[fieldset=""]Trades

• All trades must be sent to IslesRock4 and RR or else they are not valid.

• If a trade is announced prior to it being sent in, it will be vetoed.
• ALL MOVES MUST BE SOMEWHAT REALISTIC. The commissioners hold the power to veto any ridiculous trades.
• A trade involving a NTC or NMC must be sent in by BOTH GMs with a reasoning for the player to waive. The trade must be approved by BOTH trade managers prior to posting. Keep in mind it will only be on a rare occasion that a NTC or NMC is waived.
• If a trade involving a NTC or NMC is announced before approval, it will be vetoed.
• If a team does not have enough cap space to complete a trade that has been sent in, the trade will be vetoed.
• Vetoed deals will require a significant re-work in order for them to be accepted.
• If a player waives his NTC or NMC, the NTC or NMC is still valid with their new team.

[IslesRock4]

Unless there are huge objections, teams will not be allowed to re-sign UFAs. These games are shorter than the GM games and obviously have a huge emphasis on FA. With the market as weak as it already is, I think it will be better if everyone hits the open market.

 

[IslesRock4]

We're just going to have a couple days before the draft. TP and RR will determine when that is.

How does the organizer(s) of the game feel about posting trade rumors?

 

[Nuckles]

How does the organizer(s) of the game feel about posting trade rumors?

You can say something like "There are rumors that [insert player name] is on the move to an Eastern Conference team", just don't be specific with team names.

 

[ECWHSWI]

How does the organizer(s) of the game feel about posting trade rumors?

as a GM, I dont mind the "player X is about to be traded" or "offers for player X are heating up" stuff... rumors ? not really since they arent really rumors, they're posted by the GM who made/received the actual offer.

 

[The Hockey Hitman]

Lightning will move one of Ted Purcell or Brett Connolly, but not both. Accepting serious offers.

We have a trade to announce!

[Soli]

We have a trade to announce!

Linus Omark

Corban Knight

Confirm.

Omark has a solid offensive season and kept pace with Damien Brunner and Henrik Zetterberg on the same line during the Lockout. He wanted another chance at the NHL with another organization and we accommodated his request.

Corban Knight is an Alberta native that plays an uptempo abrasive game. He finished up his collegiate career with UND and will report to the Oklahoma City Barons of the AHL.

Alright, here we go!

COYOTES ACQUIRE HALAK

The Phoenix Coyotes have acquired starting goaltender Jaroslav Halak earlier today from the St-Louis Blues. In return, David Rundblad was sent to St-Louis. With this news, it is fair to assume Mike Smith won't be back next year in the desert.

"We're pretty excited to add Halak to our team. He's shown he can put great numbers in the past and we think he'll be just great in our defensive system here in Phoenix." said the GM. "It is sad to loose a top end prospect on the back-end in Rundblad, but we feel with all the talent we have, we could loose 1-2 prospects to cover some more pressing needs".

With this declaration, rumors started floating and the word on the street in Phoenix is that Maxim Goncharov could be the next to go. Stay tuned...

​

 

[IslesRock4]

After doing some thinking, we most likely will not go the trade route for a goaltender.

Available
Matt Moulson
Nino Niederreiter
15th overall pick
Calvin de Haan
Thomas Hickey
David Ullstrom
Kevin Poulin
Anders Nilsson

Marcus Johansson
Jason Chimera
Almost Any Bubble Players

 

[TLinden]

Luongo has been moved. Post to come shortly.

Team is going for a major core overhaul. Not a rebuild, targeting early/mid 20s core players already in the NHL. We'll definitely listen to some high prospects and picks as well.

Kesler, Burrows and Edler are attracting a ton of interest. 5+ offers for each from teams all over the league.

Sedins are on the block, but the deal will need to be enticing for both us and them for it to be considered. We've had several teams inquire, but we're not looking for a quantity based deal with 5+ players/prospects, we just want high quality players in return, even if it's just one or two.

Booth and Ballard are on the block and can go for cheap.

Check our roster thread for the rest of the tradeable players (BIEKSA!)

FLA 1st 2013
Drew Shore
Marcel Goc



Luongo
VAN 1st 2013
Jordan Schroeder
Rights to UFA Derek Roy

We're thrilled to land the 2nd OVR pick in a deep draft, as well as great 3rd line C and a prospect who showed he was NHL ready last season in Drew Shore. We wish Lu and Schroeder the best of luck in Florida, and a big **** you to Derek Roy.

 

[The Instigator]

I will also listen to offers on Nicklas Backstrom.

 

[Cal Vandelay]

listening to offers on Johan Franzen though unlikely to be moved.

Florida confirms. While it may boggle some people that we wanted Luongo, he gets the starting job in a market with very little pressure. We welcome the forward play that both Schroeder and Roy (Who we will aggressively go after in FA) bring.

 

[Peter Griffin]

On the block

Dustin Byfuglien- Would move him in a deal that includes a legit top 6 forward, C/RW.
Evander Kane- Not looking to move him, but open to offers. Biggest need would be a top 6 center with size.
Ondrej Pavelec- Only if another goalie is acquired in another trade.
Alex Burmistrov

Needs

Top 6 forwards(center and RW)
#1 goalie

 

[ECWHSWI]

for teams who havent used them last season, do we still have the amnesty buyouts ?
