[Tampa GM]

Scott Gomez 7,5m x 4y SJ

I thought my offer for 7.2 over the next four years would be enough but I guess not Gomez would have been perfect to my top 6 now I will have to go out and look for a replacement. Congracts Pasi, Scott will score alot of points for you.

Sedin-Demitra-Ryan, Franzén-Nylander-Fedotenko will be Tampas top 6 for this upcoming season, will this be enough for the playoffs? I have no clue.

 

[PasiK]

i didnt take a risk .. 7.5mil is 1mil too much, but i was sure that is enough

Hope scott gomez will be hot in nhl habs.

Elias-gomez-langenbrunner will be sharks top line next season.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

David Leneveu just went to Europe....can I just release him now, or do I have to wait til next year?

 

[Brock]

Damn, too bad JR just retired. He would have looked good centering my 4th line with Torres and Clutterbuck.

 

[Hossa]

So close, yet so far on Mayers and Asham. Guess the grit will come at the deadline.

He, along with PJ Axelson who I also think signed in Europe, will be move to their new teams and then moved to the prospects list. From there you can release them - there will also be a further opportunity to do so later before the season starts.

Thank you Ville for all your hard work in this!

I needed them badly. My forwards aren't the heartiest. Just wish I could have grabbed Adams, too. I'm still 1 bottom pairing forward short of where I want to be.

*THAT'S* why you haven't been winning -- you've only been playing two guys on each forward line!

now, you see, that's just mean

I needed them badly too, but until I see how the ratings come down, couldn't afford to go higher than I did. You outbid me by 100k on each player, but even my offers were risky given where my cap situation stands right now

My forwards are stronger than they are tough though. Guys like Staal, Malkin, Stafford and Laich all bring size but not IT ratings, but I've been operating under the philosophy that defensive ability trumps grit on the bottom two lines.

Oh well, another year, another IT-deficient team. At least the Flames remain in my division.

That's it. I'm signing Steve Downie off my prospects list.

 

[Wildman]

NYI will match Kopecky RFA offer

 

[Ohio Jones]

now, you see, that's just mean

Just trying to energize the expansion rivalry

 

[TorontoGM]

Toronto Matches offer on Dave Steckel

 

[HFNHL Commish]

That's it. I'm signing Steve Downie off my prospects list.

I have plenty of able-bodied penalty-killers for all of those five minute majors you'll be racking up, then.

 

[Dempsey]

LA was only in the running for one player, which was Jeff Finger, and didn't want to increase the offer.

 

[Ville Isopaa]

I think I have 16 NHL forwards at the moment, so I will probably have a bottom 6 forward or two available as soon as the ratings are out and I know who to keep and who to move.

 

[SPG]

The Rangers would like to match Carolina's offer to Derek Meech.

 

[Hossa]

Is there going to be a second round of free agency, or can offers to players who remain unsigned simply be sent in now on a first come, first serve basis?

Give us a day to catch our breath and re-group and make sure all the free agency so far is correct. From there expect an announcement on a second phase of free agency.

Thanks

[Chuzwazza]

Sabres match the offer for Gordon and also there were numerous other bids i placed...noting that I was looking for 2 D-men. so why have I only signed one in that case with about 8 of the guys I wanted still available?

 

[Dryden]

Shouldn't there be some sort of time restriction on how long a team has to matching offers. A GM could come back a month from now and say I couldn't get on the net but I match this guy. Just saying. Thats all folks. Back to beer drinking I go
