GM Game #5 by RR and IR4

[Regina Pat]

In talks with a team to acquire a #1 C for the 4th overall pick. Likely to be a Nugent-Hopkins/Larsson. We're aware this type of player could help us but we are chalked full of young talent and are needing some top tier talent to finish up this quick reload for next season.

Highly, Highly Unlikely.

 

[SixthSens]

Placing Jason Spezza on the block to see whats out there... serious inquries only, please. Offers start with a young top-six centre+.

 

[TLinden]

Doubt it
---------------------------

Jeez guys ever heard of fluffing up an asset?


OK people my 4th overall pick is almost a guarantee of one of Larsson, Nugent-Hopkins or Sean Couturier.

Better?

Expect a big move out of the Phoenix Coyotes before the draft.

It's almost a guarantee it will not be one of them!

 

[habsman56]

Hoping for more interest in Jiri Hudler. Only one team has shown interest.

Looking for a cheap 3rd line center.

 

[TLinden]

I'll avatar wager that Landeskog goes Top 3. Guy is legit.

Avs acquire Michalek, Ruutu, and Campoli



To COL: Milan Michalek, Jarkko Ruutu, Chris Campoli
To OTT: T.J. Galiardi, Troy Rutkowski, COL 2011 1st

Ahhhhhh! WTF are you doing to the Avs?

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Honestly, if I had to keep the 2nd overall, I was going with Landeskog even in front of Couturier so I agree with you.

However, I think that most people would go with the "Big 3".

Confirmed. It was hard to give up Milan, but his recent injury troubles were a bit concerning for us. We wish Milan, Jarkko and Chris all the best in Colorado, but we needed to shake up the culture around here in Ottawa, and we feel that we received a very nice return for our players.

Bull ****. That's practically stealing.

 

[TLinden]

Not to mention Ruutu is a UFA so it's Michalek + Campoli for a 1st 2011, Galiardi and Rutkowski.

Not to mention Campoli is ****, and Michalek isn't far off.

Ruutu was resigned, I forgot to mention. 2 years, $2.5M ($1.25M per).

 

[Dichow Stopper]

MADDEN, JANSSEN AND MCKENNA RE-SIGN

The New Jersey Devils have agreed to new contracts with John Madden, Cam Janssen and Mike McKenna.

Madden 1M$ for 1 year NTC
Janssen 1.4M$ for 2 years (700k per)
McKenna 550k for 1 year (two-way, 125k in the AHL)

 

[Regina Pat]

All I'll say is that you can expect the first Swedish First Overall since the great Mats Sundin.

 

[T_Cage]

:thrashers Re-sign some UFAs

Ben Eager- 2yrs 2M (975k, 1.025M)

Patrick Eaves 1yr 800k

Brent Sopel 3yrs 4.5M (1.5M per) NTC

We are now set to go shopping in FA, having about 24M to fill 5 roster spots

 

[Backlund]

I would probably take RNH or Couturier before him but its your choice.

 

[TLinden]

Stajan will go for cheap. A reliable 2nd liner.

 

[The Instigator]

If I had pick #1 I'd take RNH. He's freaking amazing.

 

[BillyShoe1721]

People are blowing the WJC way out of proportion. He's on pace for a 109 point season. I still think he's the best prospect in this draft. CSS has notably Pejorative Slured rankings.

 

[TBLbrian]

looking to make some more deals tonight

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Larsson is the right deal. You don't pass on the next Lidstrom. IMO, for the 2011 draft, there is Larsson and then, there are the others (Landeskog, Couturier and RNH).
