GM Game #5 by RR and IR4

A scary image indeed: Crosby has new winger in Heatley

The Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks pulled off a blockbuster early this morning, with Pittsburgh sending C Jordan Staal and D Zybanek Michalek to the San Jose Sharks for 50 goal scorer Dany Heatley and a 2011 1st rnd pick.

This will be the first time Sidney Crosby has had a big time scorer on his wing consistently, as he is likely to play alongside Heatley and Chris Kunitz

Confirmed.

It was difficult to trade a premier goal scorer like Heatley, but we needed a #2 d-man. In this deal, we recieved such a player, along with a premier lock down #3 center, who puts up second line numbers. We feel that David Booth and Jordan Staal will provide more than enough scoring to make up for Heatley, while those two and Michalek will bring much more in terms of defense and mobility. No doubt Heatley will look excellent next to the league's premier playmaking center, but this is a deal we make every time.

Our line-up is now:

Booth-Thornton-Setoguchi
Marleau-Staal-Mitchell
Clowe-Couture-Pavelski
McGinn-Nichol-Ferrerio

Boyle-Murray
Michalek-Braun
Vlasic-Demers

Niittymaki
Stalock

We also have 4 million in cap space should we look t upgrade in free agency.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Since Hawks have been unable to acquire a 2nd line C

We are now looking for top line LW or 2nd line LW

Trade block includes
LW Kyle Beach
D Dylan Olsen
Hawks 1st in 2011
Thrashers 2nd in 2011
Flames 2nd in 2011

Draft Help

Can someone run it tonight? If not, will reschedule for tomorrow night.

 

[T_Cage]

i actually mistyped its 2 years. I had offered a bit more, but this is the deal that was accepted. So I'm not complaining

Oh ok. 2yr actually isnt so bad (considering the 2nd is 1way). I commonly give a little on fringe guys when the team is willing to offer 1way...

I can do it if you want

Looking to move Jiri Hudler for a VERY cheap 3rd line center or #5 D, or a decent prospect.

SEND YOUR DRAFT LISTS TO T_Cage

That would be great! I'll forward you the three draft lists I've received. Draft order should be up-to-date in the Draft and Trade thread.

Thanks, TC.

Thanks, TC.

We will have to make sure that T-Cage is aware of draft picks that will be traded before and during the draft.

It might be a good idea if GMs could inform T-Cage since he will have to put even more time on this if he has to check in the thread before every selection to make sure there is not a last minute trade.

According to cap geek, Heatley's NMC is still valid. So unless someone can disprove that (good luck, it's on ****ing capgeek), the trade is vetoed.

2nd Round Pick 2011

 

[Backstrom #19]

Florida has decided to hang on to the 5th overall pick...We feel there are 5 players in this draft that are head and shoulders above everyone else, so it's not worth trading down.

Extremely excited to be getting one of those five players.

There has been some interest in McDonald, Boyes, Colaiacovo, and Jackman, but no offer is interesting at this point. Keep them coming.

While I can easily see your top 4, I would be curious to know who is the 5th guy who is head and shoulders above the others.

I guess I will have my answer tonight!

Murphy, who is a big pile of average in my mind.

It's not him.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

It's not him.

If it's Saad, I don't agree with your statement. Unless of course that you are talking about being NHL ready. In terms of potential, it's not the case (even if he'll be a very good player).
