FA Game #3 by CP, RR, and IR4

[The Instigator]

Some agent fail this game. I will definitely volunteer myself next game. Letting people know that the player has been counter offered is a must.

I don't see why if the list is conveniently updated. If it's not, I could see what you mean, but when you get 50+ PMs, agents aren't going to respond individually to each.

 

[The Instigator]

I also hope that wasn't directed at me. I had the top offers of top players up in the FA thread for a very fair amount of time before they signed.

 

[TLinden]

Not directed at you CP. Empty your PMs though .

 

[IslesRock4]

My post was directed at you CP.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Currently have an offer on the table for a top UFA winger, but could always go through the trade route if that falls through.

In need of a top-six winger! Send offers if you can spare one.

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

Leafs are looking for a top 6 centre. Will start with a package of Kadri/Colborne + Gunnarsson + Scrivens/Rynnas

This.

As an agent the past 2 games, you get inundated with offers. I have to create spread sheets to keep them in order. You can't expect each PM be replied to individually, it's not a realistic expectation.

To all GM's:

This is clearly my first time being an agent, but not a first time member of these GM Games.

I wish I would have followed the game more clearly so I knew who my clients were.

I apologize for any mistakes I have, and continue, to make.

I am truly sorry,
Mike

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

You better be.

 

[IslesRock4]

At least he apologized in a letter format.

With the lack of a taker for Andy Sutton for a 3rd line center, We will be playing Andy Sutton at 3rd line center. We assume it'll be funny to see him in an offensive role.

 

[BillyShoe1721]

He's not a fan of being on a team that is in the Eastern Conference finals? By having Dwayne Roloson as his back-up? By being in the sunbelt? Right....

He didn't appreciate the lowball offer and wants to be a starter. With Roloson as his backup, he doesn't feel his job is secure. He wants job security. My offers were hardly unreasonable for a guy that was 7th in GAA among NHL starters this year.

 

[TLinden]

Will trade everyone for a bag of pucks, abandon ship.




But really, someone take Drury. please. And Avery.

For your mistake, you must give me 4 good players at league minimum.

It's important because my offer to Brooks Laich was 4 years and $4.5M per. When I saw that term and money on your updated list figured that was my offer. Then I read tonight he signed with Anaheim for 4 years, $4.5M per. Identical. Had I known identical offers were on the table I would have countered, and you would have gotten more money for your client.

I'm fairly sure it said "NHL Playoff Team" beside it. Not "AHL Golfing Group."

 

[The Instigator]

Updated some posts in the FA thread. I'm gonna start signing people off like crazy in an hour, so get your offers in.

Good. I still like you.

As for IR...

The Hurricanes? They barely missed the playoffs...

 

[The Instigator]

The Hurricanes? They barely missed the playoffs...

That doesn't make them a playoff team...

 

[Regina Pat]

Looking for a back-up goalie here, age/salary doesn't really matter. I can't seem to get a reply on my PMs for FAs. Other then that we're done.

Blues Acquire Hedman From Tampa Bay

The St. Louis Blues have acquire defensemen Victor Hedman from the Tampa Bay Lightning today in exchange for TJ Oshie, Roman Polak, and Jaden Schwartz.

Yes, we overpayed, but the pairing of Hedman and Pietrangelo is to scary to pass up.

I'll figure out all the numbers but I think this finalizes my roster.

 

[RandallRitchey]

I'm happy with my team.
