I don't understand the game. I take the full roster and then try to outbid for UFA's and make trades? Or if I get #1 I get to pay Taylor Hall?
You are the GM as it is today. You decide if you want to compete or rebuild. You will make trades with other GMs as well as try to sign UFAs to meet that goal. Any UFA you sign cant be traded after. After some time, votes will happen to determine who rebuilt their team best and who built the best contender.

Looking to stay competitive and cap compliant.

Going to rebuild on the fly. Want to remain a playoff team but can sell off some of our older vets.

Looks like things can start if a few more teams get GMs--I can do Vegas as 2nd team if needed.

:habsLooking to buy a top pair LD. Cap situation is tricky. Edmundson, Byron and possibly Tatar actively OTB and could include sweeteners I have 14 draft picks. Kotkaniemi, Suzuki, Gallagher, Caufield, Ramanov not going anywhere.

:hawksOpen season per IRL. Let's have some fun.

Looking to get younger while staying a contender. Klingberg and Heiskanen are the only untouchables, I'm willing to talk regarding anyone else.

:pens

Pretty much the same situation, looking primarily to improve the defense and goaltending. Crosby and Malkin untouchable, everyone else can be had. (Although Letang and Guentzel will need very valuable pieces coming back)

:nashville is selling everything not nailed down. Start you offers on Josi, Ellis, etc.

:nucks are looking to contend, all picks and prospects are available. We will need to move cap in some deals.

The rebuilding continues. Getzlaf, Rakell, Lindholm, and Manson are moving 50% retention is not a problem on these shorter contracts. No untouchables, but will take a lot to get Zegras/Drysdale.


:rangers

Looking to contend while staying youthful. Centre and left hand defence are my top priority.

And with @stempniaksen taking the last 2 teams we are full! Trading is open and it looks like giving every team one free buyout won. I will be creating a thread to keep track of these buyouts, trades, etc here pretty soon. You will post your buyout in there if you would like to use it.

I’m going to change things up with how you announce trades too. Post trades in the same thread as the buyout one and the other person can like it to confirm. It’ll be easier for me instead of having to flip through a ton of pages.

Kyle Palmieri, Nikita Gusev, Travis Zajac are all available.

Can take on cap and looking into possibly acquiring some overpriced players that can still contribute at forward and defense.

:wings

Looking to acquire some players that can contribute now, cap space not an issue.
