GM Game #2 by TP, RR, and IR

[TLinden]

So...

Agents? What's cracking.

 

[stempniaksen]

UFA Defencemen updated.

Jason Demers has signed.

Keith Yandle and Carl Gunnarson will sign soon.

Dustin Byfuglien is drawing the most interest by far. He'll sign sometime tomorrow. Likely looking like it will take 6-7 million per season for at least 6 seasons to get in the conversation. He'd rather go to a contender, and will if the money is close, but money is the ultimate motivator here.

EAST FORWARDS

Slow start......I'll give a little more time for teams to wake up, but guys will start signing shortly.

Stamkos- Top offer is 12M/yr with an NMC from a Cup contender, although a couple teams are in the 10.5 range and also good fits. Money and Cup are priorities

Jagr- Already received a 3yr offer from a good team. He'll sign shortly if no other traction. Needs to be at minimum 2 yrs at good money to be considered

Staal- 6m per is highest bid. Hed love to hear some more bids, but likes the fit at his highest bidder.

Jamie McGinn- a few bites, 4m is the price atm. Money and PT are priorities

Stempniak- 1 good money offer with Top6 minutes. He'll take it shortly if no other action

UPDATE

McGinn and Jagr have signed

Stamkos is taking FINAL offers up until midnight tonight. Top offer right now is 12M per on a contender, which he is pleased with so youll have to impress me last minute

Staal is down to 2 teams. He'll sign tonight or early tomorrow. Don't ask unless you are coming with 6M+

Stempniak- 1 solid offer. Little low money side, but 2nd line mins. He'll sign by tomorrow

Okposo- torn between 2 offers at 25M over 5 and 6 years respectively. Will sign tonight or tomorrow

Eriksson- 2 teams serious. Top offer is 5m per. Will sign tomorrow

Dale Weise- Bidding war! Okay not really, but 2M is top price on a good fit. Will sign by tomorrow

Still some good players out there, 2/3 of the league is asleep. The guys that "will sign tonight/tomorrow", am taking finalbids now, so if you sit on your hands, too bad.

If you want, you can make contingency bids ("we offer 3m, but will go to 3.5 if necessary")....I won't squeeze you anymore than necessary to make your team the best option (remember money isn't everything, but it holds a lot of value, so it may be necessary for you to go a little higher if your team isn't the best fit).

Open to pretty much anything, though I'm not looking to take on more cap. 2017 picks + young NHLers capable of cracking next years line-up are my main pursuit.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I have responded to all my UFA offers, some of my clients have signed, among them is Anze Kopitar.

 

[888 98 twins]

have been very active. Announcements to come shortly.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I forgot to mention this, but Edmonton and Nashville complete a trade.

Eberle, Davidson for Smith, Wilson, Vesey, Fiala

Edmonton has a pretty set top-6 now and for the future, and Eberle was somewhat expendable to add more depth to our forwards.

 

[TLinden]

Nice trade Soundwave. I like that for Edmonton.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Nice trade Soundwave. I like that for Edmonton.

Ya can't believe Nashville gave up all that for Eberle. Smith or Wilson alone aren't that far off his value.

 

[Paneerboy]

So...

taking the summer off probably. Not much to do with the roster.

 

[Dabeast]

Looking to move Victor Rask+certain fwd prospects for a solid starting goalie

 

[Soli]

James Reimer and Jeff Zatkoff have signed. Cam Talbot is soon to follow. Lots of goalies looking at European options.

 

[donut]

have agreed to terms with Alex Biega on a 2-way contract worth $0.900M.

 

[Nuckles]

signed RFA Joe Colborne to a 1 year, $1.5M contract.

 

[PaulBissonnette]

View attachment 86331
Have resigned the following players:
-Ryan Murray 3 years @ 3.25 million per
-Jared Spurgeon 2 years @ 4.5 million per
-Darcy Kuemper 2 years @ 1.5 million per

One of them with Fiala is pretty fair in my mind.

 

[Peter Griffin]

One of them with Fiala is pretty fair in my mind.

Yea that was my thinking as well.

 

[VanIslander]

Am I the only one who is waiting with bated breath for the UFA offers to be decided on?

Yeah...the free agency period lives and dies with the agents. But I can't blame them, it seems like everyone was too busy to be an agent this game.

A few of mine were waiting for the big names to sign, but I think I'll have to sign them off before that

 

[888 98 twins]

waiting to hear back from some agents on 4 offers I made. We've signed a few guys, will announce in the free agent thread.
