• 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 ridiculous trades.
• 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 trade managers prior to posting. Keep in mind that not all NTCs or NMCs will be waived.
• The commissioners will provide an 8-team no-trade list for players with a "modified NTC/NMC" on capgeek 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.

[IslesRock4]

PM me if you want to help with the agents. I'll probably end up being one of the RFA agents.

Sent out a PM to Produce to fill the last spot, hopefully we will get that filled soon. No trades sent in until we get a Jackets GM, please.

 

[Joel Ward]

I'll do east RFA's if you want.



Everyone other than Ehlers, Trouba, Scheifele, Morrissey and Ladd can be discussed. Looking for youth.

 

[T_Cage]

Pittsburgh is going for it. Draft picks be darned! Prospects, who needs prospects when I'm taking home the Cup! (Also known as the IR4 method :-p)

But....I kinda have no cap space. So I will be moving a couple cheap vets (Adams, Scuderi) and am willing to talk a couple hockey deals for NHLers. Don't come near Maatta tho unless you are ridiculously overpaying.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Looking for a #1 center and a 3rd line RW. Also cap space to sign Jaden Schwartz.

TJ Oshie, Patrik Berglund, Ian Cole, and STL 1st 2016 are all available.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

We are in the market for a top line centre, and we're willing to talk a lot of possibilities.

Teams looking for defencemen or goalies, we've got Franson and Reimer on the block. Very few guys who are untouchable except the obvious ones (Kessel, Rielly, Gardiner, Nylander, etc.)

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Everyone OTB aside from Faulk and Murphy.

Tradeblock feature;
Alex Semin 232 Goals in 578 games, 494 points in his soon to be 10 year NHL career.

 

[member 202355]

We are competing for the Stanley Cup (obviously).

Looking for a top 4 defenseman. Untouchables on our roster include Kopitar, Doughty, Quick, Carter, Gaborik, Williams, Toffoli, Voynov and Pearson.

Mike Richards could be moved for the right offer. All prospects/picks are available.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

Everyone OTB aside from Faulk and Murphy.

(Just to clarify are we doing current rosters minus the 2014 draft? So no Ehlers, Nylander etc./in my case no Fleury? and also no Justin Peters?)

This is current rosters as of the start date of the game, so as of today.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

So the Blackhawks are not cap compliant

On block to achieve compliance

Bickell
Oduya
Leddy
Rozsival
Versteeg

If interested PM (Looking for non cap assets such as prospects or picks)

 

[OnTheBrink]

Rebuilding/Retooling

Looking for D man, Wingers, and 1st round picks. Check Roster page to many players to list.....highlights are

Huberdeau, Campbell, Upshall, Pirri, Kulikov, Bolland



NHL ready prospects will hold more value to me then, long projects even with high skill.

 

[C-Saku Koivu MTL]

Ryan O'Reilly - Want to keep him and will but if a team is looking for a top center and is willing to move a equally good and around same age natural winger, we will listen.

Stefan Elliott (along with other asset if needed) is a young defenceman we dangle in search of a 3rd line foward, preferably a center.

Defenceman Ryan Wilson is place on waivers.

 

[Habsfannick]

A New Era in San Jose

​

With the recent failures of the current core we in San Jose have decided it is time to move out key members of the old core. Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Antti Niemi have all been great members of the sharks family but it is time to move on. We will also be looking to move Adam Burish for a decent pick or prospect.

We however will not be going full rebuild as we plan to move forward with Couture, Pavelski, Hertl, Vlasic etc.

We are looking for 2 top 6 wingers (preferably under 30) a tough grinding bottom 6er, and a goalie to share the reigns with Stalock. We could also be interested in NHL ready prospects for any of those positions.

All pieces could be had in trade talks (including prospects) except for Couture, Vlasic, Hertl, Burns, Goldobin and Mueller and maybe Pavelski and Nieto.

Since Thornton and Marleau both have NMCs I suggest getting offers in as early as possible since the process may take some time

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Can we get a little bit of reality in this game

For instance if a big name RFA/UFA just signed a longterm deal with at team ,, That guy should not be shipped out IMO

Unless your Flyers ,, Then it wouldn't be an unrealistic scenario

I guess the question is whether this game is about building a team that you want or about building something which is "likely" to happen in the real world.

[Soli]

Today just so happens to be day 1 of my vacation. The only difference will be shorter more too the point PM threads (hopefully... I get a lil talkative) and less pretty updates on my roster page.

Things I'm looking to accomplish:

- acquire a top pairing defenseman
- acquire a 2nd line center or good 3rd line center
- stock up on RH defense prospects
- acquire a 3rd line RW

Purcell, Petry, Lander, some prospects, etc are on the block. I will consider moving my 2015 1st rounder for a top pairing defenseman or good top-6 center.

 

[Joel Ward]

I guess the question is whether this game is about building a team that you want or about building something which is "likely" to happen in the real world.

Yeah we tend to try and keep it more on the "realistic" side. I mean players are traded after signing new deals around the trade deadline, but usually they are on expiring contracts. A player like Jokinen should not be traded IMO because it is incredibly unlikely that a GM would risk his reputation amongst agents by doing that.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

ON THE TRADE BLOCK (looking for futures) :
David Desharnais
Rene Bourque (modified NTC)
Travis Moen
Peter Budaj or Dustin Tokarski

COULD BE AVAILABLE :
Our 2015 1st round pick and other picks
Prospects (except Scherbak and De La Rose)
*Only in a package for a top line RW

Also looking to swap Magnus Nygren for a talented F prospect.

Our only untouchables are Price, Subban and Galchenyuk. EVERYONE ELSE CAN BE DISCUSSED (Pacioretty would require a king ransom).

PM!

It was more Dave Bolland that got my attention

Just signed a 5 yr / 5.5M AAV ( Tallon ) that would be unrealistic to see traded in this game

I wasn't worried about a Bolland trade. It's up there with Clarkson and Orpik.

I guess the question is whether this game is about building a team that you want or about building something which is "likely" to happen in the real world.

Therein lies the reason that we have the veto system for unrealistic deals.
