritz is good enough that he can make the adjustment if needed and there arent many players who can carry lower lines anymore on wing like Fritz has the ability to do.


Gabseh - $10,000,000
@Gabseh got paid big bucks (2nd highest contract in bidding) to headline Montreal's offense. He is absolutely worth the hefty price in this bidding, but will he be able to replicate his recent success with this new-look Canadiens team who seemingly weren't planning on grabbing him at this price tag? If he does, he might just be the greatest "back up plan" in LG history.

GameGuru522 - $500,000
@GameGuru522 is looking to follow up on a breakout 74 point CHL season. Having already been traded from the Ducks to the Islanders, it will be interesting to see where Guru slides in. As the only amatuer on his current roster, I'd imagine he'll start the season off in Bridgeport. If his CHL success follows him to the AHL, he could see an NHL call-up in the near future on Long Island.

Gerbe x 42 - $500,000
@Gerbe x 42 much like the diminutive NHL forward of which he's named looks to make his return to the NHL after a rather lengthy hiatus from the league. Instantly signed to a 3S contract, it looks as though the Montreal Canadiens are looking for Gerbe to be a key part of their roster for the foreseeable future.

GiveMeDaPuck - $500,000
@GiveMeDaPuck seems likely to be given the puck plenty over the next couple of seasons after signing a 2S deal with the Washington Capitals. He has enjoyed some recent success at both offense and defense at the AHL level, so I'm sure Washington will be looking to use him as a solid two-way presence.

glex - $2,500,000
@glex has had a busy offseason thus far by signing a 2S contract and also agreeing to take his first shot at managing in the NHL by taking AGM for the Nashville Predators. He should definitely be worth his contract and looks likely to be a key piece of the Predators defense moving forward



GONGSH0W - $4,000,000
@GONGSH0W received a career high payday of 4m after rejecting a 1.75m contract extension in the offseason. It seemed like a solid move after a disappointing 8 win season, but it clearly didn't go as intended for Gongshow. As the second most expensive dman on the roster, Pittsburgh will rely on him heavily, and they will be hoping he can come close to returning to his 20 game winning form.

Goostaav - $5,500,000
@Goostaav comes in as the highest paid forward on the Florida Panthers roster. They are banking on Goostaav being the 20 win guy he's been over on the PS4 side. From the looks of it his priority will be owning on the PS4 side, so will he be motivated enough to perform at a high level on a Florida team in which much of the community expects to struggle?

Goouuu x 27 - $3,500,000
@Goouuu x 27 will be making the jump to the Xbox side for the first time in his LG career, while still playing over on the PS4 side. Looks like New Jersey will be looking to use him in a 2nd line role, which he should be more than capable of handling based on his PS4 success, and if he plays enough on the Xbox side.

Green Salt - $5,000,000
@Green Salt returns after being on a break from LG since winning the Cup in S29 ("you're welcome by the way." -Bossy). Montreal threw 5m on him right off the bat. Not a bad price at all, but you can't help wonder if they could've gotten him cheaper. Not sure how much he's played this game since his long break, so it'll be interesting to see how he performs.

Gregorian x 94 - $4,750,000
@Gregorian x 94 was one of a select few snipe-winning bids won by somebody other than @Dr Yargage. After a solid regular season and a sub-par playoff run on the Cup runner-up Avalanche, Gregorian got paid handsomely. Perhaps he'll get a chance to improve upon last seasons' playoff record with this seasons Ottawa Senators.

GregxWhite - $500,000 @GregxWhite comes fresh off his 2S ban and returns as a 500K goalie for the Nashville Predators. If all goes well, I expect Greg to battle with fellow 500K netminder @Binger for the number one goalie spot on Nashville.

Grxffon - $1,500,000
@Grxffon is looking to improve upon a rough 7 win first NHL season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, which saw the former 9th overall pick being bought out of his 2m contract. Nashville handed him a 2S contract, so I'd imagine they're hoping he can show why he was a top 10 draft pick.

Gumba l11l - $2,500,000
@Gumba l11l makes the jump after an All-Star season for the Admirals in the AHL. Considering the price paid to most top-end AHLers making the jump, Gumba appears to be on a solid 2S contract.

H0L7BY - $500,000
@H0L7BY is back in the cage after taking a season off to play forward in the CHL. He's been an 80+ sv% goalie for multiple seasons. The Penguins would certainly take another one of those from their backup netminder.

Hall of Fame31 - $500,000
@Hall of Fame31 I'm going to call you Mike Piazza because he's my favorite Hall of Fame athlete who's worn number 31. With a .500 career record and a matching 500K contract for 2S I'm not sure if Mike is headed for the NHL or AHL. Let's just hope he's better than Piazza was defensively.

Hart x l79l - $1,250,000
@Hart x l79l gets a nice 500K raise to be Winnipeg's number one goalie after a couple of nice season with the Maple Leafs. With a solid defensive core in front of him, Hart should have no problem putting up similar numbers.

hatemakerr - $3,000,000
@hatemakerr will likely be relied upon to be a solid top 6 forward for the Florida Panthers if his 3m contract is any indication. From the looks of it, current gen NHL hasn't been very kind to hatemakerr. Perhaps this is the season to turn things around on a solid Calgary roster.

Hedmxnn - $500,000
@Hedmxnn was given a 3S contract by the defending Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes. I don't know much about this guy, but you can pretty safely just assume that he's another Jclaus PS4 steal.

HEROxIDENTITY - $500,000
@HEROxIDENTITY comes to Seattle on a 500K contract after an incredible CHL performance that was capped off with a Mem Cup. I'm not sure why Hero wasn't given a multi-season deal. Perhaps there weren't enough contracts to go around in Seattle or maybe they aren't confident in his ability to produce at the NHL level just yet.

Hey GBYD - $500,000
@Hey GBYD returns to the NHL after a solid AHL season in San Antonio. He's certain to be pencilled in as the 3rd line RW for the Sens.

Hooter - $1,500,000
@Hooter looks like he'll be pencilled in as the 2nd line RD for the Anaheim Ducks. He might just be the lucky one to receive the honor of getting backpacked by the legendary @Pattelite.

Hope Legacyy - $500,000
@Hope Legacyy looks to make the jump to the NHL as a 3rd line RD for the New York Rangers team. I don't know what else to say, so I'll make a crappy pun. For the sake of his Legacyy, he's gotta Hope that the Rangers won't be as bad as the community expects.

hTz iNasty - $4,000,000
@hTz iNasty entered his first season of NHL bidding after his draft contract expired. He isn't one of the worst overpays of bidding, but this is a definite overpay. The off-handed left winger will be expected to be the first line left winger for the New York Rangers team. Whatever you do, don't try moving him off of LW or else he'll be sure to ego you.

I F3ROCIOUS I - $750,000
@I F3ROCIOUS I hasn't proven to be the big point producer that he's been at the lower levels in LG, but he should fit in nicely with the cheap forward army on Long Island. I could see him putting up similar numbers as his last season with Tampa.

I Fedxrov I91I - $750,000
@I Fedxrov I91I is a player who I'm not very familiar with, but the name Federov is recognized by many in the LG community. Let me quote Liam Neeson here "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want, but if you are anything like the former Federov and post stupid instructional videos, I promise that someone will find you and they will kill you."


I LEGENDS QC - $500,000
@I LEGENDS QC - 500K AHL guy in CGYs system last szn who must of made an impression on someone on PIT or knows a guy on the team. His AHL stats dont jump out at you but theyre good enough that at 500K that it earned him a shot in the NHL. This PIT team could be dangerous if the other line next to the MGMT line shows up and doesnt ghost for weak ass PSN like they did all last szn.

I Snails I - $500,000
@I Snails I - aka Desrosiers hasnt been a mainstay NHLer in a long time. He use to roll with WelcomeToTheWebb and SCLSU Mud Dog and was a big moose guy. This guy has some crazy thumbs and NJD must know bc they locked him up at 2S for 500K. Kevs problem has always been he was unreliable. His stats in LG are pretty ass and he hasnt been above .500 ever in the NHL and his AHL and CHL stats arent even good, but anyone who has played with him knows he has a lot of talent and is very good at creating and beating people one on one. He is older now, so hopefully he has grown up and is now more reliable than he use to be. If so and if hes grinding the game with the NJD guys like the NJD guys are known for, he could be in for a big szn. Shoutout Murph for prob introducing Kev to Twist



I wtfkevo I - $1,750,000
@I wtfkevo I - Kev had an awesome szn last yr in his first NHL szn where he was nominated for the Calder as well as the vezina. Kev is a very good Goalie who clubs a lot and will start as many games as you need him to and established himself as an NHL starter last szn seemingly coming out of nowhere as a Chatbox WHO NEEDS goalie after a relatively pedestrian szn in the AHL the yr prior. He caught on in the NHL chatbox always looking to club and was able to showcase his skills to get him a NHL bid last szn and hasnt looked back. Unfortunately for him he goes to NYI, one of the 2 teams in the league with a Goalie Owner. @DaYoungBuck said he wasnt gonna make himself the starter which is weird as fuck bc thats the main benefit of being an owner goalie and buck is def an NHL starter as well. The only place you really save cap as a Goalie owner is the other goalie and Buck went out and spent 1.75M on a starter or split starter or backup. Just a poor move on Bucks part. Im sure Kev will give 9/9 and play as many as they need him too, but NYI in general is better suited to have a backup on their team and Kev is probably better suited elsewhere.

ICExCREAMxTRUCK - $2,500,000
@ICExCREAMxTRUCK - Ice is one of the more underrate Dmen in the league and has been managing with Wags for the last couple szns. He makes the switch to FWD, after almost switching to FWD last szn but Wags didnt want to waste his free contract on ICT at Fwd so he decided to stay on D where he is most valuable and has been successful. He is looking to try his hand at C which he plays quite a bit in club and is pretty good at. He was won by COL for a nice price of 2.5M but was already moved to TBL. He will look to make a name for himself on FWD like he did at D and is on a team that is predicted to do very well, so hes in a good situation to do just that.


iGabout - $2,000,000
@iGabout - sent down to the SYRACUSE

IIVIIcNasty x91 - $500,000
@IIVIIcNasty x91 - McNasty is one of the longest tenured 3rd liners in LGHL history. He has been playing since S17 and has only had over 12 wins 1 time and that was in his first szn of S17 The merger. He is reliable, doesnt complain a lot and will point up a respectable point total usually between 40-50 points while playing on the 3rd with randoms most of the time


Impct GREED - $500,000
@Impct GREED - This guy hasnt played since NHL 18 but when he did he was a beast. He dominated the CHL and the AHL but then disappeared for all of NHL19 and the first szn of NHL20. Will he be able to make the adjustment? The skill gap difference for NHL 19/20 compared to 18 is the LT. Ive seen a couple older FWDs come back who were good on old gen or 16/17/18 and could not adjust to the LT. It will be interesting to see if Impct can and with the couple patches to LT, maybe a guy who uses LB dekes more could actually be more effective.

iTzMagic13 - $500,000
@iTzMagic13 - Magik came up S31 and finished with a .500 record but there were a lot of good things said about his thumb skill, but some bad things about his attitude. He ended up having a terrible szn the following szn on a couple bad teams and fell the the AHL last szn where he had a great szn. He gets bid on by the FLA french team and hopes to have a similar szn to last szn AHL stint and be a steal for FLA

 

@SweetLou9208 I’m surprised anyone remembers me by that name lmao great write up as always.

 

@Hope Legacyy was carried to his impressive AHL numbers <3

 

About Half of this was done with the help of @l Bossy l x 22

 

*Correction, Don was on the other team that swept @Greggy x 74 shitter ass to win a mem cup. Guy did us all a favor so we never had to hear Greggy brag about a Mem Cup and give us more stuff to make fun of him about

 

Me > @Greggy x 74

 

Fritz OGK - $3,750,000
@Fritz OGK - The innovator of offense himself gives FWD another go this szn after complaining about the small LT patch that altered the OP LT+A move to not work as well but still work. He was talking about switching to D bc FWD become so boring and there was no creativity involved but he ended up giving fwd another go. Fritz is one of the more interesting fwds as he tries a lot of stuff other people dont really do and at times it is amazing and other times it hurts him as he would be better suited to just move the puck and/or be better positioned without the puck.


This part of your Fritz assessment is impressively accurate. Only player in the community that still knows how to wall-run. Example (Absolutely disgusting goal, just wish his hockey IQ matched the creativity):

 

good stuff lou! we appreciate you!

 

Great write up @SweetLou9208 ! Insanely detailed! Also i agree the name change was pretty cringey, but im happy with the results

 

szn

 

@El Donn Juan congrats on being on Calgary and Moncton in the same chl season! @Greggy x 74 congrats on the mem kid.

 

ALO MAUL

 

Great write up Lou.
​

 

Yayyyy Lou

 

Love it Lou

 

I was honestly expecting to get roasted for my contract.. I appreciate the time you took to look into my situation, reach out to Rip, etc. Excellent media and from doing the draft recap know how long these things can take. Great stuff.

 

The people that voted no in the poll for this have gamertags A-I...

 

Hopefully I can score this season

 

goonderk - $7,000,000
Fat fucking naturals.

 

someones gotta get us on a line
