OFFICIAL: 2011 HFNHL Free Agent Results - *** COMPLETE ***

[The old geezer]

This is a problem of nomenclature, I believe - and one we seem to run into almost every year. I think Matthew's comment was referring to "Part 2" of the bidding on both signed and UDFA players who received bids in Round 1, as opposed to "Round 2" of free agency, which is bids on players who did not receive any bids in Round 1.

Partly true but in this case it was context.

On page 3 Rich asked "Are bids on unsigned players due on Saturday along with the second round bids, or are those going to be handled separately?"

Quoting this Matt answered "We're gonna handle them all together. The deadline is going to change - everyone will get an extension to Monday most likely."

Hence the minor mix-up.

EDIT: Oops, didn't see Rich has already pointed to these too.

 

[Hossa]

Are you sure? I looked at your roster and it does look suspiciously like the Canucks roster

Ya except the HFNHL Canucks team could finish the deal and take home the trophy.

(Too soon?)

Glad we could get all the inconsistencies cleared up. Great job Matt and others. This offseason has had only minor hickups and is still one of the "cleanest" we've had in some time it seems. Cheers.

Part of it was that I didn't read Rich's question right - I thought he was asking about the players which needed additional bidding which weren't yet posted at that time -

Thanks Josh. Jon did all the leg work on this - he should be commended for a fine job. And let's not forget our agents and Jeff who also prepped all of this.

I've updated the main list now so it should be correct as of this moment.

The Penguins are pleased to announce that the offer to Cory Schneider has been matched.

 

[Ohio Jones]

Is that word used euphemistically, Robb?

He sounds very excited to say its matched lol

given the choice and lack of real interest by DAL to pay the price expected to trade for the asset, the Penguis are pleased to have the option to keep the player.

whatever, i would fire myself for not autosigning him to begin with, but it feels better to blame DAL GM instead.

Now that that chunk of cap room is tied up for the Pens, and given I'm pretty much out of the bidding for a top 6 UFA forward, I can revisit whether I want to send an RFA offer sheet for Raymond when the next round of bidding opens up. The chips are falling into place as planned

 

[MatthewFlames]

Some new signings - Tanner House and Denis Endras have signed contracts (reflected on the front page) - Just a few hours till the deadline peeps.

EDIT: Tarkki as well....

go ahead, i have lots of cap space. if you want him though, would prefer you come calling with a trade offer instead of overpaying in RFA.

 

[Dryden]

So we are just bidding on the 2nd bids. Nothing new?

 

[Ohio Jones]

Correct.

 

[HFNHL Canadiens]

Just a bit of a correction on the Redmond signing. It should be 2 years, not 3. Thanks!

 

[MatthewFlames]

Jokinen gets 8 million a year. Nothing to see here. (but check out the first post for the complete 2nd PHASE of round 1)

Details on ROUND TWO to follow

What moron signed that overpriced bum to a max contract???? Oh, wait...ummm...I mean what a shrewd move....


in all seriousness, I got shut out of every other UFA, needed to overpay, so I decided to go big in order to get him to take a 1 year deal. Stupid maybe, but it won't hurt me long term at least.

 

[Dryden]

and i thought my bid that was the highest previously for Jokinen was over paying

 

[Ohio Jones]

Don't worry - it was.

Makes me feel a little better about dropping $1,425,000 on Tanner House. Both are good examples of the craziness of HFNHL free agency.

 

[HFNHLOilers]

Makes me feel better about dropping 3.5mill on Schneider

Teemu Selanne 4 x 8,000,000 TBL - Signs Tampa Bays 2nd Bid

Did Selanne auto sign with Tampa because they offered 4 years x 8m versus my 2 years x 8m?

He's not going to play until he's 45!

I'm not too choked because I got Salo instead, but it does seem silly to me if that is the case.

Edit: But I shouldn't complain, everyone involved did a great job of doing the free agency process in a timely manner and I'm very appreciative of that. And I am very happy to have Sami Salo join the Kings.

 

[MatthewFlames]

He's not going to play until he's 45!

Yes. Thing is we can't assume really when he's going to retire. A 4 year deal at his age is preferable to a shorter term deal in case he does continue to play, however unlikely that is in reality.

I'd hate to see the final offers for the UDFA's under 25 if we didn't have the 900k cap I think it's fair to say the 900k cap rule is to protect ourselves from ourselves.

Yep - thank God!

Agreed. Without it we'd have more idiots like me signing unproven guys to contracts like this:
Iiro Tarkki 4 x 1,700,000 DET
