FA Game #3

[IslesFTW]

J.S. Giguere is still available!

We still have a few teams interested, but negotiations are going slow. Price is relatively low for a goalie of his caliber(draft pick + below average to average prospect in a deal just for Giguere). We'd like to make a deal by tomorrow, so contact us if interested!

Chicago is looking to add a veteran defenseman with good leadership skills. Looking for a bottom pairing guy that is solid in both ends, and isn't afraid to hit.

Gretzky Steps Down As Coach

Phoenix Coyotes Coach and Managing Partner Wayne Gretzky has announced he is stepping down as coach of the team to move upstairs and assist new ownership and General Manager Don Maloney in turnng around the organization that came close to being moved to Southern Ontario in the off-season.

"It's a new beginning for this organization and I have decided I can better serve the team in a management role rather than behind the bench. I've loved my four years coaching but it's time to bring in a new coach who can bring new perspective, energy and ideas as we move forward in our quest to become a perennial playoff contender."

While no head coach coach has been named, it was announced that Assistant Coaches Doug Sulliman, Ulf Samuelson and Grant Fuhr will not return. "I have the greatest respect for Dougie, Ulf and Grant, but I want to be fair to our new head coach to let him build his own staff."

The Coyotes have several candidates in mind, but Gretzky refused to name names. "We hope to make a final decision within the next few days," Gretzky said, adding the team wanted the new coach to have plenty of time to work with Maloney, team scouts and player development personnel to prepare for the upcoming draft and free agent signings period.

Chicago re-signs Havlat

Chicago has re-signed the star RW to an 8 year, 32 million dollar deal with a limited NTC where he can state 15 teams he will not accept a trade to. Martin was an integral part of our offense this year, and has been a great veteran presence added to our great young talent up front. The cap hit on the deal is only 4M, giving up plenty of room to address other needs, as well as signing Toews, Kane, and Keith next year. We are excited to have him back, and look forward to going deep into the playoffs, and hopefully winning some cups. The deal will pay him the following salaries each season-6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2.5, 2.5​

The Edmonton Oilers are proud to announce that they have re-signed Ales Kotalik. 2 years, 3.35 mill per and a LNTC where he gets to pick 10 teams he does not want to go to.

Kotalik is someone we needed. He was playing physical here and was scoring. He his also capable of being the QB of a powerplay and he was having a great season here in Edmonton for the period he was here. He scored 7 goals and had 4 assists in 19 games he played for the Oilers this year. To me those are pretty good stats. I hope Kotalik continues his fine play for the next 2 years.

The Lightning Are Going Down The Right Path

The Tampa Bay Lightning are interested in Pat Quinn to become their Head Coach. Rich Tocchet has been relieved of his duties as Head Coach. We would like to thank Rich for his time here, but with our new ownership group, after buying the Lightning just a few days ago, we were just not interested in him for the job. The Lightning are also interested in bringing in Ted Nolan, and Tom Renney as assistant coaches.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have also been give permission to bring in Chuck Fletcher, Penguins AGM into the Lightning's General Manager's position. The Lightning have relieved Lawton of his job due to his lackluster performance.​
