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

[Addison Rae]

Bolster their top 6 with big signing.

Calgary Flames have landed Alexei Ponikarovsky. 5 years 27.5M He'll line up with Rene Bourque on our 2nd line. We feel we have one of the strongest Top 6's in the league now with Semin, Iginla, Koivu, Bourque and Ponikarovsky... One more addition to the Top 6 to come.

LOL Poni with a higher cap hit then Luongo

LOL Poni with a higher cap hit then Luongo

Hey thats just cause his contract is front loaded

We overpaid but in a FA game world, Redden gets league max, Hamhuis gets 5.5M, Poni gets 5.5 M




Buy out the contract of Daymond Langkow, 4.5 Million for a 3rd line center who isn't producing anymore isn't the way our team is going. We'll take the $1,708,333 Cap hit instead.

 

[IslesRock4]

Pretty nice top 6 there TLinden.

Morrow-Richards-Eriksson
Neal-Ribeiro-Horton

I like mine too.

[hi]

If anyone has any 3rd/4th line grinders available through trade, send me some offers.

 

[New York RKY]

Announce the signing of former Tampa Bay Lightning players: Goaltender Antero Nittymaki and Defenseman Kurtis Foster.

Foster 2 years 4M. Kurtis's greatly improved play and 40+ points show he is back for good in the NHL after his injury.

Nittymaki 2 years 3.6 M. Antero showed he is capable of handling a #1 job in the NHL and he'll do that in Calgary, playing 1a, with the young Cory Schneider ready to take 20-30 starts.

All others have not received any offers.

TORONTO SIGNS TWO

The Leafs have signed Marek Svatos to a 1yr 2M deal. The tyoungster has hit a career snag, but management is confident he can turn it around and fight for a Top 6/9 spot

The Buds have also signed Alex Tanguay to a 2yr 6M contract, adding a former PPG player who can play on the top 6.

Toronto is still searching for a D or 2, and looking at acquiring a #3G that can chip in when needed

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

MZA is going to sign with a Southeast team tonight

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

MZA has signed

I will let the team announce the details

I personally think I did well for my client in the negotiations

 

[T_Cage]

Grabovski on the block, looking to get a D-man back.

Also might take on a salary dump if those of you who paid for those bloated FA contracts *cough*Poni*cough* need cap relief.
