HFNHL Opening Round Free Agency Results

[Canuck09]

Here are the results of the opening round of Free Agency!!! Hopefully everyone has enjoyed it so far (especially the Twitter action ) and there are no big issues with the below signings.

Calgary wishes Brett Sutter good luck in Buffalo. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. (ie we are not matching)

 

[Brock]

Awesome job guys! Come on lotteries.

 

[kasper11]

I match on Prust.

Can I ask why Gudas wasn't signed? Under our rules he is a North American and 20 years old, no different than De Hart.

 

[Canuck09]

I match on Prust.

That one was missed yep and he's been added to the list above. Sorry about that.

We just fixed that. You landed him. The confusion came about because I remembered him being drafted. But there were some shenanigans involving Keogh (when is there not?) and the pick was changed.

And as Jeff said - my mistake.

I personally enjoyed the arms race going on here for the Scandinavian heroes.

 

[Lord Stanley]

The hurricanes will match the offer sheet on fehr.

 

[Tampa GM]

I personally enjoyed the arms race going on here for the Scandinavian heroes.

Alot of intresting free agents from Europe this summer. I was outbided on Henrik Karlsson though . Now thinking what to do with Persson and that finish guy. Give me Zuccarello please! Its either breake it or make it for Zucca, I am convinced he will make it.

 

[Dryden]

Can one of the powers that be update the compensation section in the rulebook. I thought that was up to date and used it as a guide. oooops

 

[HFNHL Canadiens]

Montreal will match the offer for Sergei Kostitsyn.

 

[kasper11]

Glad i got Selanne....considered him the only true impact UFA this year. Now I just have to hope he doesn't retire :/

 

[HFNHLOilers]

Marek Vledensky - $900,000 x 3 DET, SJS



Just So you guys know im not sure if it was lost but i put in the same offer i should be in this Lottery thanks for all the hard work

 

[Canuck09]

Marek Vledensky - $900,000 x 3 DET, SJS

This one is a typo. Detroits offer wasn't good enough to get into the lottery and yours was. They are side by side in the grid, will update it now.

 

[Canuck09]

I found a correction that needed to be made.

There was a spelling mistake which caused an offer from NYI to be missed on David Dziurzynski. Because he now has 2 max offers he will go to a lottery instead of signing with Detroit.

Sorry for the mixup, the following has been updated in the main post...

David Dziurzynski - $900,000 x 3 DET, NYI

 

[Default101]

the name of the goaltender i signed is Darcy Kuemper. He's a goaltender in the Minnesota Wild system. Just helping on the spelling

 

[Dempsey]

LAK match the RFA offer sheets to both Kaleta and Brouwer.

 

[Canuck09]

Another update to the results. I missed some priority players for the Islanders where a block of 3/4 guys had multiple 1s in it when I thought it was a group of 1-4. My bad guys.

Andrew Ladd has now signed an offer sheet with the Islanders, $2,800,000 x 1 year. BUF to receive 2nd round pick as compensation.

Andreas Lilja should've received an offer from the Islanders as well which is higher but a shorter term than the current top offer. This new offer bumps BUF and VAN out of the 2nd round as they were too low to continue.

These have now been updated in the main post, along with the RFA matches up to now.

Like - is this some like Twitter rumour or something? E5?

Kidding. Thanks for the updates Jeff.

 

[Hossa]

Evgeni Skachkov - $1,200,000 x 3 DET, MTL

Did this guy sign in the end? It never got on capgeek, on eliteprospects it's confirmed he's moved to AK Bars Kazan, and I couldn't find any other link to support it. I saw at one point it was shown, but he seems to have gone to a new KHL team instead. I wouldn't have outbid those offers anyways, so it's not a complaint, just curious.

[Canuck09]

My round 2 offers have been sent to Matt so everyone else can start sending me your new offer file if you've been invited to a 2nd round on a player.

 

[Toronto_AGM_Adil]

Anti Niemi - $3,012,000 x 4 TB (2nd to TOR as comp)
Niklas Grossman - $2,500,000 x 3 PHI (2nd to TOR as comp)

Toronto matches both offers

 

[Tampa GM]

Like - is this some like Twitter rumour or something? E5?

Kidding. Thanks for the updates Jeff.

What happend to this Ladd guy?

T"here was also a few players that received offers but will hold out for more after the opening phase of FA is finished. The best offers received are listed below."

I thought Ladd would wait until this opening phase was over and see what other offers he would get or was that 2.8 offer missed earlier? Oh, well now that I miss out on Niemi its time to go chasing someone else
