GM Game #2 by RR, 79AM, and IR4

[TLinden]

Sign a player whom you need to look at the FA thread to find out about.

Linden, Congrats. You've put together a great squad. Adding Koivu is huge. Great game.

Thanks. I'd like to think I did a pretty good job with the team. I compromised some prospects in Pietrangelo, Sonne, McCrae and the 1st 2012 but considering we added Doan, Reinprecht, Streit, Asham (for the playoff run) and now Koivu and Scandella I'm pretty pleased.


On another note... I'm a little disappointed no one noticed my titles

"Phoenix is singing the Blues"

"St. Louis is going Streit to the Stanley Cup"

"The Blues are going Wild!"

 

[IslesRock4]

Sign Antti Miettinen to a 2 year 3M contract. 1.5M per season. We feel we got Antti on a great deal, he's a solid defensive player who can pot some goals throughout the season. He'll likely line up with Reinprecht on our 3rd line, and we'll give current 3rd liners Steen and D'Agostini a chance to compete for the 2nd line vacancy as they both demonstrated a more then capable. offensive game this past season.

Post in the FA thread you doofus. Maybe I'll make a new rule and veto signings if they're posted in here before the FA thread.


Re: Frolov Signing - any cash beyond $1M to Frolov is too much, IMO. But I'll say it's a good signing for the Blackhawks, considering the shallow market and previous games' prices for him.

 

[Nuckles]

Looking to move Thomas Greiss, John McCarthy, and possibly Tom Kostopoulos for a better bottom 6 forward.

LAST CALL on some of these guys. A few of them will sign in Europe or Retire at Midnight, more will follow Friday. Almost all of these guys are willing to consider low-money 1yrs, incentive-heavy with low bases (for those that qualify: over 35 or injured last year *cough*Harding*cough*), 2Way deals and AHL contracts

 

[C-Saku Koivu MTL]

New update

Some still very solid players available. A good offer money wise (more or less what they use to make) with good terms (2+ years) could make these players sign right away. If you try to get them on the cheap, it's ok but you will have to be a little more patient.

Top 6 fowards:

Brendan Morrison - Waiting for offer
Cory Stillman - Retirement?

Other notable:

Todd Marchant
Brian Sutherby
Chris Higgins

[scrappylilnobody]

Trying to reply to all my PMs right now.

If you don't get an answer in a half hour or so, please send it again. Sorry for the wait.

 

[RR]

are ready to roll for the 2011-12 season.

We preserved what we believe is one of the league's best top-six and added some veteran grit to our bottom six that will make it much tougher for our opponents to get out of their own zones, cross the blue line, and set up in our zone.

We've also improved our PK and acquired some veteran defensive depth.

Here's our lineup heading into 2011-12:
(bold = trade deadline and off-season acquisitions)

Bobby Ryan -- Ryan Getzlaf -- Corey Perry
Joffrey Lupul -- Saku Koivu -- Teemu Selanne
Tomas Kopecky -- Michael Handzus -- Steve Ott
Jarkko Ruutu -- Kyle Chipchura -- George Parros
Matt Beleskey

Jay Bouwmeester -- Lubomir Visnovsky
Toni Lydman -- Cam Fowler
Paul Mara -- Jason Strudwick
Sheldon Brookbank

Jonas Hiller
Curtis McIlhenney

SALARY CAP LIMIT: $62.3M
SALARY CAP PAYROLL: $61.9M
SALARY CAP SPACE: $400K

 

[Nuckles]

The San Jose Sharks waive John McCarthy.

 

[Nuckles]

The San Jose Sharks are set for the 2011-2012 season.

San Jose Sharks
(2011-2012 roster)

Patrick Marleau - Joe Thornton - Tuomo Ruutu
Ryane Clowe - Joe Pavelski - Devin Setoguchi
Jamie McGinn - Logan Couture - Mark Recchi
Tom Kostopoulos - Scott Nichol - Arron Asham

Eric Brewer - Dan Boyle
Marc-Edouard Vlasic - Joni Pitkanen
Jason Demers - Douglas Murray

Tomas Vokoun
Justin Peters

Salary Cap: $61,875,001/$62,300,000
Salary Available: $424,999​

After a disappointing loss in the 1st round of the playoffs, the Sharks needed to make a few moves. We felt that we needed a top 4 physical, defensive d-man and a physical bottom 6 forward, and we got what we wanted.

Leaving the team this offeseason were Erik Cole, Niclas Wallin, and John McCarthy.
Replacing these players are Arron Asham, Mark Recchi, and Eric Brewer.
Asham is an upgrade from McCarthy, Brewer is an upgrade from Wallin, and Recchi is a slight downgrade from Cole.

Hey guys. I've been following these as I used to participate in a couple. So. Um. What happened here?

To LAK: Brent Burns
To MIN: Thomas Hickey, Peter Harrold, LAK 2011 2nd
____________________________________________

To STL: Mikko Koivu, Marco Scandella
To MIN: Brad Boyes, Andy McDonald, 1st 2012, Ian Cole

Any sort of reasoning from the MIN GM?

I guess there will be no Wild trades next game.

 

[this providence]

Fire sale in Minnesota?

I guess you could say that. Something of notable return would probably be ideal, though.

I guess there will be no Wild trades next game.

Heh. What, no one will be interested in James Sheppard? Cam Barker?

 

[Leafs4life1996]

Sorry I haven't been on in a couple of days, if you want to know why just PM me or come online in msn: [email protected]

 

[TLinden]

well this died out. I wish defense agent would let some players sign now that we're a week into this.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

Agreed. A week in, and I've gotten one concrete acceptance. Would like to be able to put the rest of my roster together.

[Kessel>Seguin +]

Most of my clients have signed, very few notable guys left


Jason Arnott - 2 offers, wants to go to a contender - 2 mil per

Mike Knuble - A bunch of offers, trying to find the right money now. Looking for 2.5 per and a contender is a must

Vinny Prospal - no offers - He has a meeting with his agent tommorow morning to consider his options

Alex Kovelev - 1 offer top 6 minutes is a must


I still have lots of 4th liners/grinders available and you can find that in my post in the FA thread

 

[TLinden]

I'm kind of shocked that Garon, Boucher, and Leclaire for jobs over Gigeure and Harding.

 

[TLinden]

Samsonov for 3M. Wow.

 

[T_Cage]

Mike smith and giggy have signed. Other goalies still in play (no interest in Harding??? This makes the fact he rebuked me in pre-fa negotiation funny, but he deserves a home)

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

When is next GM game?

I have a good idea of what team I want to be

 

[Leafs4life1996]

^yeah

 

[IslesRock4]

When is next GM game?

I have a good idea of what team I want to be

Whenever juice decides to sign a certain player with me.

 

[TLinden]

Next game can we quicken FA up? 1-2 days for the big guns and the floodgates open after that. Some teams complete their team with the big signings and by the time the smaller ones are made no one really cares anymore
