The St. Louis Blues didn't have the cap space to keep RFA Ian Cole, with a star-studded blueline featuring Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk as the anchors.

| Mikael Erixon (63 ovr TWF, 21 y/o, 3.5 Yellow), Lee Carney (57 ovr GRN, 20 y/o, 2.5 Yellow)

In a surprising move, the Ducks gave up stalwart Francois Beauchemin, despite already having a depleted defence.
New Jersey's continuous rebuild leads to a 1st round pick in exchange for Brooks Orpik, as the Red Wings look to make one last go at the Cup befire the Magician retires.

We're happy with what we have right now. Just because a player is available does not necessarily mean he will benefit the team in the long run.
We weren't comfortable offering a player, albeit one of star caliber (referring to Patrick Kane), that kind of money (8.655m) and term (7 years),
as it goes against our contract philosophy and handicaps our future decisions.​

Draft and Off-Season Report

Caps draft USA Sniper Brian Calvert 2nd Overall

Brian will be ready for the NHL soon. But for now will be getting top 6 minutes in the AHL with the Hershey Bears.

We started out the Draft with a big trade. Trading for the 2nd Overall pick, which belonged to the Ducks. We made 2 total trades at the Draft. Broken down:

Trade #1:



Michal Neuvirth (27 Years Old, Starting Goalie, 84 Overall)
Buffalo's 2014 1st Round Pick (28th Overall)
San Jose's 2014 2nd Round Pick (49th Overall)
Winnipeg's 2014 6th Round Pick (154th Overall)
Washington's 2014 7th Round Pick (195th Overall)



Anaheim's 2014 1st Round Pick (2nd Overall)

Trade #2:



Jeff Schultz (29 Years Old, Top 4 Defenceman, 82 Overall)



Philadelphia's 2014 2nd Round Pick (35th Overall)
Philadelphia's 2014 3rd Round Pick (65th Overall)

We did give up a package for the #2 pick but we felt it was worth it. We traded Michal 1 year after he was making Elite Goalie money when we signed him to a long contract (4 years at $6,600,000). Just glad we could still move him. Also Braden Holtby stole the job from him, is better and is younger. We also have Oscar Dansk coming up who is a good back-up. We traded Jeff becuase as we have a younger player in Patrick Sieloff who will be replacing him and we wanted to unload Jeff's contract, we also wanted to shake things up.

Notable Selections

Number | Round | Name | Position | Age | Overall | Potential
2|1|Brian Calvert|RW|19|72|4 1/2
35|2|Tomi Rynnas|LD|19|58|3 1/2
65|3|Connor Sills|RW|20|54|3

Tomi is a Finnish Offensive-Defenceman and Connor is a 6'4" Power-Forward. Now although we didn't get a ton of prospects Brian could compensate to 3-4 low overall 3 1/2 star prospects. Connor McDavid (62 Overall, 4 1/2 Stars), went #1 to the Oilers, legitimately, as the Oilers finished worst in the League.

Head Coach Adam Oates had Submitted the Opening Night Roster:

2015-16 Washington Capitals

* - Rookie

Alex Ovechkin (93 Overall) 'C' - Nicklas Backstrom (88 Overall) 'A' - Mike Ribeiro (85 Overall)
*Jack Connolly (81 Overall) - Vinny Lecavalier (85 Overall) - Mathieu Perreault (82 Overall)

Karl Alzner (85 Overall) - John Carlson (86 Overall)
*Patick Sieloff (79 Overall) - Marc Methot (78 Overall)

Braden Holtby (84 Overall) - *Oscar Dansk (82 Overall)

The last couple years we haven't had many Rookies play for us at all, but this year 5 will debut. Let's see how this goes. We feel all these Rookies bring a special talent and believe they can produce. We definitely have a great PK'ing team with some scoring so I hope we can do some damage this year.

SEASON BEGINS NOW!

[pensrule2011]

So I am in cap trouble in my Tampa Bay GM.

I have to sign 3 of the following 4 d-men to new contracts but two of them (Hedman and Smyth) are asking for north of 7 Million!

Hedman (86 overall, 30 years old)
-Great defensive d-men for us, has been a solid alternate captain and helped us win two cups. He could leave because we have a good defenseman to replace him. (the next one listed)

Smyth (85 overall, 25 years old, 4 green stars)
-Played his first season last year, and put up decent numbers for playing third pairing minutes and being a DFD. I don't know if I should give him the contract because he seems unproven still

Moore (84 overall, 30 years old)
-Consistent 26-29 point scoring, second pairing defenseman. Asking for north of 5 million which is not that bad.

Ceci (84 overall, 27 years old)
-Consistent 23-27 point scoring, second pairing defenseman also, but better at defense than offense. He is a likely candidate to leave, but I am open to other opinions on the situation.

Along with all this I have to sign Anders Lindback (85 overall). He won the Vezina two years ago and won the Jennings along with Subban (82 overall) this year. Anders is our franchise goalie and I want to keep him but he is asking for more than 8 million per year!

The only logical thing I can think of doing is buying out Bobby Ryan's contract. He has 2 years left on a contract that pays him 7.040 million per year but his past two season have been bad for what he is being paid:

2019/2020- 19 goals - 31 assists - 50 points - (+/- of 8)
2020/2021- 19 goals - 21 assists - 40 points - (+/- of 6)

Opinions welcome

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

I've been extremely busy lately, sorry that I don't have my first post/story up yet!

 

[ChibiPooky]

Nice trades! Excited to see who you pick.

Thanks! The loss of Grabner hurts but he was necessary to get the BOS trade through (and there were really no elite goaltending prospects in the org). I needed to get more out of Nielsen's money, so that was actually a bonus in addition to picking up the 3rd pick. I've rather depleted Bridgeport's D with Wishart and Hickey moving out, so I'll likely need to address that.

Minnesota GM steps down before start of 2012-2013 season!
September 30, 2013

Fletcher has been the GM for the Wild since 2009

Yes, you read the title correct, Chuck Fletcher is leaving his position as general manager for the Minnesota Wild. This came as a surprise after the famous signings of Ryan Suter and Zach Parise that Fletcher brought in in an attempt to make the playoffs. We asked Fletcher, through conference call, why he decided to pass on the reigns to the Wild franchise and told us:

"I feel tired. I have tried for years to get this team to be playoff caliber, and now that I have finally done it, I want someone else to lead them. I have already recommended a great guy to replace me."

That man is Dan Murray, GM to the Halifax Mooseheads. He lead Halifax to 2nd in their division and a deep playoff run last season. He also orchestrated the trade that brought Nathan Mackinnon to Halifax from Baie-Comeau. He has built a team that might surprise many this season with star Nathan Mackinnon and rising stars in Zachary Fucale and Jonathan Drouin. Dan had this to say on becoming a GM in the NHL:

It's going to be a lot harder, that I know. I only started two years ago in the QMJHL and now I've been invited to join the big leagues. It's a dream come true."

The Wild look in good shape this season and their prospect pool runs deep, both in forwards and defensemen. The one area Minnesota will be looking to be improving in is goaltending. Though more in the future sense. Murray told us:

Chuck traded away our best goaltending prospect in Matt Hackett when we received Jason Pominville. And Backstrom and Harding are 34 and 28 respectively, so we could be looking to improve on that during the draft.

Murray did not comment about the rumors of possibly trading Devin Setoguchi that have arisen lately. Here is the Opening night line-up for the Wild against the Colorado Avalanche:

Minnesota Wild 2012-2013

Zach Parise "A" (90) - Mikko Koivu "C" (86) - Jason Pominville (85)
Dany Heatley (85) - Charlie Coyle (78) - P. M. Bouchard (82)
Cal Clutterbuck (79) - Kyle Brodziak (80) - Devin Setoguchi (82)
Mike Rupp (76) - Matt Cullen (80) - Torrey Mitchell (78)

Ryan Suter "A" (88) - Tom Gilbert (83)
Brett Clark (79) - Jonas Brodin (78)
Clayton Stoner (75) - Jared Spurgeon (77)

Niklas Backstrom (85)
Josh Harding (80)

Scratches: Justin Falk (74), Carson McMillan (73) ​

Let Lindback walk, Tender and trade Smyth... And then keep Hedman, offer 6M.

Try to get assets for your RFA's, you can low ball, it does work.

 

[pensrule2011]

Try to get assets for your RFA's, you can low ball, it does work.

I was thinking of letting Lindback walk but then I realized I couldn't get a viable replacement in free agency so I signed him.

I bought out Ryan and traded away Curtis Lazar at the draft (80 overall, 26 year old, 4.5 gold stars) and a 3.5 prospect for the 7th overall pick and I was able to sign Moore, Smyth, and Hedman. I let Ceci walk and now I have 7 million in cap space so it all worked out in the end but Thanks for the advice

New dynasty to avoid the cap problem? Good luck!

Nah just wanted to start a new one since the Tampa Bay one is almost over, and Thanks

So right now I'm in April 2017 in my Ducks GM... every time I try to simulate past April 27th, the whole console freezes.

EVERY TIME

I installed the game, too, so I don't see how it could be a problem with the disk.
Even tried simming through the calender screen, it still froze. **** this piece of **** game.
Tried taking out all of my custom music. Didn't work.

Looks like this short-lived Ducks GM is over. It was about to get really interesting, too.

Damn, sorry to hear that. :S

Hope it doesn't happen to me...

 

[Deku]

Damn, sorry to hear that. :S

Hope it doesn't happen to me...

I'm really annoyed about it. I tried like ten times, tried a couple methods to get around it and nothing worked. So since I can't play any further, here's everything that happened before the freeze that I haven't mentioned yet:


The 2014-15 season was awful, we finished dead last. Everyone was disappointing except for Getzlaf (73 points), Mason Raymond (46 pts), Trevor Daley (43 points). At the trade deadline I made this trade:



RW Bobby Ryan (87 overall, 28 years old)




D Jonas Brodin (80, 21 years old, 4 yellow stars)
2015 1st Round Pick


At the draft, Boston won the lottery and moved up to 1st overall. We picked second and got a two-way defenseman named Alexandre Carrier. When drafted, he was 74 overall, 18 years old, with 4.5 yellow stars. Then in the offseason I signed Grant Clitsome and two prospects:

Mike Vlajkov - 55 overall, 20 years old, 3.5 yellow stars
RW Luke Bertolucci - 74 overall, 20 years old, 3.5 yellow stars

I tried to make a couple big trades but couldn't get anything to work. 2015-16 lines:


Mason Raymond (80) - Ryan Getzlaf (88, C) - Corey Perry (87, A)
Alexander Steen (82) - Sam Reinhart (85) - Adam Erne (81)
Roope Talaja (79) - Matt Beleskey (82) - Ben Hanowski (78)
Devante Smith-Pelly (76) - Nick Bonino (79) - Kyle Palmieri (79)

Trevor Daley (85, A) - Luca Sbisa (84)
Jason Demers (84) - Jonas Brodin (81)
Cam Fowler (81) - Grant Clitsome (78)

Frederik Andersen (83) - Jonas Hiller (82)


Then we finished 5th last, but there were some positives. Getzlaf had 87 points, 2nd in the NHL. Reinhart had a good year with 64 points, and Adam Erne won the Calder Trophy with 27 goals, 48 points, +15. Jonas Brodin was also a fantastic rookie - 22 points, +16. best plus/minus on the team.

With the 5th overall pick we took left winger Dylan Morrisonn 5th overall (61, 20 years old, 3.5 yellow stars) who was extremely disappointing. Weak draft year.

Then I went on a trading spree:



RW Corey Perry (88, 30 years old)
G Frederik Andersen (82, 26 years old, 3.5 yellow stars)




LW Jeff Skinner (88, 24 years old, 4.5 yellow stars)




D Cam Fowler (84, 24 years old, 4.5 yellow stars)




RW Brendan Gallagher (82, 24 years old, 3.5 yellow stars)




LW Alex Steen (81, 32 years old)




2017 2nd Round Pick


In free agency I signed G Allen York (84, 27 years old) for 3 years, $4.925M.

2016-17 lineup:

Jeff Skinner (88) - Ryan Getzlaf (88, C) - Adam Erne (83)
Mason Raymond (80) - Sam Reinhart (89, A) - Brendan Gallagher (82)
*Luke Bertolucci (79) - Matt Beleskey (82) - Ben Hanowski (79)
Devante Smith-Pelly (79) - Nick Bonino (78) - Kyle Palmieri (81)

Luca Sbisa (85) - Jason Demers (86)
Trevor Daley (85, A) - *Alexandre Carrier (83)
Jonas Brodin (82) - Mat Clark (79)

Allen York (84) - Jonas Hiller (82)

* indicates rookie


Then at the trade deadline:



RW Sam Faulk (58, 21 years old, 3.5 yellow stars)
LW Josh Brittain (73, 27 years old)




D Rusty Klesla (82, 34 years old)


We finished 6th with 91 points, 40-31-11. Skinner finished second in goals (43), behind only Ovechkin (44). Getzlaf tied 4th for points (78). Carrier had a brilliant rookie season, scoring 48 points while being +8. He was 4th in the defenseman scoring race. Both of our goalies were pretty good.


Playoff lines:

Jeff Skinner (88) - Ryan Getzlaf (88, C) - Adam Erne (83)
*Luke Bertolucci (79) - Sam Reinhart (89, A) - Brendan Gallagher (82)
Mason Raymond (80) - Matt Beleskey (82) - Ben Hanowski (79)
Devante Smith-Pelly (79) - Nick Bonino (78) - Kyle Palmieri (81)

Trevor Daley (85, A) - Jason Demers (86)
Jonas Brodin (82) - *Alexandre Carrier (83)
Luca Sbisa (85) - Rusty Klesla

Allen York (84) - Jonas Hiller (82)

* indicates rookie


In round one we beat San Jose in seven games:

Game 1: 3-0 Sharks Win
Game 2: 4-2 Ducks Win
Game 3: 5-3 Sharks Win
Game 4: 6-0 Ducks Win
Game 5: 4-3 Ducks Win
Game 6: 2-0 Sharks Win
Game 7: 4-2 Ducks Win

Reinhart had 10 points in 7 games. And I don't even know who we would play in the second round, because that's where my save file broke. No matter what I do I cannot get past April 27th, 2017.

Might start a Vancouver GM tomorrow.

 

[keeganr]

Finally back from camping, so I am going to begin the playoffs tonight.

@Deku Scrub: Sucks that it glitched out like that, I was really enjoying reading about the gm mode.

 

[ChibiPooky]

So right now I'm in April 2017 in my Ducks GM... every time I try to simulate past April 27th, the whole console freezes.

Looks like this short-lived Ducks GM is over. It was about to get really interesting, too.

I had that happen once too, don't remember how I fixed it though. It's something to do with players playing in the game who shouldn't or something else that generates a database conflict IIRC.

 

[OttawaOilers]

@washcaps - GM JaredCowenFan expressed what he wanted after a horrible 4-15 start for his Capitals. "I want to get younger.". Pretty plain and simple.

@washcaps - These are the players over 30+ age on the team: Ryan Whitney (32), Marc Methot (30), Mike Green (30), Lee Stempniak (32), Mike Ribeiro (35), Vinny Lecavalier (35), Jarret Stoll, (33), Jay McClement (32), Brooks Liach (32).

@washcaps - He has expressed great attention on wanting to trade his older players. He wants to trade Vincent Lecavalier asap. He said no one on this team in Untouchable, even maybe talking about Alex Ovechkin. Anything that can help the team in the future, or seriously now, he will consider.

 

[OttawaOilers]

@washcaps - 2 players have the Capitals attention. ST. Louis' Sam Reinahart (4 1/2) and Toronto's Austin Lotz (3 1/2).

 

[OttawaOilers]

@washcaps - Jonathan Toews is still in UFA Free Agency. This could get very interesting.

 

[Deku]

I had that happen once too, don't remember how I fixed it though. It's something to do with players playing in the game who shouldn't or something else that generates a database conflict IIRC.

Thing is, there are no games on the day where it gets stuck. It's right at the end of round one... there might be some AHL playoff games but my team doesn't have one. I can sim up to April 27th, but when I try to go past it, the whole console freezes. I think where it freezes is where round two is supposed to start.

At Turn of the year Wild sit at 4th in the West, despite injuries
January 1, 2013

Danny Dekeyser was acquired from the Detroit Red Wings a few days ago

The Minnesota Wild are having a great season so far posting a record of 20-14-3. This is surprising to the fact that injuries have occurring to some key players, mostly defensemen. Jonas Brodin and Jared Spurgeon both are out for a significant amount of time. Spurgeon broke his leg blocking a shot in a game against the Avalanche two months ago and won't be back until mid-February. Brodin has shown signs of Post-Concussion Syndrome and isn't expected back for another two months along with Mike Rupp who was diagnosed with the same symptoms.

After the loss of Brodin, General Manager Dan Murray realized he had to bring someone in make up for the lost offense. So he called up Ken Holland seeing if he had anyone he was willing to trade. Dan Murray told us:

"I was looking to see if Ken was interested in dealing one of his d-men and he told me about this college player he just picked up and that I could have him for the right price.

Well that college player was Danny Dekeyser who was ranked the best unsigned college prospect. He had just finished his third year a Western Michigan and showed great skill and potential that Wild could use especially for an offense ranked 15th and a Powerplay ranked 24th. He played his first game for the Wild, Monday in a 4-2 win over the Oilers. He played 15 minutes and registered 1 shot. Danny will probably be playing on the top powerplay pairing with Ryan Suter for the next couple games.
