Mock offseason - USE part 3, NO POSTS HERE!

[UncleRisto]

Detroit ups their offer for Hartnell to $3.75M

 

[AslanRH]

I imagine MDZ will stick to the east. Rags, Flyers, Pens are a natural fit.

Just my two cents.

e: misread post

I think he will take term and money, then location. He's had too many changes via trade and buyouts (now) so I think some security would be in order

 

[Paneerboy]

In which case Paneer kindly offers to give me his worst prospect in his organization instead, right Paneer?

Yeah haha.

Deal is revised to Tanner Lane.

 

[UncleRisto]

Alright, who's gonna sign Medvedev?!

 

[AslanRH]

Doubt that will stop the Russian invasion.....

 

[UncleRisto]

Your Washington Capitals are brought to you by Meldonium.

 

[Valar Morghulis]

Niemi and Lehtonen are available if anyone is interested. I could even retain some money on them!

 

[lonelybadger]

I'll throw in an offer:

2 years 1 million for medveded.
2 years 1 million for nikitin.
5 years 4 million for MDZ.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yup, that works.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

I'll throw in an offer:

2 years 1 million for medveded.
2 years 1 million for nikitin.
5 years 4 million for MDZ.

Medvedev could get more going back to the KHL imo.

Hulk and Flash signs with Blue Jackets!

Polak taking his annual holding penatly while Helm sustains his annual fluke injury

By Aaron Portzline The Columbus Dispatch • Saturday May 14, 2016 12:02 AM

The Columbus Blue Jackets are proud to have both, shutdown defender, Roman Polak, and speedster defensive specialist Darren Helm join the team from free agency.

Polak is rumoured to have signed a deal worth a total of 22.5 million for five years and a partial no trade clause up to ten teams. While Helm, will be getting 13.6 million for his four year stay in Columbus. Because of both of these contracts, the Blue Jackets are over the cap by 4.372 million dollars. While GM Krzysztof did not specify on how to get under the cap again, some of the hockey insiders via "Twitter-verse" are hearing they will waive David Clarkson. The main purpose of it would be to reassign him to Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League and take his 5.25 million cap off the NHL roster. One of the moves as of now which might confirm some sort of this transaction is the club has recalled Danish star, Oliver Bjorkstrand from Cleveland.

[Paneerboy]

Do waivers in this game clear off the entire cap hit?

 

[UncleRisto]

Of course not.

Wonder if CBJ's moves should be cancelled and Helm be given back to the Wings then. (And not Lonewolfe.)

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

You can't be over the cap, last time I calculated your cap you were able to afford both.

Of course not.

Not even I would get him if it were cancelld, Ottawa was higher. But your concern over how good my team has become is well noted! Hah.

 

[Congo Jack]

The Carolina Hurricanes have traded James Wisniewski to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Andrew Cogliano. Carolina will be retaining 2.5 million on Wisniewskis contract.

 

[UncleRisto]

Ah, I thought you'd get him... Just thought it'd only be reasonable that he'd want to avoid having to move.

I am wary of dealing with you after the whole MacDonald thing.

Confirmed. There is basically no RHD available in FA or trade that we could find to fill a top-4 role. Despite his injury issues of late, we hope he can come into next season completely recovered and back to his consistent 30+ point form from the back end. We wish Cogliano luck and saw his value here, but think he can be replaced in free agency with our remaining cap space.

Hey, that wasn't that bad of a deal. You got a discount on Simmonds for taking a retained MacDonald... if you check the trade boards Simmons has some serious value. People want to move Fowler, high picks, etc for him.

But yes, I was happy to be rid of MacDonald. I can't believe I managed to revamp Philly's entire defense this mock. It was my goal to get rid of a couple of the dead weight contracts, but all of them? Only Ghost is part of the original defense.

I can't wait to do the end of mock awards and have everyone vote on various things (most improved team, most realistic GM, most lopsided trade, etc).

I know the feeling. Everyone wanted to price gouge me for all of the top RHD. Had to overpay to get Demers. Gudas had some nice value.

Yes, I revamped mine as well. There's a Phaneuf - Schenn pairing and everything. My defense would've been fire like 5 years ago.

 

[MackAttack26]

Anaheim would like to update a few of there FA offers and add some new ones.

Alan Quine - 1 year / 650K (2-way)
Matt Cullen - 1 year/ 1.25M
Jason Chimera - 1 year / 2M
Ben Lovejoy - 2 years / 1.25M

We also retract our offer to MDZ.

RHD are like gold ya know

 

[UncleRisto]

I'm about to have four on the roster. Too bad none of them are all that good.

 

[InjuredChoker]

LV offers 2 yrs, 1.25M AAV for alan quine.

 

[Tweaky]

Rumor: Hawks offer max ELC to Michal Kempny (1 year due to age).

They also announce the signing of prospect Gustav Forsling to a 3 year ELC, terms TBD.
