ONE Player you've never got

[JiriHrdina]

Similar to Dave's thread...

Who's the one player or players you've always strived to get but never been able to get your grubby little hands on.

For me its Simon Gagne.

I thought I was close a couple of times but he slipped through my fingers. I also had a weird obsession with Nik Zherdev for a while but that has passed.

More than one coveted player in Chicago

Marian Hossa
Dany Heatley
Dan Hamhuis and that damn boat

[flambers]

Below is a few,

Marian Hossa
Dany Heatley
Havlat

[MJK]

Marty Brodeur, though it isnt for a lack of trying!

[Goffie]

For me:
Nash
Broduer
Gaborik
Luongo

[Hanna Sniper]

Brendan Shanahan
Jason Spezza
Offensive Defenceman

[Sylvanfan]

Scott Niedermeyer
Vaclav Prospal

Man did I send Looob some beauty offers and he would never, never bite. I seriously tried, but no dice, and this was when Niedermeyer was like a 78 OV player. And when I say I'm overpaying, I'm overpaying big time.

Brad Richards was a guy I wanted awhile back but never got. Now im not really sure as most the guys I really want now I had at some point.

[Preds GM - CPHL]

ive been after joe thornton recently but Tim doesnt want to move him, id asked for him when he was with the Caps aswe ll, the price than was too high for me.

another guy ive been after the olli jokinen, followed him from jackets to panthers to hawks to bolts to flyers, no luck yet.

the guy i wanted and did get him is alexander frolov, wanted him when i enetered the league, didnt get them than but got him recently

[Prototype]

Pretty much every top end guy other than those on my current roster.

Wish I could sign Wayne Gretzky as a player. With the 2nd pick, hard to take Wayne over everyone else.

[Mango]

Not sure about this one...I've grabbed my superficial favorites: Nilson and Hulse. Although if I was making a new list of who I'd want based on purely superficial reasons Lundqvist would be at the top of my list.

Skill-wise, Hossa and Smyth.

All I know is Grant is obsessed with Paul Kariya, but I won't trade him because my goal is to acquire all the Asians in the league!!

[JiriHrdina]

Frickin' noob.

GIVE ME BACK KARIYA!

[Radically Red]

Heatly, Hossa, Kovolchuck, Brad Richards.

failed every time I have tried to get one of them.


Man i have been named twice now for guys that folks want but cant get.

Anyone can be had afte all I moved Turco someone I had no plans on moving... some just cost more..

Off the top of my head, there's Richard Park, Chris Beckford-Tseu, Brandon Yip (who I've played pick up with!! )... probably more once I do some digging!
