FA Game #3 by TP, RR, and IR

[IslesRock4]

I'm pretty much doing whatever I want. You haven't figured that out by now? And guess what?

waives the Predators.


I just waived my whole team.

BAM!

That just happened.

Well since I never used my #1 waiver claim, claim Weber

 

[Nuckles]

It should also be noted that the Couturier-Kulikov trade was the first and will be the last trade IR and I will ever make.

 

[IslesRock4]

I don't know man, what if I give you a huge offer for Ballard next game?

 

[The Hockey Hitman]

Nice! Weber is a Panther now! We can extend the life of this game yet!

Why would I move Ballard? He might actually do well under Torts. Ballard loves to block shots.



but he will have to be moved for cap purposes

Maybe he'll go in the Jeff Skinner trade everyone is clamouring for?

Not in this game! He went for Marc Staal

So how about you post the Sign up thread and the Roster thread tonight IR so we can get it started ASAP?

Hi, you must be new here. IR likes to take his sweet time.

Thing is that he doesn't have time.

Draft is in 7 days in real life, which means that we have to do the draft in the game Friday night or maybe even earlier. If we wait too long, we will lose interest IMO.

 

[Nuckles]

We could ask Bettman to delay the draft for the sake of the GM game.
Who wants to send the email?

Dear M. Bettman,

Times change.

I don't see it as a problem if the draft is done before we make our draft. Most still have players they prefer and could send a list or draft them live like we do but TP and RR would have a much more accurate list to make the auto selection, the actual draft result.

 

[IslesRock4]

Relax CTG. I'm already being proactive in taking signups. Anyone who would see the sign up thread but not read this thread is probably a GM we don't want in the game. Signups are going well so far, although I fear people will have to send in new lists.

I won't be in if that is the case.

I don't see the point in doing a fantasy game like we are doing when things are already done in real life. It makes things a lot less realistic IMO.

First you are proud of your prospect pool and now you are proactive?

Seriously, what is wrong with you?

[BH4991]

We have completed our roster for the 2013-14 NHL season. With the external additions of Dany Heatley, Derek Roy, and Jaroslav Halak, along with the internal additions of Matt Donovan and Ryan Strome, we believe that our club has the potential to do some damage in the upcoming season. While our salary has skyrocketed, most of our additions will be free agents after this season which will enable us to once again re-evaluate our club.

In summary, we tore it down and drafted some fantastic talent in the 1st and 2nd rounds of the draft with the likes of Anthony Mantha, Samuel Morin, Bo Horvat, Arturri Lehkonen, Steve Santini, JC Lipon, and Eric Roy to our prospect pool, to go along with guys like Brett Connolly and Martin Frk who we acquired through trade.

In terms of forwards, we moved out Blake Wheeler and Andrew Ladd. They performed well as Jets, but we weren't sold on them long term. Cory Conacher has tons of potential, and we are thrilled to have him on board. We also think David Jones just had an off year, and we are thrilled to have wearing a Jets logo. We also added a young centreman in Joe Colborne, and we think adding Scottie Upshall and Mike Santorelli on that line with him will make for great chemistry. We added depth with Torrey Mitchell as a very solid 13th forward. Tim Connolly still has offensive game, and at a 1.5M$ price tag, we felt he was worth it.

Our defence is, obviously, worse than it was going in. However, we have added Ed Jovonovski - we know his injury history is not good, but we're confident he can regain his form and provide solid leadership on a young team. We've also added young defencemen in Brendan Smith and Keith Aulie whose best hockey is in front of them, and Mike Komisarek will be an asset as a bottom pairing guy.

Nikolai Khabibulin is coming home to where it all started, as we are looking at Edward Pasquale as our possible backup next season depending on his performance in the AHL this year.

Overall, we tore it down and re-tooled enough that we think we can be a tough out against any team, though our expectation is that the next few years will be growth and development years more than anything.
