Jeff Skinner - Tage Thompson - Alex Tuch
Casey Mittelstadt - Dylan Cozens - Jack Quinn
JJ Peterka - Christian Dvorak - Victor Olofsson

X - Tyson Jost, Noah Gregor

Mattias Samuelsson - Rasmus Dahlin

Connor Hellebuyck
Eric Comrie


Announcement: We have signed captain Kyle Okposo to a 1 year, $2.5m deal with a $500K bonus when we win the cup. We have also signed defenseman Ryan Johnson to his ELC.

Sabres likely done. We were looking at swapping Olofsson with another forward but we will let Olofsson score his goals and re-evaluate during the season if the opportunity arises as the interest wasn't there during the offseason.

Fixed our biggest problem by adding Hellebuyck for next year. Comrie will serve as backup to start while Levi gets tons of games in as our AHL starter. He will be up during part of the season to learn from Helle and build his confidence at the NHL level.

Pleased to add Murphy to address our next biggest issue on the right side. Will bring a lot of experience and a nice defensive minded RHD partner for Power. Probably still our weakest position going forward but will focus on adding to our D pipeline to improve the depth beyond our "big 3" D - the addition of Johnson to the pool is a nice start and he will likely be a frequent contributor to our team this year even.

Our forwards remains young and stacked, just with the addition of a solid 3C in Dvorak to take faceoffs and contribute to our team in all-situations. With Savoie, Kulich, Rosen, Ostlund and more on the way, we should be set on offense for years to come.

Sabres for Cup 2024!

[SRHRangers]

Will listen to offers on Laine, Roslovic, Kuraly, Forbort, Boqvist, Bean.

Will retain if needed.

Also would discuss my prospects for prospect swaps.

Looking for 2024 draft picks.

 

[Gecklund]

And with that the entry draft is complete. Is there interest in FA?

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Chicago would definitely be interested in FA or we're under the cap floor but let's see if enough people are still engaged

 

[SRHRangers]

I'm in for FA

 

[LetsGoBruins97]

In for FA!

 

[Gecklund]

Alright cool I’d need a bit of help. I can take all forwards but if someone can help and take D/G.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

I can take D/G if nobody else can. Just time difference will make it a little tricky

 

[Gecklund]

now done with their roster


Eklund-Couture-Zetterlund
Peterson-J Staal-Barabanov
Kaut-Sturm-Chmelevski
Kunin-Lorentz-Lindblom
Hoffman, Labanc

Knyzhov-Gudbranson
Thrun-Benning
Vlasic-Ferraro
MacDonald

Kahkonen
Nedeljkovic

This roster is very bad and will give us a good chance at the top pick next year. We will have Staal, Barabanov as the big pieces next year to sell at the deadline.

Top prospects:
C: Bordeleau, Bystedt, Sawchyn, Lipinski
W: Eklund, Rohrer, Gritsyuk, Michkov, Cristall, Hameenaho, Gushchin, Lund
D: Ceulemans, Shakir, Thrun, Vilen, Orlov, Cagnoni, Dragecevic, Havelid, Laroque
G: Makaniemi, Mann, Chrona, Beaupit

Our prospect pool is deep at hell though

 

[Gecklund]

also done with their roster


Miller-Lindholm-Toffoli
Huberdeau-Kadri-Mangiapane
Pelletier-Backlund-Coronato
Ruzicka-Studnicka-Coleman

Kylington-Andersson
Hanifin-Weegar
Zadorov-Holl

Markstrom
Vladar
Wolf

We feel while this roster massively underperformed last year, they will bounce back this year. We added JT Miller to add more offense to the roster. We also will see some big improvement with the young guys. We also won’t keep trying to ride Markstrom when he’s not playing well.

 

[LetsGoBruins97]

have signed Ivan Barbashev to a 3-year $12,750,000 contract.

 

[trick9]

Have signed forward Michael Bunting to 5-year contract worth $20,000,000 ($4.000m AAV) and forward Pius Suter to 3-year contract worth $6,600,000 ($2.200m AAV).​

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

are delighted to announce the signings of the below:

Evan Rodrigues - 3 x $3.5m
Ryan O'Reilly - 1 x $6m
Jonathan Drouin - 1 x $2.5m
Ryan Reaves - 1 x $1.5m
Milan Lucic - 2 x $2m
James Reimer - 2 x $2m

Rodrigues can slot into out top 6 whilst the youngsters progress, O'Reilly can help educate Bedard on being an all round C, Drouin can get a chance to reclaim his reputation and Reaves and Lucic can help protect the youngsters.

LOL at literally all of these contracts. Just because only one team offers a guy a deal doesn't mean they have to sign it.

 

[Gecklund]

LOL at literally all of these contracts. Just because only one team offers a guy a deal doesn't mean they have to sign it.

I do not have time to sit here and negotiate with it. None of them are bad at all. If you didn’t like it and wanted to take time to volunteer and help you could have.

Also would like to thank everyone for participating in this game. I know a few tried to ruin it but felt overall it was pretty successful. This will likely be my retirement from running GM games at least for a while. Forgot how many keyboard warriors who won’t volunteer to help but have no issue criticizing others for helping come out of the woodworks.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Unfortunately sometimes people take these games way too seriously. They’re meant to be fun and a way for those who maybe aren’t as interested in the playoffs if their team is out or during the summer when nothing is going on.
