Christian Hanson is already property of Phoenix.. was drafted before i even became a GM, so i've had him for years... But atleast i get a free scouting report on who all is interested in him

Edit: Hanson drafted 6th round - 191st Overall by Phoenix in 2005.

maybe i dont understand the process, why i am not in the bidding for Walsky? did i not bid the max too? he was #1 on my list, so its not like i didnt give him priority lovin?

Sebastien Piche (STL, VAN) - $650K

My offer for Piche was within 10% of the top offers ($600,000). AFAIK, that should put me into the final round of bidding for his services. But if not, no biggie.

 

[Ville Isopaa]

I think you got Colorado and Columbus mixed up. COL is Colorado. CLB is Columbus. Colorado did not bid on Walsky or Hanson.

ONLY 18 is what is shocking.... LOL

Most likely will be a auction between the two.

Alexander Salak (STL, DET)

salak was draft eligible and drafted by tampa (i believe). not an ufa prospect.

What Reggie made a mistake,...he should take a lead and pay a hefty fine

[Brock]

How will the auction work again, out of curiosity? I can't remember how it was done in previous years, dice roll, names out of a hat?

 

[SPG]

Looks alright for NYR. My team is listed next to the three players here that I put a max bid on.

Out of curiousity (no rush by any means) - when will the lotteries be held?

I want to applaud Hasnain for a job well done, on both moderating free agency AND with the moves the Islanders have made this offseason... the Atlantic is going to be even thougher next season.

 

[Ohio Jones]

I think you got Colorado and Columbus mixed up. COL is Colorado. CLB is Columbus. Colorado did not bid on Walsky or Hanson.

Columbus did not make an offer for Walsky or Hanson (who is ineligible) either, so I'm not sure what happened there.

That said, kudos to Hasnain for negotiating this minefield.

 

[Hossa]

For the "auctions" for players not at the max (eg. Sebastien Piche), is there a second round of bidding or simply a lottery at the current number and term?

Simply a lottery...as for the auction..I will be randomly set bidding team for players into excel...lock the excel...will ask Reggie to pick a number say 1-18 for the Leafs goalie...once he emails the number...I will forward the password to him and will determine the winner.

Darn it. I forgot to check this past draft list obvioulsy. Steal by Tampa with that selection.

 

[Tampa GM]

I hope so, only time can tell though .

 

[Ohio Jones]

I think the term "auction" is misleading -- "lottery" might be more accurate, since apparently there's no further bidding to be done on these players.

Was thinking the same thing when I saw the thread title this morning...

Unless the "auction" is how much of a donation you are willing to make to the Swingstein Retirement Fund

Except for Cowick and Piche since they aren't at rookie max.

But I will withdraw my bid for Corey Cowick since i am in the lottery for Ambuhl and Bozek and only have 3 open spots (at this moment) before i hit 80 and i want to give myself atleast one spot of breathing room.

I don't know if you can withdraw a FA bid this late into it...
