OK, let's do that then. Yevenko's contract will be void and he'll be an FA for the 2nd round (on available FA's) next week.

I am hoping to get my $92,500 back for carrying him for 1 year.

Posted again an hour later? Really want to get that money, huh.

That's weird, how did it get posted twice?

 

[Canuck09]

All official signings including outright UDFA have been processed in the Sim and will be updated online shortly.

Tansey was deemed to be ineligible.

Baltisberger signed a deal to play in Europe next year so is also ineligible.

Yevenko has been removed from the Islanders and will be part of the next wave of offers. Brock was good with his salary being reversed so that is done as well.

Be mindful of your roster limit (80) situation once these updates are done!

 

[Brock]

Just a reminder that 2nd round offers (see the results) are due today.

[Fooladelfia]

THE SCHENNGATE finish lol

 

[Ohio Jones]

Interesting about Moses and Medvedev - no gamblers among us.

Overall those look like pretty reasonable contracts for the most part. I'd say that's evidence that the cap is having an impact on free agent spending...

I would have to agree. Seems like the most reasonable FA year we've had in ... ever?

 

[kasper11]

Is Round 2 open yet, or should we wait on additional offers?

 

[Circulartheory]

Is Round 2 open yet, or should we wait on additional offers?

I think we wait for the lottery first, then Round 2 comes after.

 

[Canuck09]

All signings are now updated. Please check your rosters to confirm.

Hold off on an official announcement for Lotteries and Round 2.

 

[Brock]

I think we wait for the lottery first, then Round 2 comes after.

Correct!

Lottery will be held this Thursday at 9pm EST.

Then I'll open up 2nd round bidding (with a spot) once the lottery is done and teams know where they stand roster limit wise.

 

[Circulartheory]

Doing a live webcam again?

Disgusting

 

[Brock]

Correct!

Lottery will be held this Thursday at 9pm EST.

Then I'll open up 2nd round bidding (with a spot) once the lottery is done and teams know where they stand roster limit wise.

The Lottery scheduled for tonight has been postponed. It is likely to occur early next week.

Once the lottery is finished, I'll post info about the 2nd round of available free agency. Stay tuned for that, so please don't send in offers to agents or myself yet for unsigned players.

Patience is a virtue. It's the offseason after all.

[Ohio Jones]

Well, if I was going to get only two players out of the lottery, I suppose I could have done worse than getting two potential snipers in Ciampini and Jevpavlovs.

 

[Dempsey]

Wow, didn't think I'd land nine guys. Didn't get any of the most sought after players, but I believe goaltender Stephon Williams is a legit good prospect.

I would have really liked to have gotten Ben Betker and was surprised I was only one of two teams involved in his bidding, much like last year when only one other team was in on Viktor Loov (lost that lottery too).

Besides Williams, Brenden Miller and Joseph Blandisi are the next two signings by the Kings that I could see becoming solid prospects, but it's difficult to tell where all these players stand until they start playing some pro games.

 

[Canuck09]

The last batch of UDFA players have been added to rosters. Please review once again to confirm I didn't make any mistakes.
