[BillyShoe1721]

Nashville is happy to announce the signing of LW Alexei Ponikarovsky to a 3 year, 3.25M/year deal. He will bring a great blend of offense, grit, and defensive awareness to our Nashville team. We look forward to what he will bring to our club.

The Carolina Hurricanes announced today that the club has signed Dominic Moore to a 1 year, $1,000,000 deal. Dominic will play on our 3rd line alongside Chad Larose and Brandon Sutter.

We are still waiting to here back on a potential deal that would bring a former 40 goal scorer to Carolina.

 

[Halifaxhab*]

Tampa Bay Lightning announce...

That Cheechoo has now cleared waivers and has been bought out for 1M per year for 2 years.

He is now free to sign with any team in North America or Europe that will take him. We thank him for his services and wish him the best of luck.

 

[SixthSens]

The Carolina Hurricanes have waived Sergei Samsonov with the intention of buying him out.

 

[Buenos Necas]

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

Sorry to hear that, I hope you get well soon.

If it's alright with you, and ClassicDevil/BigG/IR4 approve, I'd like to take over the Caps.

KINGS ADD GRIT, LEADERSHIP TO BOTTOM-6

Owen Nolan - $1,750,000 per - 2 Years with NTC

and

Mike Grier - $1,250,000 per - 2 Years

:thrashers

Sign Alex Frolov to a 5 year, 5M/Year contract.

Also, still waiting on the RFA agent to respond on resigning offers I made a while ago, and am still waiting on. The players are qualified, but I traded for the players after they were qualified and would like to get a firm cap hit locked down.

 

[matt trick]

San Jose is looking to move Clowe and Murray/Vlasic.

I will not trade Vlasic for any less than a blue chip forward prospect. Jason Demers could be added to the above deal to sweeten the deal.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

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.

Matched. Nice try.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Matched. Nice try.

Just want to point out that your decision to match came 28 hours and 22 minutes after the announcement of the offersheet.

You had 24 hours to match.

Who gets the player?

Oilers.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

Oilers.

Wow. Super weak. I was a few hours late for crying out loud, I not only work full time, but go to school part time as well as have a family to take care of, and I'm gonna lose it by 4 hours because I don't scan every single forum.

Could have at least sent me a PM telling me you were poaching him, but whatever - take him, he's a bottom pairing defenceman anyways.

 

[Jamie Benn]

I wouldz lykz da next game, just sayin.

And bumping for the purpose and fun of bumping.

I thought his agent would've PM'ed you, doesn't seem like my responsibility.

 

[BillyShoe1721]

Still waiting on agents...I want a complete team!

 

[IslesRock4]

I do plan on posting GM Game #6 sign up. I'm a little concerned because activity fell terribly in this game and almost no one completed their rosters. I'm hoping that's just because the cap drop wasn't friendly to work with.

I'm going to need people to help me for Game #6. PM me if interested in RFAs/UFAs/trades.

Hopefully with no NHL hockey going on, we can get more interest in the next game.

I think a lot of people threw up their hands and said, "Screw it, I'll fill in the pieces from the farm." Which is interesting, because I think that's a likely possible result of a dramatic cap drop, which leaves a lot of solid players out in the cold (literally - gogo KHL).

Also, with the RL trades, it's not surprising that people lost some interest.

 

[BillyShoe1721]

I'm declaring that I signed Rene Bourque. I'm pretty sure I had the best offer anyway.

JVR-Richards-Kostitsyn
Bourque-Carter-Briere
Powe-Giroux-Downie
Carcillo-Betts-Laperriere

Pronger-Carle
Timonen-Ranger
O'Byrne-Parent

Halak
Boucher

I think I did pretty damn well with the cap drop.

Streit-Hamonic

DiPietro
Roloson

Almost finished, just never got another dman. Don't have the space to call up Martinek.

I actually think my team is awesome. Good young top 6 and a textbook 3rd line. Matt Martin is frickin' epic and Konopka racks up the PIM (finally have a protector for JT). Comeau is....bleh.

My defense is probably my weakest point but I have 2 offensive veterans in Streit and Souray to lead out the young guys. Andrew MacDonald and Jack Hillen are probably 2 of the most underrated defenseman in the game. Hillen was the Isles best defenseman all year long until he took an Ovechkin slapper to the face a couple weeks ago. MacDonald has shined since he got called up (honestly - MacDonald is looking like a young Kenny Jonsson, and the best defenseman the Isles have had since KJ himself).

DP and Rolli is a solid 1A 1B.

How much did you sign Bourque for? I offered a contract also, never got a response.

 

[BillyShoe1721]

I had offered him I think 4 years 3.8M/year.

Oh damn. I could have offered up to 4M/Year

Anyways.. I'm officially reserving... LA for the next game.

It's probably time to give Grabner a shot, he shined briefly with the 2nd line this past season. I wanted to acquire a Bourque type player but the cap just wasn't allowing for it. Cody Hodgson is up, and we're hoping his linemates allow him to chip in 15-20 goals (I see a Jamie Benn type season) with some young players, and a big body in Bernier. Our 4th line is one of the best in the league in my opinion. Talbot is a 3rd line player and sometimes 2nd in Pittsburgh, having him with a defensive guy in Goc and a legit middle weight enforcer in Rypien, it'll be a crash and bang type line.

Our defense is much improved. Losing Bieksa and O'Brien, gaining Robidas and Klein.

 

[IslesRock4]

You guys should know by now that you can't reserve teams. Unless you're part of the team running the game. Which I now have.
