GM Game #6 by Ktown, RR, and IR4

[Kessel>Seguin +]

Joni Pitkanen & Nikolai Khabibulin are on the block. Looking for forwards in return.

Didnt Pitaken just sign in Ottawa like an hour ago?


Edit: should have read the rest of the page before commenting lol

 

[habsman56]

Tomas Vokoun will sign by 11 PM EST

Top offer is currently 6M/Year for 2 years.

 

[TBLbrian]

i haven't even heard back on any offers. For some reason this game just isn't working out for me this time

 

[Backlund]

The Calgary Flames announced today that the club has acquired Milan Michalek and Jim O'Brien from the Ottawa Senators, in exchange for defenseman Mark Giordano.

"Milan will be an excellent addition to our top-six, he has lots of speed and can be used in any situation. Jim had a good bounce-back year in Binghamton, and will challenge for our fourth line centre spot."

"Mark only became expendable after we drafted Adam (Larsson) and acquired Brent (Seabrook). We wish Mark all the best in Ottawa."

Confirm

 

[Backlund]

The Ottawa Senators have placed Nikolai Khabibulin on waivers.

Richards to Florida is the biggest joke ever. He signed for 500k more? No way he does that. Him and Gagne do not make that team competitive yet.

And inb4flame saying "UMAD BRO?" because yeah I am.

It is funny how all the best free agents are going to me and Florida.

 

[The Instigator]

Hm. I'm partial to agree. Although the way you're handling it probably isn't the best ideology.

I know I'm just mad that I didn't get him.

 

[Backlund]

You can have Pitkanen, I have no where to put him without sending down Cowen or Rundbland.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Dairy Queen>>>KFC. Just sayin'.

The only Dairy Queen around my house doesn't have food just ice cream (And the other location around my house also doesn't have food and is seasonal)

I haven't eaten a Cheeseburger from Dairy Queen since 2002 when the one a mile from my house closed

I'm getting Wendy's.

Wendys > KFC and Dairy Queen.

Wendy's blows

Giordano's Pizza >>>>>>> Wendy's/KFC/Dairy Queen

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Good thing Pitkanen got a NMC

Just gonna have to build around him as your #1 Senators

[Backlund]

Good luck trying to sign Free Agents ever again

I was kidding...

Isles will have an announcement in the morning.

 

[The Instigator]

Hopefully they've fired their GM.

 

[The Instigator]

We're also looking to trade Stralman. If anybody is interested.

 

[Tavares2TheRescue]

Hopefully they've fired their GM.

Nah, I think they're just taking away some media credentials

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I don't normally do this....but....

It's not about 2011-12, its an 8 YEAR CONTRACT. You seen Florida's future Top 6?

Gagne-Richards-Landeskog
Couturier-B.Schenn-Olesz/Repik/future UFA

This, plus they have Kulikov, Gudbranson and Despres coming up on D, and a future #1 in Markstro who could be almost ready now. This is a sick looking team, and frankly i felt Gagne and Richards are a great fit together (their styles mesh..and they've played for Team Canada before, and i swear they were on the same line in at least one tourney. 2003 maybe?), and having played in TB so long it's a familiar climate...some ppl like not shovelling all this **** snow (I know i would)

Now, i could see a couple other teams having a legit frustration over not getting Richards, but NYR??? Playing with a plethora of young stars vs Marian "Goes on the IR tying his shoes" Gaborik? What if he falters in his later years, will he get the same lynching from Ranger fans/media that Rozi and Redden are getting?? But the main reason is you kept low-balling him the whole way thru, offering the exact minimum to stay in contention while trying to sell that NYR was a 'legit contender' (of which there were better ones offering). Florida actually wanted him.

But everyone sees things their own way I guess. Suffice to say the joke would have been Brad taking a bite out of the Big Apple

EDIT: Also i've cleared my Inbox. A couple guys might sign today but tonight should be another wave of them. Don't delay!

 

[IslesRock4]

As much as I hate the Rangers, I think that's ridiculous T_Cage.
