• 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.

[Nuckles]

Not even IR wants to GM the Islanders.




On the Block:
Ryan Kesler
Kevin Bieksa
Alex Edler (if you give a lowball offer I wont bother replying, I still value him highly)
Jannik Hansen
Jacob Markstrom
Shawn Matthias
Brad Richardson
6th overall pick
Jordan Schroeder

Looking for:
Young NHL players
Quality prospects
High draft picks/moving up from 6th overall
Gritty bottom 6 forward

 

[IslesRock4]

We are looking to retool and shake up the core of the team. Looking for young NHL ready talent, blah blah blah.

On The Block
Joe Thornton (NMC)
Patrick Marleau (NMC)
Joe Pavelski (LNTC)
Martin Havlat (NMC)
Tyler Kennedy
Raffi Torres (LNTC)
Adam Burish
Brad Stuart (LNTC)
Jason Demers
Matt Irwin
James Sheppard
Andrew Desjardins
Antti Niemi

Unlikely to be moved, but not necessarily untouchable: Logan Couture, M.E. Vlasic, Brent Burns, Tomas Hertl, Matt Nieto, Tommy Wingels, Justin Braun, Mirco Mueller, picks and prospects

That's everyone. So, I'm open to anything.

 

[holden57]

We call first dibs on ripping off the rookie GM's...

Brodziak, Cooke, Zucker, Harding, Backstrom, draft picks, non-NHL prospects (Dumba, Phillips, etc...) all available. Looking for a number one goalie, top 6 winger and top 4 d-man.

 

[Haligonian]

Possible to be moved: Derek Stepan/Brad Richards (NMC), Cam Talbot, Anton Stralman, Marc Staal, some prospects/draft picks.

 

[Habsfannick]

not really sure what were doing at this point. We'd like to make a few changes to our offense and add a solid defensive Dman. We are looking to stay competitive and build around our young star players. Open to anything (except moving Subban or Price). Gallagher, Galchenyuk, Beaulieu and Tinordi will most likely not be moved and Pacioretty can be had in either a 1 for 1 swap or in a package (very unlikely he is moved for a package unless I really like the pieces)

OTB
Emelin: We have a plethora of LHD man and feel Alexei is the odd man out, hes a solid 2nd pairing D with a physical edge.

Plekanec: We wouldn't mind keeping him but if he can net us a solid return we could let him go.

Moen/Prust We'd like to move one of the 2, they are great character 4th liners but with the emergence of Weise and Bournival we feel 1 of them is expendable.

Budaj Tokarski will learn a lot from a whole season of being Price's backup, Budaj is a great backup for a team in need of some stability behind their starter.

Briere He has performed well in the playoffs for us but we need to make room for our youngsters.

Needs
Young/Prime aged top 6 wingers

Good close to NHL ready forward prospects

Solid 2nd pairing Defensive Dman (preferably a RHD)

 

[Peter Griffin]

On the block

Evgeni Malkin- Very unlikely he is dealt given his NMC but will listen to offers. Minimum offer must include a top 6 center and a goal scoring winger, both players being 30 years old or younger.
Kris Letang
James Neal
Marc-Andre Fleury
Paul Martin
Brandon Sutter
Rob Scuderi
Pascal Dupuis
picks/prospects

Needs

#1 goalie or young, potential starter
Top 6 wingers

 

[stempniaksen]

Shopping: Chris Stewart, Drew Stafford, Ville Leino, Mike Weber
Available: Christian Erhoff, Tyler Myers, Mikael Grigorenko, Cory Conacher
Untouchable: Nobody, but come heavy if you're going for Risto or the 2nd overall pick

 

[TLinden]

YAY!



On The Block
Thomas Fleischmann
1st OVR
32nd OVR
Drew Shore
Quinten Howden
Dmitri Kulikov
Rocco Grimaldi
Alex Petrovic
Colby Robak
Tomas Kopecky
Sean Bergenheim
Scottie Upshall

We want some prime-age/veteran Top 6 wingers, and a Top 3 blueliner. Let's do this!

 

[Soli]

How's Free Agency going to be handled?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Nice to see the league finally get off the ground!

Now, to post a deal that was finalized a few days ago.


Cody Franson
James Reimer
Jerry D'Amigo


Alex Chiasson
Philip Desrosiers

Dallas bolsters their blueline with a heavy hitter in Franson, and also adds a reliable backup goalie who will replace the departing Tim Thomas.

Tough to move Chiasson, but with Brett Ritchie ready to make the jump, we feel he will slot right in and make an immediate impact on this Stars team. We wish Alex all the best in Toronto, in hopes that he finds his offensive game once again.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

ON THE TRADE BLOCK :
Phil Kessel (LNTC until July 1st, modified NTC/NMC after)
Dion Phaneuf (LNTC starting July 1st : 12 teams trade list)
Nazem Kadri
Joffrey Lupul (LNTC : 14 teams trade list)
David Clarkson (Modified NTC/NMC)

COULD BE AVAILABLE :
Tyler Bozak (Modified NTC)
Carl Gunnarsson
Jake Gardiner
Other players (except the guys I'm not looking to trade)

NOT LOOKING TO TRADE :
JVR
Jonathan Bernier
Morgan Rielly
Recently acquired players

*** We are NOT rebuilding. Of course, you can see that we want to make major changes but we are not interested in picks and prospects as centerpiece for our top players available. We want young NHL players to build a new core along with JVR, Bernier and Rielly. ***

 

[Dr Pepper]

Oh, and I almost forgot, trade #2....


Louis Leblanc


Scott Glennie

Minor dealio, with two underwhelming prospects seeking a fresh start.

 

[Habsfannick]

Oh, and I almost forgot, trade #2....


Louis Leblanc


Scott Glennie

Minor dealio, with two underwhelming prospects seeking a fresh start.

confirm Leblanc has failed expectations miserably for us and in Glennie we hope to salvage a solid hockey player that can be a long standing supporting cast member for our team.

Trading Block

Evander Kane (Willing to move if the deal is right)
Bryan Little
Tobias Enstrom
Grant Clitsome

Team Needs

Top 6 C
Top 4 Defensemen
Starting Goalie

 

[donghabs98]

The Winnipeg Jets will use their compliance buyout on goaltender Ondrej Pavelec

 

[TLinden]

Trade talks for 1st overall pick in the draft are heating up. Don't bring a package of future assets. We want to compete NOW.

 

[glasgow26]

Currently fielding offers on Jason Spezza, Chris Phillips and Craig Anderson. Each player has generated some interest around the league.

We're looking to re-tool, not rebuild. This means that we're not particularly interested in picks or prospects (unless the pick is a first-rounder). We are willing to move any of our picks and prospects in order to bring in a legitimate top-six forward and a solid top-four defenseman.

 

[Nuckles]

waive David Booth with the intention of using a compliance buyout.

 

[IslesRock4]

How's Free Agency going to be handled?

Temper your expectations. I'm surprised we actually got this started.

 

[Avs44]

Both Jordan and Eric Staal are still very much available but it appears to be increasingly likely both will stay, particularly in the case of Jordan. I want high end future pieces/young players in return for Eric, I have zero interest in second round picks, very late 1sts and B level prospects. Salary can be retained on any player but that will be reflected in the return.


Actively looking to move Cam Ward.

 

[Nuckles]

I remember when you had to injure a few people to get a chance to join these games.

God damn kids these days don't appreciate the value of a good GM game. *Shakes Fist*

 

[Peter Griffin]

Actively shopping Kris Letang for a young(27 and under), top 6 forward. Marc-Andre Fleury is also available for any team looking for a capable #1 goaltender without having to commit to a lenghty contract.

 

[TLinden]

Anyone active for trade talks? Taking a break from studying.
