GM Game #7 by 79AM, RR, and IR4

[Dichow Stopper]

It should show the agent they are dedicated to that player

I could see the guy say : "Hey, you traded for my rights so I will not test the UFA market".

NOT!

That would be an exception.

 

[Kessel>Seguin +]

Personally, I think it is a dirty play on your part.

I dont know what was said between you two but in a deal with a impending UFA i think it would your professional duty to inform the GM you were working with they were trading for the rights to Jokinen

If you did not state in the trade the trade was so and so for the rights to jokinen, i feel that is sneaky and deceitful on your part.

Obviously the other GM should have done his research and been aware of this but this is questionable GMing on your part, IMO

I'm awesome like that

 

[Dichow Stopper]

*** VERY IMPORTANT : FREE AGENCY ***

Free agency will officially starts at noon ET on Friday. Discussions with players agents will be allowed at 6PM ET tomorrow (Thursday) but of course, there will be no announcement before Friday at noon ET.

[Backlund]

Still taking offers on Mikko Koivu

 

[IslesRock4]

We all make mistakes. I once signed Wade Redden to a $10.5M/year contract or something.

All I can say was I assumed (I guess wrongly) that he knew he was trading for an impending UFA. There was no deceit on my part, and I definitely wasn't trying to be a dirty player, especially since he messaged me with the offer. I shouldn't assume he (or anyone else) knows that for that matter.

 

[RR]

Wow. After telling me why I would do this trade, and pretty much confirming it.

I'm getting ********** over today.

No, you're not. I asked if you're PM was to announce both trades. It's not my job to point a NTC.

We've all screwed up before and will again. I've found when you're on the receiving end of a favorable deal like this, better not to rub the other player's face in it.

 

[IslesRock4]

Damn, I gotta sit back and read through FA Game #11 again. Takes forever, but if you have 3 hours with nothing to do, it's a good idea.

Chicago Blackhawks Draft recap

1st round - 25th overall
G Jack Campbell

Hawks got the prospect we coveted in this years draft. A longterm goalie we view as a franchise netminder. With Niemi and Enroth in nets in Chicago , Martin Jones in AHL and Anders Nilsson in Europe the future is bright in net.

1st round - 29th overall
RW Tyler Toffoli

We are pleased with being able to select Toffoli. With Kane and Hossa at RW with big club we can be patient with Toffoli's development. The kid has top 6 potential

1st round - 30th overall
RW Charlie Coyle

Another RW prospect. Coyle is an amazing skater and we view him as a RW equivlent of current Hawks prospect Billy Sweatt. We are very pleased that Coyle was still available with our pick

2nd round - 36th overall
D Stephen Johns

The Blackhawks feel we may have the biggest steal of this years draft. We have loved the development of Johns in US program and are happy with his plans to attend Notre Dame University. He will join fellow Blackhawk defensive prospect Joe Lavin on there blue line.

2nd round - 59th overall
LW Brendan Woods

The Blackhawks love the size and potential of Woods at LW. Over recent years we have begun to address the LW weakness (Historical weakness) of our organization with pick Kyle Beach and Billy Sweatt. We are very pleased to add Woods to our system. We have had plenty of chances to see him here in Chicago with his USHL team

Current prospects in system
LW Kyle Beach
LW Billy Sweatt
C Marcus Kruger
C Brandon Pirri
C David Pacan
C Byron Froese
RW Akim Aliu
D Dylan Olsen
D Nick Leddy
D Shawn Lalonde
D Simon Denis-Pepin
D Joe Lavin
D Blake Kessel (Acq NYI)
G Martin Jones (Acq LA)
G Anders Nillson (Acq NYI)

Current lineup

Troy Brouwer - Jonathan Toews - Patrick Kane
Brett Maclean (R) - Dave Bolland - Marion Hossa
Andrew Ladd - Victor Tikhonov - Jack Skille (R)
Byran Bickell (R) - Jake Dowell (R) - Tomas Kopecky

Duncan Keith - Matt Greene
Brian Campbell - Niklas Hjalmarsson
? - Brian Connelly (R)

Antti Niemi
Jhonas Enroth (R)

We will be fielding a young team after the cap situation forced us to move several players. After winning the Stanley Cup we feel we will be capable again and that the youth entering the lineup will help offset the loses. We also have alot of cap room for short term impact players and for longterm extensions next offseason for players such as Troy Brouwer.

We are planning to be fairly active come Free Agency

 

[T_Cage]

We all make mistakes. I once signed Wade Redden to a $10.5M/year contract or something.

Oh man, i remember that....what a bidding war over Redden, dont we all feel foolish now

 

[Backlund]

Oh man, i remember that....what a bidding war over Redden, dont we all feel foolish now

Lol I am willing to go that high for Kovalchuk but for Redden, what a joke.

 

[IslesRock4]

Two years ago when we didn't know Redden sucked, you would've been trying to sign him to a crazy deal as well.

 

[Backlund]

Martin Havlat - Mikko Koivu "C" - Guillaume Latrendresse
Tomas Fleischmann - Andrew Ebbett - Andrew Brunette "A"
Cal Clutterbuck - Kyle Brodziak - Anti Miettinen
Robbie Earl - James Sheppard - Derek Boogaard
Owen Nolan


Marek Zidlicky "A" - Cam Barker
Nick Schultz - Shane Hnidy
Greg Zanon - Brent Sopel

Niklas Backstrom
Josh Harding

The Minnesota Wild are going for a rebuild, we are planning to build our team into a highly offensive skilled team with 2 Way Defenceman. It will take a lot of training and signing but I believe that we can do it. So offer on anyone.

 

[Backlund]

Not really, I have never really been a big fan of Redden and always thought Chara was the better Dman.

 

[Backstrom #19]

Damn, I gotta sit back and read through FA Game #11 again. Takes forever, but if you have 3 hours with nothing to do, it's a good idea.

To bad all the good stuff got deleted out of those 4 threads.

I have Greg Zanon man, you have Michal Roszival.

 

[RR]

I have Greg Zanon man, you have Michal Roszival.

Say what? Who approved Roszival waiving his NTC? Takes two to approve and I never heard of a 2nd approval.

 

[Jamie Benn]

No, you're not. I asked if you're PM was to announce both trades. It's not my job to point a NTC.

Oh well, gotta update my roster again.

 

[IslesRock4]

I just looked at Part 3, which contained most of the madness. All I can say is holy ****!

 

[Kessel>Seguin +]

When can we find out if guys are retiring?

I have contract offers on Selanne and Niedermayer but was told the UFA agents would decide what they intend to do

 

[IslesRock4]

Something tells me this game is going to get epic in free agency.

 

[Kessel>Seguin +]

Obvisouly, mike rathje is hitting the open market (someone had to do it)

Something tells me this game is going to get epic in free agency.

 

[Jamie Benn]

John-Michael Liles is on the block, willing to take an overpaid player in return.

 

[Groin Of Bates]

Rumor:

going to make a big splash in UFA
