Need a RD?

One of Gubranson, Peeke, or Boqvist can be available.

Also, Forbort or Roslovic can be had and would be willing to retain to get more value.

Montreal has announced the signing of Pierre-Luc Dubois to an 8 year 7M AAV contract!

Actively looking to move Rem Pitlick, Mike Hoffman and Joel Armia. I will attach futures.

Open to seeing what moving down in the draft would bring in for those looking. Send an offer. Would actually prefer if moving down could net a forward instead of more picks, but nothing is off the table.
 
If Chicago do acquire Parayko he will be available to trade
Players who are claimed off waivers must be offered to the other teams that placed an original claim before that player can be traded.

For example, if a player is placed on waivers and three teams place a claim on him. The team lowest in the standards gets first dibs. If they then decide to trade the player, he would first have to be passed on by the other two teams. If a team places a claim, he’d be theirs. If not, he can be traded.

So nah. He can’t be traded because I will be taking him for free on SJ.

By the way that was taken from the waiver rules of NHL. I didn’t make that up.

That's fine, we'll keep him for a while and he can enjoy the pizzas here.

Anyone interested in a lightly used Seth Jones? Anyone? Hello?

Roster update:

We have signed Alex DeBrincat to 8-year extension (8.500m AAV)


We are also placing following players to waivers:

- Colton Parayko - 7 years left - 6.500m AAV
- Torey Krug - 4 years left - 6.500m AAV
- Nick Leddy - 3 years left - 4.000m AAV
- Marco Scandella - 1 year left - 3.200m AAV
- Jordan Binnington - 4 years left - 6.000m AAV


With the lack of offers, we now face the tough situation of forcing some roster changes to try and kickstart our rebuild. We are hoping to find new homes for these players in a more fitting environment.
This kind of thing is absurd and ruins the game.
 
:leafs are still open to moving TJ Brodie, and also looking for a legit #1 goaltender.

:flyers are open to anything, but we expect fair value.

Won't be around tonight as I just got home from softball and I'm in a ton of pain, but will be around all day and night tomorrow.

How does this ruin the game? Anaheim grabbing Krug and Chicago adding Parayko?

I get it, perhaps it's a bad look to put all these players there at once. But like mentioned before there were no offers on any of these players and i'm running out of the retention slots so moving any of these players would have been impossible because they all have trade protection and likely aren't waiving them for rebuilders. Atleast one of them refused to waive. I have younger D's that we want to insert into our line-up straight away and this is really the only way to do it. Leddy will likely stay on our roster short-term if he isn't claimed but Scandella for example is going straight to the AHL if he isn't claimed and that's why he's there. Jordan Binnington is there because his career is heading downhill fast and i wanted to see if there is a team who value experience in goal. He has years left in his contract and NTC to boot and has been among the worst starters for few years now.

While unprecedented and unlikely, considering it is a condensed “off season”, one could argue over time a few of those player would have been given the McDonagh treatment.

In principle, the impact would be reflected in future UFA and RFA negotiations and how long high end players would demand NMCs and likely higher AAVs moving forward. (Which will have no consequences in this 1 year game)
 
After consideration, Chicago rescind their claim for Parayko. Krug could actually get waived but Parayko is a bit ridiculous. I think he should clear for the sake of the game.

I'll respond to you on here too as it's not really anything i need to hide.

It's very noble of you to offer to trade for him instead but the problem is the same one that eventually led to me waiving him. He has an NTC so trading him to you isn't an option, as is the case for most of the rebuilders. As for any contending or bubble team, again, zero offers to take him for nothing.

He means waiving all those players

I mentioned that maybe it's a bad look to waive those players all at once. But again, ruin this game how? Parayko and Krug being claimed and 3 others likely going unclaimed... how does that change the outcome of this game?

We're going to look pretty stupid when the blues waive parayko and krug in the fall.

How does that make any sense? Blues aren't rebuilding in real life. They also still employ that same GM who signed those awful contracts. He's never going to waive them because of how bad it would look.

I wish there were dinosaur GM's living in the past in these games too. I think i would have gotten a 1 trade offer for either of those players then.
