I believe we've been working with $73M.

TL... East forwards traded to the West are still East forwards. Don't pawn them off on me.

Looks like WPG is going to go shopping

WESTERN CONFERENCE FORWARDS

Offers are starting to trickle in. I'll allow a few hours for offers to be made, then make an update post later tonight. Nobody will sign tonight unless the offers is clearly superior.

Very likely that I'll sign all forwards by Thursday night or Friday morning.

Not a lot of offers so defenceman will start signing this afternoon or as soon as a suitable offer is made.

 

[Soli]

We got plenty of offers overnight for Lucic, Ladd, and Boedker. Kopitar with surprisingly no offers.

I'll respond to everyone this afternoon and ask for final offers from the teams in the running. Probably won't have time to wait for everyone to respond, but if you made a compelling enough offer you should be fine, right?

 

[TLinden]

Okposo has signed.

Taking last minute offers on the one and only Jaromir Jagr.

Jagr & Staal set to sign by 11AM PST today.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FREE AGENTS

I've gone through all the offers and will be sending PMs out to all parties that made inquires.

I fell ill this morning and I'm not in the mood to drag this out. You get one PM to firm up your pitch and then decisions will be made.

EDIT: I've responded to all offers. I'll give a few hours for rebuttals before the bigger fish make decisions.

SIGNED:
- Trevor Lewis
- Boyd Gordon
- Radim Vrbata

 

[Soli]

Ladd, Kopitar, and Boedker have signed.

Milan Lucic will make a decision tomorrow.

 

[Saturated Fats]

New Jersey is proud to announce a pair of signings.

Andrew Ladd is joining the organization on a 6 Year, $40.5 Million deal. We are ecstatic to add a player of Andrew's pedigree to our organization, and feel that his Stanley Cups, to go along with inherent leadership abilities, are the perfect fit as we transition into a new core group of players. Andrew will wear the C for us from day one.

Kris Versteeg will also be joining the team, on a 2 Year, $5 Million deal. Kris is a reliable top-6 contributor, who is good for scoring contributions and as a leader on the team. We feel he'll be a great fit amidst our group of scoring forwards.

We may still look to add a veteran defenceman, but for the time being, we're happy with our roster.

*edit* - And we've added that defenceman! Welcome Luke Schenn on a 2 year, $3.4M deal!

Mike Cammalleri - Adam Henrique - Kyle Palmieri
Andrew Ladd - Travis Zajac - Nail Yakupov
Reid Boucher - Pavel Zacha - Kris Versteeg
Stefan Matteau - Joseph Blandisi - Sergei Kalinin
(Jacob Josefson, Tomas Jurco)

John Moore - Andy Greene
Jon Merill - Damon Severson
Eric Gelinas - Luke Schenn
(Dalton Prout)

Cory Schneider
Keith Kinkaid
