[IslesRock4]

I appreciate the patience by everyone, thanks for sticking around.

If we do have any inactive teams, we will give them to CTG and Bingo.

You can send in trades. RR should get the trade thread up soon.

 

[TLinden]

Woohoo. Thanks for rounding up the troops IR + all who helped.

Trades are a comin'

 

[Nuckles]

Looking to get younger and also acquire picks/prospects.

Vrbata, Bieksa, Higgins, Hansen, Miller, Markstrom, Vey, Jensen, Dorsett, Sbisa, Stanton, Weber are available.
Hamhuis and Bonino could also be moved for the right offer.

Willing to retain salary on certain guys as well to maximize the return.

 

[IslesRock4]

Looking to shake up the forward group, and interested in trading one or more of Mikko Koivu, Jason Pominville, Thomas Vanek to a contender. Considering their contract situations and ages, we will be very reasonable with expectations for a return. Cap dumps or retained salary are options.

We are looking to acquire a #1 C and add a top 4 RHD. Anyone on the team can be moved outside of Parise, Suter, and Brodin.

 

[NowitzkisBrownNugget]

Interest has picked up in Anze Kopitar.... We're not crazy keen on shipping him out, but we'll entertain offers.

Looking for:
Young top-6 C / Bluechip C prospect
Young top-6 W's
Young top-4 D

OTB:
Mike Richards

Could be discussed:
Dustin Brown
Anze Kopitar
Jake Muzzin
Slava Voynov
Alec Martinez

 

[Peter Griffin]

Biggest need is to get better and younger on the wing. Our main trading pieces are Kris Letang/Olli Maata/Derrick Pouliot as well as Brandon Sutter, Beau Bennett, Scott Harrington, Brian Dumoulin as well as most picks/prospects.

Chris Kunitz/Pascal Dupuis/Rob Scuderi are both available for cheap.

 

[The Instigator]

have made a trade acquiring two defenseman upon the waiving of a NTC.

 

[Dabeast]

Trade block:
Sharp: Looking for a young NHL ready defenseman on his ELC+ (Depending on the player)
Kruger's RFA rights: Looking for a draft pick back.
Bickell: Anyting
Raanta: Draft pick
Any UFA rights are available for very cheap

Sharp is almost gone. Get your offers in.

 

[donut]

Things have cooled down in the Oilers front office. One of Eberle/Yakupov is available.

 

[C-Saku Koivu MTL]

Plekanec, Emelin, Desharnais, Parenteau, Eller, Smith-Pelly, Gilbert, Prust prospect like Tinordi, Scherbak, McCarron, DeLaRose etc and our 1st round pick can all be discussed.

Desharnais, Parenteau and Prust can be dealt for futures but for the rest, we are looking at making hockey deals as we are more in a win now mode than a rebuild.

 

[donut]

Things have cooled down in the Oilers front office. One of Eberle/Yakupov is available.

Any if anyone is interested in something bigger, Leon Draisaitl is someone I'm willing to part ways with in return for a very good defender or top 5 pick in the draft.

Not going to say the 1st overall pick is off the table but it'll require a massive overpayment. Already had one team attempt but no dice.

 

[holden57]

looking to shake up their NHL roster. Our needs are top 9 wingers, a top 4 defenceman and a top 9 centre.


David Krejci may be available for a young top pairing defenceman.

Lucic, Eriksson, Seidenberg, Subban, Kelly and Smith all available.

 

[CaptPantalones]

here all night for talks. Entire roster can be discussed, but vey unlikely I move tarasenko or pietrangelo

Lots of talk on oshie and backes. Both likely to be moved

 

[TLinden]

Skinner deal has fallen through, hooray for trades being accepted and then taken back.

He remains on the block along with Semin, and Ward!

 

[stempniaksen]

Around until about 8PM EST. Lots of ongoing talks so far.

Available: Shane Doan, Martin Hanzal, Lauri Korpikoski, Sam Gagner, Joe Vitale, Kyle Chipchura, Mark Arcobello, Tye McGinn, Greg Carey

Shane Doan would only waive for a contender, so don't inquire unless you're one of the top teams in your conference.

Martin Hanzal will be the most expensive piece, going rate is a 1st/2nd RP + Good Prospect. I'm anticipating the price will get even higher, so get your offers in now.

Willing to take on cap dumps if sweetners are attached.

 

[CupWanted]

Here looking for a top pairing defensemen maybe looking for a goaltender too. Everyone except Seguin and Benn is open to discussion.

Our first round pick and prospects are available for trade.
Also one of Nemeth or Oleksiak will be moved. We don't have enough jobs for both of them.

 

[TLinden]

Taking over the GM reigns of Carolina, we felt that there were some major assets in Elias Lindholm, Jeff Skinner Haydn Fleury, 5th OVR, and Justin Faulk. Beyond this, we lacked the high quality veteran assets we would have liked to move for our rebuilding phase. We knew Justin Faulk has quickly made a name for himself around the league as a #1 defenseman and Norris trophy candidate in the coming years, and to replenish the rest of the prospect cupboard, we may need to look at moving him.

Along with Eric Staal and Anton Khudobin, we have put together what we believe is a ground-breaking trade in Raleigh, with a TON of assets coming into the Hurricanes organization to replace the void these 3 great players are leaving.

John Gibson
Sami Vatanen
Nick Ritchie
Shea Theodore
Emerson Etem
Rickard Rakell
Ondrej Kase
ANA 1st 2015
ANA 1st 2016
Clayton Stoner


Eric Staal (25% retention)
Justin Faulk
Anton Khudobin​

We are ecstatic to bring practically Anaheim's entire prospect list to Carolina, including Sami Vatanen, who we feel will thrive in our system, along with John Gibson, our goaltender of the future, and the rest of the gang. A lot of player movement going on.

 

[Dabeast]

Holy ****

 

[Peter Griffin]

What a ridiculous trade....

 

[stempniaksen]

Eesh. Yuck. Stupid.

 

[IslesRock4]

Haven't seen a trade like that since the deal that was like 3/4 of the Coyotes roster for Tavares. I think it was the Coyotes at least.

 

[TLinden]

To be fair, Justin Faulk is probably the most underrated defenseman in the entire league. He would push Anaheim's defense over the top.

Furthermore, Soundwave is just doing what IR usually does every game (trade his entire prospect list) except in one big trade. Actually looking at GM Game 1, a ton of GMs gutted their entire prospect list. This is no different.

 

[holden57]

What a ridiculous way to start this game

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Making multiple trades is hard work, one trade where I use everything is much easier.

Staal-Getzlaf-Perry has the potential to be the most dominant line in hockey, especially if they all care around the same time. Lindholm-Faulk has all the makings to be an absolutely dominant pairing.

Also, now I don't have to make any more trades
