GM Game #7 by Ktown, RR, and IR4

[IslesRock4]

But...but...but...

I just think that FA is wimpy with Semin re-signed, but whatever.

I doubt It's going to be very good in real life anyways...

 

[habsman56]

I think we should have UFA, just each team's personal "Big names" should be harder to resign/want to go to FA as opposed to other games where they are resigning.

[The Instigator]

I resigned all my prominent RFA's so everyone knows. I just can't remember the prices...

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Huge blockbuster between the Wild and the Devils to be announced pending the approval of the commish.

And I mean HUGE.

It still works.

The New Jersey Devils have sold their farm

The Devils prospects, Jacob Josefson, Alex Urbom, and (future prospect) NJ's 1st round pick are heading to the Wild to join the organization in Minnesota in exchange for Minnesota franchise center, Mikko Koivu. The Wild also receive Dainius Zubrus in the deal.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Wild are officially rebuilding: only player who will not be traded under any circumstances is Brent Burns. Don't even bother asking unless you have Crosby/Ovechkin.

Havlat, Backstrom, and Schultz can be had, though.

 

[Kessel>Seguin +]

wow crazy overpayment by NJ. That is likely a top 3 pick

 

[IslesRock4]

Which is automatically a better player than Koivu, I forgot.

I like the deal for both sides, to be honest.

 

[The Instigator]

I do as well. Where's RR? I need him to accept a waive.

 

[Kessel>Seguin +]

Florida updates

Weiss: 4 very good offers. Dont come with less than 2 high end prospects
Vokoun: 3 offers. leaning to one with 2 good prospects + 1st round pick
Erik Gudbranson: Might be dealt very soon for a top 5 pick in this years draft
Stillman: 3rd round pick will get him
Ryder: 3rd round pick will get him
Reasoner: Great bottom 6er going into the playoffs. 2nd round pick

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Why would New Jersey do that? Their team is old and as this year has shown they have some flaws that only youth at this point will fix. With that said acquiring Koivu basically means resigning Parise is even more impossible. Brodeur is near the end so they're going go be needing some rebuilding time. Koivu does not fix that. This years first is the problem.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Koivu has about a 6m cap hit. Zubrus 3. Arnott comes off the books at 4.5 mil this offseason, and they already had ~3m in cap space to begin with. New Jersey can sign Parise just fine.

And try to ice a competitive team? No.

Sweet deal coming out of Tampa. Cap will be a ***** once I win this cup.

This years first is the problem.

The original team, like the 06/07 Flyers, will bounce back next season. Said team, is better than the original team with the addition of Koivu. The Devils are 5 points out of 4th last and with Ottawa free-falling and only Edmonton and the Islanders in front of them the Devils may climb out of the bottom-3.. but we'll see how the voting goes.



Zach Parise is available, but only for the right price. The Devils won't have a problem re-signing him.

 

[The Instigator]

Trade goes down.

3rd Round Pick 2011

To
Cory Stillman

Cory was a huge part of our cup in '04 and will be a huge part this year.

PS This is not the trade I was alluding to. It's monstrous.
