Free Agency - Gm's Get Ready To Respond!!!!

[Brock]

I had a dream that Brock outbid me for Wade Redden last night. It was really odd to have a dream about fantasy hockey.

LOL

That one's not coming true!

 

[HFNHLOilers]

Brock you have mail btw

LOL

Hmm... could this be misdirection.

No, but seriously. If I didn't win Redden then somebody overpaid massively. If I wasn't damn near insane, I wouldn't have put that bid in.

I guess you outdid my 2M bid then.

 

[Vagrant]

I guess you outdid my 2M bid then.

Only slightly. $2.5 for 3 year term. Madness even in my eyes. But hey, I needed a healthy body. We'll see if it floats.

I will neither confirm or deny how insane you may be, but I can confirm there is no misdirection in Brocks statement.

It will be interesting to see where he lands...I'm starting to get carpel tunnel refreshing this site, hehe.

A few nights ago Jeff and I spent several hours going through free agent offer by free agent offer, discussing rules, arguing about philosophies and interpretations of the rules, and I dreamt about it all night.

We should get a group rate on both therapy and "HFNHL 4 Lyf" tattoos.

Very interesting stats we have there.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Thanks for the updates. For some reason, despite the lack of stars, I'm really anxious to see the results.

Me too......it is starting to interfere with my studying for the bar exam next week (say what you will about my priorities)

 

[Default101]

I can say, that I made the 4.5M x 4yr, but that offer won't even make it to the first round of results because I played it safe and went with a sure pick..

Any chance a few subtile comments can be made about players you already know are going to sign off somewhere

 

[Dempsey]

Highest UDFA Contract Offer: $2 Million x 3 Years

No.

 

[PasiK]

Looks like one of my crazy offers

Also Dennis Endras offer really must be illegal ... Even he signed with nhl team

 

[Ohio Jones]

They could do that... or they could spend that time completing their due diligence so they can actually release the results.

You know, whatever.

LOL wellllll somethin like that would only take like 5 mins, but that means the results can come out 5 minutes faster.. either way i'll be online at work all night so i'll be checking periodically to see if they pop up in the middle of the night in the EST zone

FA Update:

I was out most of last night so I wasn't able to complete my share of the FA result audit. I'm up (it's fairly early out west) now and working on it. Expect an announcement sometime late in the morning.

Unacceptable! (btw going to see Inception today)

However - Great work Mr. Kirk
