Preds add all-star defenseman Gonchar

The Predators are extremely happy to announce the acquisition of all-star defenseman Sergei Gonchar. We jumped all over the opportunity to add this all-world defenseman to our lineup. The deal is for one year, 4M. The deal includes a limited NTC where Sergei will be allowed 8 teams he will accept a trade to. We now feel that our defense is far and away the best in the league, and if we can improve our offense a bit, we've got 3 #1 defensemen and a stud #1 goalie.

Trade to announce

RW Dustin Byfuglien

RW Mikhail Stefanovich
C Joel Champagne

With Byfuglien's 3 mil cap hit we had to move on. Beach will be on our roster next season so we felt Byfuglien was expendable.

We acquired 2 good prospects. Our farm needs to be rebuild at the forward position as we traded a good amount to acquire the assets needed to win the Stanley Cup.

confirm. Toronto is thrilled to aquire big bodied Dustin Byfuglien. We felt we REALLY needed to add a big body to our top 6 and Byfuglien brings that and more to the table. We are thrilled to add this guy to the roster.

MCDONALD AND JACKMAN STILL AVAILABLE.

Rangers add Dubliewicz

The New York Rangers have signed goaltender Wade Dubliewicz to a two year, 1M$ contract.

"Wade will provide us a solid, veteran backup to Henrik Lundqvist and provide us a wealth of experience from both overseas, and in the NHL," Rangers GM TribalPhoenix stated in a press release this evening.

"While we have depth in the goaltending department, we would like to give our younger goaltenders such as Zaba and Johnson the chance to refine their game in the AHL. When they're ready to compete they will have their chance, but we know Wade will not give up the job easily. It is his role to lose."

BRING BACK SAMMY

To Anaheim: | To Phildelphia:
Samuel Pahlsson|ANA 2nd Round Pick In 2011

The Anaheim Ducks have acquired a Stanley Cup Champion with Anaheim in 2007, Samuel Pahlsson in exchange for a 2nd round pick in 2011.

Sammy was one of the main peices in winning the Stanley Cup in 2007, his excellent two-way play really brings out the best in his teammates.

Sorry guys. I'm out of this game. Just realized (took long enough) that my backpack was stolen from my car as well. So goodbye textbooks and notebooks, during midterm week. Gonna be a fun few days...

 

[matt trick]

2.5 is a joke... Even without a market you'd see Evgeni go to Russia before getting paid that.

That may be true, however, at this point, Nabby is as American as he is Russian. He has been with the Sharks organization for 15 years and is married to a American girl. WHile I agree he won't be signing for 2.5 million (I'd be stoked with 4), there is a huge number of goalies who are capable as starters or adequate, or have the potential to do so (Harding, Halak, Schneider, Pavelec, Gustavsson). If Nabby hadn't received another offer, and his team (and it is as much his as any other player in franchise history) offered him a good shot at the cup, it wouldn't be out of the question for him to take it.

That really sucks man. Losing cds and car parts is one thing, but if you are a diligent student (I am not- in operations management at the moment) than that would be brutal. Grab a friends notes and a copy machine. If you know someone who takes notes online so much the better.

 

[Halifaxhab*]

The Tampa Bay Lightning are pleased to announce the signing of the ONLY UFA we had eyes on.

Goaltender Marty Biron has signed a 2 year 2.8M$ deal paying him 1.4M per season.

Marty will platoon duties with Tim Thomas and completes our roster.

Tampa will listen to offers on their players however we are not motivated to move anyone without a good offer coming our way.

 

[SixthSens]

The Carolina Hurricanes are pleased to announce the signing of goaltender Mike Brodeur to a 1 year contract, worth $575,000. Mike will be given the opportunity to take the back-up role behind Cam Ward.

will there be a GM game #6? Love to get in on that...

 

[this providence]

will there be a GM game #6? Love to get in on that...

Same here!

Just spent the last hour reading this entire thread. Yep, I'm that bored at work right now...

Well, carry on guys. It's a good read on a slow Monday.

Yes...

IR4 will post the sign up thread when this game will be close to the end.

As the agent who accepted this deal, it was my thinking that in reality Nabby would never go without any offer whatsoever, and would have attracted a bidding war between the Sharks and several other NHL teams. I felt it more likely he'd be playing in the NHL in 2010-11 than in Russia. Money's ridiculous, I agree. I just don't see him leaving the NHL for one year of **** pay in a fantasy league.

 

[RR]

Yes...

IR4 will post the sign up thread when this game will be close to the end.

Whoever is going to list and maintain the RFA and UFA lists in Game 6 I am keeping an updated list in the Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk thread:

[Dichow Stopper]

Sorry guys... I don't think that I will be able to play in GM Game 6.

I was approached by Pierre Boivin to become the new GM of the Montreal Canadiens!

I'm pretty sure that the organization was impressed with what I did in GM Game 4.

Chris Drury has cleared waivers

Chris Drury has cleared waivers

Unless I missed something, he was not even allowed to go on waivers because of his NMC.

Did he waive his NMC to go to waivers?

12-4-1?

Took the liberty of using the "on pace" numbers for the full season.

Did he waive his NMC to go to waivers?

My bad... though since he has already waived his NMC to come to Edmonton, is his NMC still in effect?

Kovalchuk has made a decision. Others will soon follow so please send in your best offers.

Review my last post to see the offers and give your best one. Feel free to include who they will be playing with and anything else that you think would be useful.
