• If a trade is announced prior to it being sent in, it will be vetoed.
• ALL MOVES MUST BE SOMEWHAT REALISTIC. The commissioners hold the power to veto any moves we deem to be ridiculous.
• A trade involving a NTC or NMC must be sent in by BOTH GMs with a reasoning for the player(s) to waive. The trade must be approved by BOTH JW and Peter Griffin prior to posting. Keep in mind that many NTCs or NMCs will NOT be waived.
• The commissioners will provide a 5 to 8-team no-trade list for players with an unspecified "limited NTC" upon request.
• If a trade involving a NTC or NMC is announced before approval, it will be vetoed.
• If a team does not have enough cap space to complete a trade that has been sent in, the trade will be vetoed.
• Vetoed deals must be significantly altered in order for them to be accepted.
• If a player waives his NTC or NMC, the NTC or NMC will still be valid with their new team.

[Gecklund]

I know a few people volunteered to be agents but I don't remember who it was. So if you want to be an agent, let me know. We need West RFAs and In Season UFAs


Willing to move Justin Braun for a forward or futures. Also always willing to improve my roster. Players that are unlikely to move are Hertl, Meier, Couture, Merkley, and Karlsson.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Our main trade asset for GM Game 1 is Jeff Petry. He still has two more years at a very reasonable cap hit. We are looking for (quality) futures and keep in mind that he has a LNTC so potential playoffs teams only.

Due to a logjam in our offense group, Nikita Sherbak is in play for the best pick or prospect possible.

Andrew Shaw and Karl Alzner are also in play for futures and we are willing to retain on their salary if the return is worth it.

For teams looking for veteran depth, Tomas Plekanec, Jordie Benn and David Schlemko are available.

Listening to offers :
Tomas Tatar
Paul Byron
Charlie Lindgren

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Looking to contend this season. Biggest need is one or two top six wingers. Unlikely to move Benn, Seguin, Klingberg, or Heiskanen unless there is a big overpay. All prospects and picks are available.

 

[Dabest]

Looking for an 2nd line centre mainly, and in general, trying to improve the roster.
Could potentially move Trouba if the deal is right, willing to move all prospects/picks (including roslovi)
Only untouchables are: Laine, Scheifele, Hellebuyck

 

[ujju2]

Looking to move Burakovsky. Also willing to move on from anyone else in our bottom 6 forwards. Very tight cap situation but looking to contend so we're really only interested in "hockey trades" - we have to balance the cap and don't want to acquire picks or prospects.

 

[forsbergavs32]

around.

Looking to improve our top 6 (especially at center). Untouchables are Forsberg, Arvidsson, Josi, Subban, goalies

Paul Byron
Nicolas Deslauriers
Charlie Lindgren

We are asked if Phillip Danault is available. He isn’t untouchable as we have a plan for him going forward but for the right offer, we could consider moving him. Feel free to send an offer!

 

[OB5]

Oilers here.

Obviously willing to make a major shake up if the right deal is there.

Nobody is untouchable...I am even open to trading McDavid but he has a full NTC so it's not going to be easy.

I'm willing to attach picks and prospects to get rid of the bad contracts that buffoon Chiarelli gave out.

Actively looking to move:

Lucic
Russel
Kassian
Strome

Will move to address needs at D and W:

RNH
Draisaitl

 

[stempniaksen]

Available

Matt Duchene
Mark Stone
Ryan Dzingle
Zack Smith
Mikkel Boedker
Bobby Ryan
Cody Ceci
Mark Borowiecki
Chris Wideman
Craig Anderson
Mike Condon

Open to getting creative to dump the contracts of Bobby Ryan, Zack Smith and Mike Condon.

Tons of interest in Duchene/Stone already. The price will be high for both (1st+high end prospect+pick/prospect).

 

[Gecklund]

if you want a second team let me know

 

[OnTheBrink]

Looking to contend as of now.

Available: Thompson, Bealieu, Bogosion, Sobotka, Pominville, Girgensons, Elie, 2019 2nd/3rd, prospects

Available for the right deal: Dahlin, Mittlestadt, 2019 1st, Nylander

Untouchable: Eichel, Ristolainen, Reinhart

 

[TribalPhoenix]

We're undecided on buying/selling. All depends on the offers we get; that'll decide our direction.

That said, we aren't moving Aho.

Untouchable: Eichel, Ristolainen, Reinhart

I don’t see how you will convince the commishs that moving Dahlin is realistic for Buffalo.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Paul Byron is generating some serious interest so far, it looks like he could be traded early when the game will start.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

I don’t see how you will convince the commishs that moving Dahlin is realistic for Buffalo.

It is not.

 

[LT]

I don’t see how you will convince the commishs that moving Dahlin is realistic for Buffalo.

Also, how is Risto untouchable but Dahlin isn't?

 

[ujju2]

looking to move Bowey, Burakovsky, and others to upgrade.

 

[LT]

Contending. Looking to improve the roster anyway we can. Any and all prospects and picks (including Sergachev) are available to do so. Higher end assets will obviously cost a lot to move, though.

 

[OB5]

Getting a lot of heat on Draisaitl.

Keep the offers coming.

 

[ujju2]

Ilya Samsonov is available for the right price, would love some offers.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Looking for top six players. Dellandra, Tufte, Oettinger, 2019 1st, Robertson, Hintz, Gurianov, Shore, Ritchie all available. Can package and add other assets.

 

[ujju2]

in addition to Samsonov, Bowey, and Burakovsky, Vrana is also available for a significant upgrade.

 

[OnTheBrink]

Well it would depend on the return, Ristolainen is untouchable over Dahlin as I am going to try and contend but if everyone has problems with me trading my top end young pieces to contend I’ll just rebuild like whoever has Buffalo always does... I would have thought it would have to be judged on an individual bases depending on return, it would have to be a top top end piece to move Dahlin.

But if this is going to be auto deny trade lemme know and I’ll just rebuild.

I mean nobody is jumping on oilers for saying Mcdavid isn’t untouchable... who is far less likely to move then Dahlin.

Trade whoever you want IMO. As long as the return isn’t stupid like a 2nd round pick. Make it fun shop some guys around.
