[BigG44]

Dallas is pretty pleased with Game 1. We didn't sign any UFA longer than 2 years, didn't get involved in the nutty contracts, and we aren't rushing any players to the NHL.

In the NHL, we've built a competitive team that won't be outworked by anyone, but they will struggle against the teams with top talent. We are in a position to challenge for a playoff spot while allowing our prospects to patiently develop.

Our 3 rookies next season in the NHL, Tomas Vincour, Philip Larsen, and Brendan Smith have 2 years of pro experience in the AHL. Despite playing most of last season as a 4th liner with Anaheim, Dallas is sending Devante Smith Pelly to the AHL to develop an offensive game. In addition, Dallas' depth and prospect pool is more talented than it has ever been.

We expect the Texas Stars to challenge for the Calder Cup.

Am I supposed to believe this is under the cap? And where's Howard?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

You tell 'em.

 

[caps4cup]

Am I supposed to believe this is under the cap? And where's Howard?

I'm getting rid of some guys (antropov, Cleary, helm, possibly Ribeiro, white, Morris) and I'm looking to trade Howard. I'll figure it out.

Don't worry folks, he's 'got a plan'

 

[caps4cup]

Looking to trade ribeiro for a top 6 winger with a lower salary, and antropov for very cheap!

 

[caps4cup]

Also looking to trade Howard for a 3rd round pick.

 

[Jamie Benn]

Sorry guys, to busy with scouting and stuff.

Any last minute trades send to me. ANYONE but Nash is available.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

FYI .... our trade before the trade deadline included Tom Wandell who was already signed to a 2 year, one-way, contract worth $950,000/year. I see you left him off your projections.

 

[TLinden]

Ooo Detroit GM well over the cap, no respect for the GM Game!

White has been traded pending confirmation and antropov is close, which is 6.25 mil off!

K thanks.

Winnipeg has acquired Ian white from the wings for a 3rd rd pick.

"With the market wearing thin we were still missing a top 4 d, out only safe opton was a trade'

Why don't you just worry about your own team?

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

My defense is Putrid.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Why don't you just worry about your own team?

Because i'm HC...

 

[T_Cage]

Why don't you just worry about your own team?

Have you and HC never met?

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Actually, he doesn't care about his own team!

True that.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

The Boston Bruins have acquired Jimmy Howard from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for a 3rd round pick in 2013.

Place Chris Mason on waivers. He has a $1.2 million cap hit for the 2012-13 season.

2012-13 Line Up

Lucic-Seguin-Horton
Marchand-Bergeron-Downie
Peverley-Kelly-Caron
Paille-Campbell-Thornton

Chara-Jackman
Enstrom-McQuaid
Seidenberg-Kampfer
Lepisto

Thomas
Howard

With this line up, we feel we have a solid chance at another Stanley Cup. Sure, we lost David Krejci and Tuukka Rask, but the additions of Tobias Enstrom, Steve Downie, Barret Jackman, Jimmy Howard, Sami Lepisto and the emergence of Tyler Seguin really makes our team better now and in the future. We're very excited to get the season going with this line up.
