GM Game #5 by Classic Devil, BigG, and IR4

[Dichow Stopper]

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

Same as a NTC... if you move it to go to one team, it doesn't mean that your NTC doesn't exist anymore and that the other team can move you to whoever they want.

[IslesRock4]

Islanders Sign Kovalchuk

​

The Islanders organization should have learned not to do this, considering the Yashin and DiPietro contracts. However, Islanders GM IR4 took advantage of this virtual cirumstance and jumped all over it. "I'm a dumbass!" said IR4 as he rejoiced with his team after the news broke of the signing.

The Islanders signed free agent LW Ilya Kovalchuk to a deal that tops them all. Kovalchuk will earn $140.1M during his 15 year stay on Long Island. He also was granted a No Movement Clause to ensure that he can have a place for his family to stay forever.

Isles' beat writer Katie Strang was able to get a comment from Kovalchuk following the news: "I uhh...was a little upset that they didn't throw in another...you know..$500 million dollars, maybe. This seemed a little low but I took it because it was the most I could get. I heard Long Island has good iced tea or something. I can't wait to buy a house there."

Kovalchuk is expected to join a line with John Tavares and Ales Hemsky.

The rundown of the contract is as follows:

1- $10.6M
2- $10.6M
3- $10.6M
4- $10.6M
5- $10.6M

Nice Job, risky contract but is worth it to bring in a player of his ability.
What an amazing 1st line, Kovalchuk-Tavares-Hemsky
Now I think with that roster you'd be a contender

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks looking for a 3rd line LW

Kovlachuk to NYI ,,,,, Thanks for the 53 mil cap ,,,,, Really fun being Hawks GM this game

 

[Classic Devil]

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

He's on pace to be 3-1. The 12 isn't wins, it's games played.

 

[TLinden]

Well the 12 wins can be moral victories, for even getting to step foot on the ice.

 

[RandallRitchey]

For anyone who missed out on Kovalchuk, Andy McDonald is available.

 

[NowitzkisBrownNugget]

Edmonton has signed D Michael Sauer to a 3-year two-way deal worth $1 million per year in the NHL and 50,000 in the AHL. He will start the 2010-2011 season with our AHL affiliate.

 

[RR]

He's on pace to be 3-1. The 12 isn't wins, it's games played.

Details, details. On pace for 4-1, actually. What do you care? You chose to not re-sign him! (slithers away, wondering why anyone, after all these years, even cares about a player named Danis....)

 

[Barbadian91]

sadly i am pretty sick and need to drop out of the game for personal reasons

 

[NowitzkisBrownNugget]

Rangers Defensman Ilkka Heikinnen has signed an offer sheet with the Edmonton Oilers worth $994,432 per year for 2 years, the Rangers have 24 hours to match.

 

[scrappylilnobody]

Tanguay has it narrowed down to two teams but he is open to other offers. The price is around 1.5 per for 2 years.

Kariya has an offer but it's lowballed. He will look for more money and if not he might retire.

Stempniak isn't happy with his offers either. He would like to get around 2+ per on a long term contract.

Bourque is close to signing with a EC team but we are giving a WC team a chance to get in the race.

Helm has a standout offer but is giving other teams a chance to match or raise. He is looking at somewhere in between 1.5-2.0 per year on a 3 year deal.

Latendresse and Abdelkader only have one offer but they feels they can do better than that.

Kovalchuk - signed
Poni - signed
Moore - signed
Weight will retire.
Grier - signed.
Nolan - signed
Nystrom - signed
Konopka - signed

 

[Jarmac]

Montreal has bought out the contract of Scott Gomez.

Phoenix have signed free agent forward Manny Malhotra to a 2-year deal worth $3M ($1.5M per year).

Manny is the final piece we sought in putting together a lineup we believe can take us to the SC Finals this upcoming season. A look at our final roster will show we line up well with any NHL team out there.

We're excited for the new season to begin.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Montreal has bought out the contract of Scott Gomez.

[Jarmac]

Are you kiddind me? The cost will be insane!?
