To Paul Stastny

confirm. A relatively small price paid to acquire a better keeper.

 

[IslesRock4]

Still willing to flip Ben Bishop, Ryan Strome, Tyler Johnson, Brandon Saad, others.

 

[TLinden]

I feel like Joffrey Lupul is a tier above some of the keepers I've seen posted. I'd be willing to let him go for a 3rd rounder.

 

[LT]

Anyone and everyone can be moved for the right price, even Toews.

 

[SixthSens]

Will entertain offers for the 1st and 7th overall picks. Would have to be a pretty enticing deal to let the 1st pick go though considering the season I just had.

Can we please institute a maximum games played for prospects? Some of the "prospects" have now played a consistent 3+ years in the NHL and should no longer be considered prospects.

Uhh. We did and none of them have played 3+ years. Three years, yes. Three plus, no.

 

[Backstrom #19]

I should have picked a better looking chick...

Apologies, haven't been around in a while and didn't see the rule update from the last thread.

Haha no worries.

 

[flyguy]

Haha no worries.

Quick question about prospect GP threshold: if a prospect crosses the 212 GP in the middle of the season, they automatically become a non-prospect, correct? Meaning, they can no longer be buried in the minors?

Correct.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Just to be clear.....what exactly constitutes a "prospect", again? Does he have to have been drafted in the entry draft?

I picked up Alex Chiasson in last year's regular draft, and to the best of my knowledge he's still well under 200 games played. Can I count him as a prospect?

Or Chris Tanev.....he wasn't even drafted by me, but rather picked up as a FA mid-season. Currently under the career games cap. Prospect?

You have to have drafted them in the original prospect draft or one of the entry draft. Or if you acquired a player via trade that was drafted in a prospect/entry draft. Anyone drafted in the regular draft or picked up on waivers is subject to keeper rules.

Well that sucks.

Thanks, though.

Just noticed Matthew Nieto can be added to my prospect list, at any rate.

 

[IslesRock4]

Keepers might be due tonight if the Kings win, so last chance to trade for one of Strome/Saad/T. Johnson/Bishop.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

We finished pretty far down the slide... so inquire within.

 

[IslesRock4]

The GMs for the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning have resigned. We are currently in the process of searching for new GMs. If you know anyone who would be willing to take over one of those teams, have them PM me.

We are taking this opportunity to fulfill Colorado's request to switch divisions. Colorado will now be a member of the Amber Division and the New York Rangers will return to the Shawn Division.

It wasn't a request, it was a demand. And it happened. I'm the boss.

 

[The Instigator]

We gonna get the Entry Draft rolling?
