Donut's GM Game v.16.4 - Discussion Thread

[VanIslander]

Sabres re-sign their own crash and banger

6'3 left winger Marcus Foligno gets 20 points and 200 hits with limited ice time (13 minutes a game) and is a valuable, hard-working role player for a young star-studded squad.
At age 24, the 4-year NHL pro Bottom-6 winger will easily be the oldest skater on the team and a leader by example in heart, effort and sacrifice on a rebuilding squad geared
to develop its young superstars by surrounding them with enough pieces to compete every night and create a positive culture and winning atmosphere right from the get go.

He's still on my team...

Did you claim him when I waived him? (I missed that.)

Yes.

 

[VanIslander]

Yes.

Trade offer coming. Check your PMs.

 

[VanIslander]

TRADE DEAL

1st round pick (2016)

LatvianTwist to confirm.

I didn't agree to retain 50%, but sure

It was in my offer. But with all my yapping you might have missed it. My team is a rebuilder but it's pushing the cap ceiling now and has had to be salary conscious for a couple of days now.

Thanks for the easy negotiating.

The 1st round pick is valuable, but the Sabres have a game plan that's not so long term: Build the best possible team around its stars Eichel, Reinhart, Ristolainen to develop them and the squad into contenders not now, not next year but in years 3-5. Keeping Girgensons, McCabe and Foligno makes perfect sense in that rebuild.

 

[LT]

Looking to package Honka, Guryanov, Janmark, Faksa, 1st, etc. for a high-end winger.

 

[Dabest]

So whats next?

 

[donut]

So whats next?

FAs are still slowly signing, chill buddy

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

you should feel bad

He really should.

 

[Addison Rae]

i know that stralman is good you idiots i just didn't have the cap to keep him over better players

 

[VanIslander]

Indeed.

No one has claimed him.

It will be very interesting if he clears waivers and becomes a FA in this game. 1.0? 1.5?

 

[VanIslander]

Speaking of great values...

Derick Brassard - $1.000M --- Signs with STL
Nick Foligno - $0.900M --- Signs with PIT
Sergei Bobrovsky - $1.750M --- Signs with DAL
Nikita Zadorov - $1.000M --- Signs with TOR
Rickard Rickell - $1.250M --- Signs with SJS
Jake Virtanen - $0.900M --- Signs with PHI

 

[LT]

[VanIslander]

 

[VanIslander]

^^^ A dramatic overreaction, since I ain't responding to my team's prospects, but to my personal expectations of what this draft would show next (ugh, my 2nd oversight of LT's posts).

 

[Tryamkin]

Speaking of great values...

How about Carey Price for 1.25M, or Sami Vatanen for 1M..

 

[donut]

All players, except Keith Yandle, has signed. He will sign at midnight PST to the highest bidder. Current offer standing at $6.750M.

Price is lame (literally,.. he's pretty hurt).

Vatanen turns 25 soon but is coming off of an illness soon. K.

 

[donut]

All current FA offers have now been announced. Deadline to sign any player is 12PM PST tomorrow. After that, I will allow for teams to finalize their rosters and get everything set. I'll explain voting tomorrow -- I'll start accepting them tomorrow night.

Game is close to finish, let's finish this thing strong!

Why exactly did Yandle sign with PIT when I was the one who bid 6.75M???
