• Post in this thread if you’d like to place a player on waivers.
• Each team has the option of sending ONE player on a 1-way contract to the minors or Europe due to cap reasons.

[/fieldset]

[fieldset=""]Trades

• All trades must be sent to IslesRock4 and RR or else they are not valid.
• Once a trade is agreed upon, send it in BEFORE POSTING, and then you can announce it in the thread. A deal without a NTC or NMC does not have to be approved.
• 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.

• ChuckytoGally will be the agent for East RFAs.
• Backstrom #19 will be the agent for West RFAs.

Available assets- 15th overall pick, Matt Moulson, Nino Niederreiter, picks/prospects(not likely to move Strome/Reinhart but willing to listen to offers).
Unavailable-John Tavares, Frans Nielsen, Travis Hamonic, Lubo Visnovsky

 

[Addison Rae]

looking to move Burns for a top 6 LW'.

 

[holden57]

Keith Yandle available for a #1 center. We're also searching for a starting goalie.

 

[IslesRock4]

We need a top pairing RH defenseman, a #2C, and a top 6 LW.

Available
Bobby Ryan (ONLY for an elite defenseman/center)
Jonas Hiller
Viktor Fasth
John Gibson
Emerson Etem
Hampus Lindholm (maybe)
Luca Sbisa
Kyle Palmieri
Peter Holland
Nick Bonino

Devante Smith-Pelley
Andrew Cogliano
ANA 1st '13
NYI 2nd '13

Really, anyone can be dealt except for Getzlaf, Perry, Beauchemin, and Fowler. Only dealing one of the three goalies. Looking to do some typical IR moves in this one.

 

[drnaud81]

Looking for: #1C, Top 6 RW, 3rd line winger with grit/scoring touch, LH top 4 d-man. We're looking to improve the team all around and hopefully be contenders.

Trade block: Burmistrov, Jokinen, Byfuglien, Postma, picks & prospects

Untouchables: Ladd, Kane, Wheeler, Scheifele, Trouba

 

[Soli]

Had some inquires about the 5th OV pick. Looking for a young roster player, varying degree depending on how far I move down. Would outright trade it for the right player.

The rumors are true, I'd like to unload Semin on you.

Everyone on my defense core could be had outside of Faulk.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

LAND BACKSTROM

The Nashville Predators have traded forward Colin Wilson and their 2013 first round pick to the Washington Capitals for forward Nicklas Backstrom.

Comments to come tomorrow.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

UPDATE

Jonathan Blum or Ryan Ellis are officially available for a young top 6 winger (would like someone around 25-27 but must be under 30 years old). We are ready to add depending of the player we are talking about.

Sergei Kostitsyn is on the trade block for a top 4 defenseman or futures. Other assets can be involved depending of the trade.

Bobby Butler will go for cheap.

We are also listening to other offers but we made a statement with the acquisition of Nicklas Backstrom from Washington : we aren't rebuilding.

PM!

EDIT : Meant winger and not center for Blum or Ellis.

 

[Backstrom #19]

I'll be handling the negotiations for Daniel Alfredsson, Milan Hejduk, Patrick Elias and Teemu Selanne. There's no reason for these players to wait till free agency to sign. It's well known it's retirement or resigning with their respective clubs for these four players.

Not sure that Elias belong to that category, at least not 100% like the others.

 

[BillyShoe1721]

Need: top pairing defenseman
Untouchable: Giroux, Voracek, Timonen, L. Schenn

Couturier, Schenn, Simmonds, Hartnell, and everyone else is available depending upon the player. We are actively shopping Daniel Briere, Andrej Meszaros, Max Talbot, and Ilya Bryzgalov for the best prospects/picks available.

 

[Carlzner]

Terrible trade for Washington

 

[Peter Griffin]

Terrible trade for Washington

Value-wise it's probably not too bad, top 4 pick and Wilson is pretty solid. But I can't see Washington moving Backstrom.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

That's actually not horrible for Washington. Barkov and Wilson are pretty damn fine pieces. Backtrom is a fantastic player, but he has not come through in the playoffs for the Caps.

 

[IslesRock4]

Hot horrible.

 

[Addison Rae]

Agreed with PG and BB. Not that bad for the Caps, Wilson is very, very good.

 

[Carlzner]

I actually forgot the 1st rounder was 4th overall. Not nearly as bad as I initially thought.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Hot horrible.

lirl

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Probably should have gotten a solid prospect back, too, but the core pieces are there at least.

It's far from the Luongo trade from game one. lirl.

Get out of here with your mod inside jokes.

What about Vinny Prospal? He should be on that list.

 

[Backstrom #19]

Just waiting on New York Rangers to post their roster in the roster thread and Colorado, Detroit and Buffalo to update their post to include their roster and we have everybody over there.

I'm going to be checking up on all the GM's at various stages of the game. Making sure you stay active all game long. We will replace you if you're inactive and if you don't respond to the roll call PM.

Would love to have a game of full GM participation.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

Available pieces are:

- Sam Gagner
- Shawn Horcoff
- MPS
- Nick Schultz
- Eric Belanger

Really, we're willing to discuss most anyone depending on what we want. And what we want is...

- Top pairing defenceman
- Top 4 defenceman
- 1A/1B Goaltender
- Prospects/Picks

 

[ECWHSWI]
