FA Game #3 by Wolfy, AM, & IR

[Dichow Stopper]

UPDATE

We might look at the option of moving Jakub Voracek or Wayne Simmonds (modified NTC) if we can get a top pairing RHD. Other pieces can be added and we are not looking to get older in the trade.

Nicklas Grossmann is still available for a pick or a prospect.

[Joel Ward]

I need a little bit of everything sadly...

I'm in the same position unfortunately.

 

[The Produce Man]

Andrew Ladd (40% retention) ANA 2nd 2014, Connor Hellebuyck

Sami Vatanen, Devante Smith-Pelley, Luca Sbisa

That Bryan Little guy wouldn't shut up about acquiring his friend Andrew Ladd. Something about them being the ideal linemates, yadda yadda. So why the hell not.

Moving Smith-Pelley and Vatanen was difficult, but one of the league's premier LWs at 2.65M per season, along with a 2nd round and a valuable goalie prospect was a great return for this Anaheim team as we push for the cup in 2014-15.

Confirm.

It was an extremely difficult decision to move our captain, Andrew Ladd. But it's time to usher in a new era in Winnipeg. With our extra 1st, and John Gibson, we felt ok about moving our 2nd, and clearing a spot in our crowded young crease.

We are very happy with the package of players we received. We are very high on Devante Smith-Pelley, he had size, good hands, and has shown the ability to be a difference maker. Sami Vatanen adds another potent offensive threat to our line up. While the Oiler fans were rejoicing with the signing of Justin Schultz, Duck fans knew they had a comparable, if not potentially better OFD in Vatanen waiting. Very excited to add him to our line up. Luca Sbisa is still a very young guy. He has all the tools to be a very good NHL defender with shut down capabilities. He's still a work in progress but he's another guy we are very happy to add to our young core.

 

[The Produce Man]

Also, beyond stoked to add Nikolaj Ehlers and Dylan Larkin in the 1st round.

I need to spend about 15m just to reach the floor :-p

Carolina is happy to add some depth in the goaltending pool.

 

[donghabs98]

The Carolina Hurricanes have resigned the following RFAs

Loktionov, Andrei-2yr 1.5Mper
Bowman, Drayson- 2yr 1.1Mper
Gerbe, Nathan- 2yr 2Mper

 

[C-Saku Koivu MTL]

Will listen to offer for Brandon Prust before the market opens. Make offers if you have interest.

 

[Habsfannick]

waive Umberger with the intention of using a compliance buyout on him. He is a good player but overpaid and we have had no decent offers on him.

Confirmed. Have Makarov and Lieuwen in the A next year, with Ullmark coming over in 2015-16...someone had to go.

Jamie McBain is available for a pick/prospect/similar D-man. RHD that played Top 4 mins in Buffalo last year, he is a qualified RFA

Torrey Mitchell and Brian Flynn available for a pick/prospect. I have 13F signed already and would like to grab 2-3 in FA, so i'll run short on space. Would also do Flynn and Mitchell for a Top 9 guy (preferably signed short term, and cap hit is not an issue)

Also still have a compliance buyout left If anyone wants to sweeten the deal for me (would also consider a non-compliance cap dump if he has 1 or 2 yrs left)

So what is the agent situation now?

 

[Joel Ward]

Shopping Franson.

Could have a deal done soon.

PM!

 

[IslesRock4]

So what is the agent situation now?

I at least need another forward agent.

 

[donghabs98]

Cam Ward is on the block. I'm looking for a top 4 defensemen or top 6 winger.

 

[Avs44]

Can't believe I totally forgot about the draft, regardless, delighted to snag Ritchie at 13th.


Mike Green+Johansson are still on the block for an upgrade up front but it's increasingly likely the Caps won't be making any moves until FA.

Come on guys... someone step up to be an agent.

It's being worked on ;-)

 

[Soli]

I've updated all my Eastern based RFA clients. Only one team has not reached out to me. Some teams have traded for RFAs and not contacted me. Just a heads up.

If you haven't gotten a response from me about an RFA, please re-send.

 

[IslesRock4]

Alright, let's get this going! Some good ol fashioned FA game vets are handling all of the free agents. Should be fun!

 

[donut]

waive Rob Scurderi with the intention of using their compliance buy-out on him.

 

[rt]

Legwand went from West to East at the deadline.

Ott went from East to West.

Who reps players like that?
