Similar questions for Blair Betts and UDFA Scott Arnold.

Thanks a ton, Jon and Matthew - this is a riDONKulous amount of work.

 

[MatthewFlames]

Thanks so much to everyone involved with putting this together. It's greatly appreciated.

Welcome!

1 - Fixed.
2 - Glitch in the file didn't transfer him to the Master list. But yours was the only offer.
3 - Fixed.
4 - Mitchell has had several similar offers. He is however not the top ranked player in the highest several bids. Asham is awaiting the results of the Lombardi signing as you've mentioned. As I've mentioned there are several players still in limbo and not listed yet.

Welcome.

Betts has a superior offer to yours by some way. But he's lower on the rankings. So he's waiting to see how things shake out.

Arnold is going to lottery.

All good - missed seeing Arnold, even ran a search, must have typed it incorrectly. :/

If it makes things easier, I can step out of the Betts discussions, having secured a number of other useable dept forwards.

Just an FYI just pulled Dallas from all 2nd round bidding (aside from UDFAs) I don't intend on paying the cost that I would for any of those guys( heck I offer Kristian 4mill over 2 years and he missed a year and no NHL contract) so I'm not even gunna add to my already crazy offers for guys

The St. Louis Blues choose to match this offer, thereby commiting themselves to keeping Mr. Frolik on the team for the duration of the season, with the exception of trading him to San Jose. Despite his struggles in Chicago, he has scored 20 goals 3 times and is only 24. Hopefully the Hawks move him to a lottery team where he can get ample PP time.

Is this still an option? It is no longer an option in the NHL, and I thought we followed suit. Not a huge deal, just curious.

Nobody wants to sign Ville Leino? C'mon people, at least he is better than Michael Frolik!

If you'll take a 4th rounder ill gladly sign him on my team

Oh no. Sorry I had missed Arnold. So thanks for the heads up. I added him back in!

Hold tight there young one. Let me finish the process so u can see where you are. You may still have signed players

Stand by. This is gonna be interesting!

But first.... The beach..

I don't want to get rid of him, I want him to either sign a long-term, favorable deal or to get good compensation back.

 

[Brent Burns Beard]

Some UDFA mistakes:

Beau Schmitz
Mitchell Heard
Jordan Martinook
Darren Kramer
Ben Blood

All of these guys, if not more, can clearly be found on either the Roster or Prospect list.

i might have missed him on the updated list, but i drafted this guy in the 5th or 6th round, hands off!

Nope. This has come up the last couple of years and each time it was confirmed that we match the NHL rules. So in other words a matched RFA player cannot be traded to anyone - including the team that made the original RFA offer.

Are you allowed to withdraw an offer? All offers are final no? Ones you've submitted could still be good enough to sign players depending on what happens with others and their priority groups.

Not really withdrawing offers just no point in being in the running as I'm not bump in up anyone I offered huselius 4mill each year wouldnt be
Shocked to see 4years at 4.5 to 5 and I don't see that viable for me (like all other offers)

 

[Brent Burns Beard]

Al Montoya (PIT) 995,000 x 4 FLA - No Compensation

PIT matches without hesitation.

 

[Brent Burns Beard]

grrrrrr .. missed this guy too!

Alex Friesen 900,000 x 3 FLA, MTL

 

[Vagrant]

I was also in on Ryan Lasch. His offer of 1.755 for 4 years was mine as well.

Thanks for the clarification. Missed that, but it doesn't impact my decision at all.

 

[BlueAndWhite]

Just a quick note on John Mitchell. I had an offer for him with him being my #1 choice.

I'll assume the other offers that were lower ranked were just plain better ? Just checking.

Never though I'd see the day where multiple GMs were so eager for the services of John Mitchell.

Thanks again.

ftfy.

 

[Tampa GM]

When is it possible to send in offers for players who hasnt signed anywhere yet? Is that at the same time as round 2 or will that be round 3 or something?
