[fieldset=""]Waivers/Buyouts

• Post in this thread if you’d like to place a player on waivers.
• Each team has the option of sending ONE player on a 1-way contract to the minors or Europe due to cap reasons.
• Burying a player in the minors or Europe only eliminates a maximum of $900k of their cap hit.
• A player will be on waivers for 24 hours after the player was waived.
• Waiver priority will be based on the 2011-2012 standings.
• If a team claims a player off of waivers, they then have the lowest waiver priority.
• Each team is awarded TWO amnesty buyouts during the Free Agency period.

[/fieldset]

[fieldset=""]Trades

• All trades must be sent to IslesRock4 and RR or else they are not valid.
• Once a trade is agreed upon, send it in BEFORE POSTING, and then you can announce it in the thread. A deal without a NTC or NMC does not have to be approved.
• If a trade is announced prior to it being sent in, it will be vetoed.
• ALL MOVES MUST BE SOMEWHAT REALISTIC. Washington will not trade Ovechkin, Pittsburgh will not trade Crosby, etc. 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 to waive. The trade must be approved by BOTH trade managers prior to posting. Keep in mind it will only be on a rare occasion that a NTC or NMC is waived.
• 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 will require a significant re-work in order for them to be accepted.
• If a player waives his NTC or NMC, the NTC or NMC is still valid with their new team.

[fieldset=""]Agents

• C-Saku Koivu MTL will be the agent for East RFAs.
• Nuckles37 will be the agent for West RFAs.
• SoundwaveIsCharisma will be the pre-offseason agent for UFAs.

[IslesRock4]

There are a few changes to the rules. Make sure you are aware of them.

I'm going to need volunteers to be agents. We will be keeping all FA re-signings in the Free Agency thread now.

 

[TLinden]

Marleau-Thornton-Pavelski
Clowe-Couture-Havlat
Galiardi-Handzus-Wingels
Sheppard-Desjardins-Burish

Vlasic-Burns
Stuart-Boyle
Murray-Braun
Demers

Niemi
Greiss​

Black = Available
On the block:
Antii Niemi
Douglas Murray
Ryan Clowe
Dan Boyle
Michael Handzus
One of Patrick Marleau/Joe Thornton (Going to take a lot for Joe)

We're looking to bring in some fresh faces. We prefer youth, but we are not a rebuilding effort. NHL ready players+ a few prospects to replenish our fairly empty cupboards.

 

[SixthSens]

Looking to accumulate more prospects and picks. Guillame Latendresse, Peter Regin, Erik Condra, Kaspars Daugavins, Sergei Gonchar and Ben Bishop are all available. We are also taking offers on Jared Cowen. An established top-six forward or a very good prospect will be required as part of any potential deal.

 

[Avs44]

Re-tooling. Everyone available except Smith, Wilson, Weber(cannot be traded) Josi, Blum, and all picks/prospects. Looking fit young players, high picks, and good prospects. Rinne MIGHT be available, but the price is incredibly high.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

TRADE BLOCK

Rene Bourque (looking for futures)

Tomas Plekanec could also be available but only if a young proven top 6 forward is coming back as part of the trade.

Also listening to other offers as long as it makes sense.

PM!

 

[holden57]

Pretty much looking to improve everywhere, most importantly need a top 6 center, top 6 right winger, and top 4 right handed d-man. Don't ask about Huberdeau, Gudbranson, or Bjugstad.

You can also feel free to start making offers on Weiss, but my intentions are to re-sign him.

 

[C-Saku Koivu MTL]

Listening to offers for:

Travis Zajac, Patrick Elias, David Clarkson, Dainus Zubrus, Marek Zidlicky and Andy Greene.

Young roster players, prospects, draft picks in return.

If your not sure what to offer, give me a list of available assets you're willing to move and we can talk from there. Preferably fowards players in return.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

KABERLE HEADING TO THE ISLANDERS

The Montreal Canadiens have traded defenseman Tomas Kaberle to the New York Islanders for defenseman Loic Leduc and NYI 2013 4th round pick.

With the emergence of Rafael Diaz, Kaberle was the odd man out in Montreal, especially with the salary cap going down next season. We wish him the best of luck in Long Island.

 

[NYR Viper]

The Blues are looking to add to their core. Looking for a top pairing LD and high end forwards.

OTB:
Stewart

Willing to move:
Berglund
Steen
Cole
MacDonald
Shattenkirk
Rattie
Schwartz
Schmaltz

 

[IslesRock4]

We need at least one good top 6 winger, and at least one good top 4 defenseman. A lot of our team can be discussed in deals. Names include:

Prospects
Joe Morrow
Olli Maatta
Derrick Pouliot
Scott Harrington
Brian Dumoulin
Beau Bennett

Roster Players
Eric Tangradi
Tyler Kennedy
Dustin Jeffrey
Chris Kunitz
Paul Martin
Matt Niskanen

And our 1st round pick, 2nd round pick, and 3rd round pick in 2013.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

WAIVER ALERT

The Montreal Canadiens have placed forward Scott Gomez on waivers.

 

[T_Cage]

Columbus is looking for......everything.

Literally, we need everything..... offense, checkers, defense, goaltending, prospects, aspiring cheerleaders with daddy issues, Little Caesars gift cards (have you tried their wings? Awesome), the second season of Boy Meets World, draft picks....the list goes on

 

[Nuckles]

The Sabres be retooling, yo!



On the Block:
Ryan Miller (offer has to be really good)
Robyn Regehr
Jordan Leopold
Superstar Ville Leino

Looking for:
Young roster players
Draft picks
Prospects

Vanek and Pominville are possibly available for overpayments.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

We're mainly looking to shore up the defense (RH are preferred). A 3rd line center is also a priority.

Only untouchables are Eric Staal, Jordan Staal, Jeff Skinner, Justin Faulk, and Cam Ward.

 

[Soli]

Actively shopping:
- Loui Eriksson
- Jaromir Jagr
- Derek Roy

Also looking for:

[SLAPSHOT723]

I'll volunteer to be some sort of agent. I've always wanted to try it.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

Columbus is looking for......everything.

Literally, we need everything..... offense, checkers, defense, goaltending, prospects, aspiring cheerleaders with daddy issues, Little Caesars gift cards (have you tried their wings? Awesome), the second season of Boy Meets World, draft picks....the list goes on

NEW CBA RULE EXPLANATION!

So recently a new CBA rule was announced to the public.

Any 1 way contract worth more than 900k per season that is sent to the AHL will penalize your team's salary cap.

A popular example: Wade Redden.
He makes $6.5 mil per year on a 1 way contract. The Rangers have him in the AHL.
Since he is making more than 900k, his cap hit partially counts towards the Rangers salary cap.
$6.5 mil - 900k = $5.6 mil cap hit against the Rangers.

It is shown on capgeek as well: http://capgeek.com/rangers/ (look under buyouts)



Also, re-entry waivers are gone!

Edit: And we're not trading cap space/salary this game, because I have yet to fully understand how that will work in the NHL.

If you plan on sending him to the AHL, you will keep $6,457,143 of his cap hit.

 

[Nuckles]

I bet you aint loving Visnovsky.

#ShotsFired

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Cap space won't be an issue but I was planning to loan his contract to an European team for the rest of the season.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

I bet you aint loving Visnovsky.

#ShotsFired

Nope, not loving that

Give me Myers for being such a jerk

 

[Nuckles]

Cap space won't be an issue but I was planning to loan his contract to an European team.

Loophole!

I have no clue if the cap hit still applies if the player is playing in Europe. It might, it might not.

I guess it's up to IR to decide.
