GM/FA Game Intermission (FA Games Start 4/15)

[this providence]

Meh, there's not a whole lot that's all that impressive about Leddy. Definitely shouldn't be playing at this level right now either but the Hawks are sort of forced into it. More disappointed that Barker was the return for Johnsson than losing Leddy. But I was in the camp that hated that pick from the start. So I was more than happy to get rid of him. Just not in that deal...

But ya, Barker's pretty awful.

Leddy is a 19 yr old playing in NHL

He is great skater , good passer with a nice shot

His D has been solid

Guy has major upside ,,, He is smaller then Keith but his skillset matches exactly what Keith was coming into league

Hawks confirm

Brouwer is due a raise as RFA and with Frolik acquired his role in top 6 next year looks iffy

Hawks got 2 nice prospects to further fill our system and a high 2nd in this years draft to go with 3 2nd's we currently have to continue to fill cupboards

Brouwer will be missed but it is what it is

 

[this providence]

Guy has major upside ,,, He is smaller then Keith but his skillset matches exactly what Keith was coming into league

He's a lot closer to Niskanen than he is Keith.

 

[Nuckles]

On the Block:
Luca Sbisa (must be a good trade to get him)
Draft Picks
Prospects
Andy Sutton
Paul Mara
Andreas Lilja

(other players may be available, ask about them)

Looking for:
Top 4 defenseman signed for next season


Untouchables:
Ryan Getzlaf
Corey Perry
Bobby Ryan
Teemu Selanne
Jonas Hiller

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

He's a lot closer to Niskanen than he is Keith.

Not really

He is a great skater like Keith when he was young
He has a good outlet pass like Keith when he was young

Leddy's D at this point is actually better then Keith's was when he entered league

With Keith and Campbell helping him develop there is very good chance he will continue to develop in all assets of game

 

[this providence]

Just so we're clear here; you're trying to compare Nick Leddy of the Blackhawks to Duncan Keith, also of the Blackhawks?

 

[IslesRock4]

Kings are now in desperate search for a 2nd line center.

 

[T_Cage]

where is the toronto GM?

He works for a living.

He also doesnt respond to PMs about his TOP asset when the GM can't be bothered to add more than "what do you want for kabby" (that's it, not even a grammatically-correct question mark )

 

[Classic Devil]

New Jersey looking to move their 1st rounder (currently 4th overall) and David Clarkson for a young PMD.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Leddy has alot of the same abilities as Keith and at times looks exactly like Keith did when he 1st entered NHL

Only difference is Leddy is a few inches shorter and his defensive game isn't as developed

Keith though broke into NHL as a 22 yr old ,,, Leddy is 19 yr old

 

[IslesRock4]

Only difference is that Nick Leddy is not Duncan Keith.

 

[Nuckles]

New Jersey looking to move their 1st rounder (currently 4th overall) and David Clarkson for a young PMD.

Who you want is Cam Barker.
He was a 3rd overall pick, so he must be good.

 

[this providence]

Again, Leddy looks like the same player as Niskanen when he entered the league.

 

[Backstrom #19]

Jesus...So many ****ing trades.



Everybody is available except for Tavares, Grabner, and Okposo...Looking to trade some of the young talent I have for players in their prime.

Send me offers if there's anybody you like from New York.

 

[Moses Doughty]

Who's second line center now IR? But you suck

 

[TML g u n n e R s*]

He works for a living.

He also doesnt respond to PMs about his TOP asset when the GM can't be bothered to add more than "what do you want for kabby" (that's it, not even a grammatically-correct question mark )

omg your so smart and funny

Block Update
NEEDS:
#1C
Top 6 Power forward or Scorer (LW preferably)
2/3 Goalie (a stopgap until Giggy/Monster/Rynnas heal. Looking to spend next to nothing on him..)
AHL Goalie (see above)
Picks/Prospects
AHLers with upside

Kaberle- In terms of what i'm looking for, the Burke trade today is actually a great barometer (1st + good propsect + maybe a conditional pick...or package of similar value to that), I am flexible though. Have one good offer on the table, so i wouldnt delay if you wanna get in this chase.

Finger- Best offer takes. Some examples:
*Free
*a smaller cap dump
*+ pick/prospect for a cheap 6/7 D
*bigger cap dump + pick/prospect
You get the idea.....

Lebda- 6/7/8 D, mid-pick/prospect, depth
Giguere/Gustavsson- One or both can go. Good pick/prospect or 2 desired, Monster will be more expensive than Giggy (for him probably Pick + G with upside)

ANY UFA- Not making a playoff push, can move them for futures
*Brent- Capable 2/3/4C depending on team and situation. Pick/prospect
*Crabb- bottom-6 wing (or 2nd line in a pinch). Pick/prospect
*Zigomanis- Depth on the wing. Low pick/prospect or pick upgrade
*Voros- Any offer


Greenop/Slaney/Hamilton- Minor league depth but still young-ish, willing ot swap for 'change of scenary'

 

[SixthSens]

Who's second line center now IR? But you suck

Well I know who he is after.

Or should I say, was after

 

[IslesRock4]

Who's second line center now IR? But you suck

I will not fail you. (I will eliminate your prospect pool though).

 

[The Instigator]

Huge trade out of Colorado.

Matt Funwick

To
Lames Sheppard

 

[SixthSens]

Looking to bring in a decent goaltender for our playoff run.

 

[IslesRock4]
