Islanders in trade talks with Florida and Montreal?

New York Islanders are rumored to be on market to make a move or two. They have started the season with 7-4-5 record and haven't scored in 3 games from previous 5 games. Now there are rumors saying that Islanders GM Anatsu Southfield may move some of his players. Rumored is that either or both center Brandon Sutter and d-man Cam Barker could be on move.

From what we have heard the main interest from Islanders could be some defenseman, like Keaton Ellerby, last draft's Islanders' first selection Alex Gudbranson's brother Erik or veteran player like Josh Gorges from Montreal. Also Islanders could want some forward to come also in deal. Wojtek Wolski, Sean Bergenheim, Ryan White being the top options for Southfield.

Trade could happen in any minute now when Islanders are frustrated for their play as for now. Team isn't winning right now. Is it Cup-hangover or what? That Southfield and his team is trying to solve.

Hello Everyone

Why is Nail Yakupov NOT considered a rookie?

Is there a roster update that may solve this?

This is quite annoying, Gee EA should get this right for NHL 13!

No idea.

No.

There is a thread to talk about NHL12. This is a thread to talk about the team you made in Be a GM.

MISSISSAUGA MAVERICKS
(45-29-8), 3rd East

Stanley Cup Or Bust!
Mavericks Break Loose In Final Period Of Regular Season, Look Ready For Flyers
The Mississauga News - Friday, April 17 2015

Mississauga defeated a mostly identical Flyers squad in last year’s second round, but breakout story Bobrovsky may shift the balance​

The last game of the 2014-15 Mavericks season has Mississauga fans excited for the playoffs. In what began as a ping pong match, each team trading goals 4-4 after 2, the Mavericks absolutely exploded for 5 goals in the first 9 minutes of the 3rd period, burying the Tampa Bay Lightning 9-4. Noted playoff performer Lars Eller put up a hat trick, hopefully a preview of the young Dane’s notorious playoff flourishing. Alex Avtsin, Jamie McBain and Justin Williams all had 3 points in the victory. The win cemented 3rd place in the Eastern Conference for the Mavericks, sending them to the playoffs for the third time in their 3 year in Mississauga, and their 98 points are the highest since moving from Carolina under the management of Julien Brisebois. Team defense was a big part of Mississauga’s success. The Mavs finished with a 24th ranked offense and subpar special teams, but excellent goaltending from Cam Ward and a 4th ranked Goals Against total were again the story this year. Left Wing Nail Yakupov continues to concern fans as the 2012 1st Overall pick is not putting up star numbers in his 3rd pro year. Still coach Kirk Muller says the team has no intention of giving up on Nail Yakupov, commends the young Russian tenacity and knack for doing the little things, and believes the offensive numbers will come.

The Mavs face off against a virtually identical Flyers team to the one that they eliminated in 6 games in last year’s 2nd round. The memorable high stick call with 0.6 seconds left in Game 6 sent the Flyers packing, and don’t think they’ve forgotten. Centre Brayden Schenn commented saying “We’re incredibly happy to get Mississauga in the first round. We have unfinished business with them. We got a shot at Game 6 overtime stolen from us, that series was still well within our reach. So yes, we’re angry, and yes, we’re going to use it.†One large improvement that might tip the scales less in Mississauga’s favour is the emergence of Sergei Bobrovsky. Bobrovsky was the Flyers goaltender last year, but turned heads with his play this year and makes the Flyers a whole different task despite being a virtually unchanged roster.

After losing in the Eastern Conference Finals to eventual the Stanley Cup Champion Senators, the Mavericks have their sights firmly set on the Stanley Cup. "We won't settle for anything less this year." Said Right Winger Justin Wiliams. "We were very close last year, we've made big strides as a club, and we all know this is our year to take the cup home."

Islanders have serious offer on the table from Canadiens

Our sources are saying that the New York Islanders and the Montreal Canadiens are close to make a big deal. It has been rumored that Islanders are looking for little change to their roster since season hasn't started as well as expected. Now the deal with the Habs seems like the best option.

"I will not comment anything to rumors. Only what I can say is that we are looking always on market if there is kind of deal what we like to do", said Islanders GM Southfield about rumors.

Offseason Report


The 2012-2013 Offseason for the New York Islanders was a very busy offseason, which is unusual. The Islanders General Manager is satisfied with the changes he has made. "I feel the changes I made to the squad has helped us in every direction. We gained a lot of young talent this year, which helps us greatly in the long run. I also added a much needed top pairing defender, which could be the breaking point of us making or not making the playoffs. But, time will tell."

Islanders in crisis, Antropov injured for 5-6 weeks, Morin for 9-10 weeks


New York Islanders got bad news in game against Detroit Red Wings. Center Nikolai Antropov and left winger Jeremy Morin both have an MCL sprain. Antropov is out for 5-6 weeks and Morin for 9-10. Islanders lost a game and are now 8-5-5 in this season. Their goal difference is only two goals, when scoring 39 and letting 37 against. Islanders are in crisis.

"Honestly, I don't know what to do now. Would it be a good to do a trade now? Could we get a one forward in trade? Perhaps, but what then when Morin and Antro come back? Don't know. We will meet with staff and try to find the best option to move forward", said Islanders GM Southfield.

The other problem is what to do for Cam Barker? Barker has been a healthy scratch for three games now in a row and he has been rumored to be traded.

"The situation in our defense hasn't changed. All our defensemen are in shape and we want to continue with them", said Southfield.

Islanders line-up now:

Ruslan Fedotenko - John Tavares - Michael Grabner
Matt Martin - Brandon Sutter - Rick Nash
Dwight King - Zenon Konopka - George Parros
Justin DiBenedetto - Michael Haley - Ben Smith

Andrew MacDonald - Travis Hamonic
Doug Murray - Chris Tanev

MISSISSAUGA MAVERICKS
2015 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals

Shut The Front Ward
An Astonishing 4 Shutout Wins Down The Flyers in 7
The Mississauga News - Friday, May 1, 2015

Justin Williams streak down the wing before sniping the 6th goal in an 11-0 Game 7 rout.​

The Mississauga Mavericks may have eliminated the Philadelphia Flyers in 7 games rather than 6 like last year, but anyone who watched the series would tell you that this years instalment was a much more convincing series win for Mississauga. In the final game last year, Philadelphia was sent home on a last second over turned goal, while this year, Mississauga scored 16 goals to the Flyers' 0 in the final two games of the series. Shockingly the dominant 11-0 and 5-0 wins were not the only clean sheets from goaltender Cam Ward, the Mavs two wins in Game 2 and 3 were both 2-0 victories, landing Ward a GAA of 1.38. Ward's 4 shutouts in a series is the NHL record, but the most shutouts in a post-seaon belongs to Martin Brodeur who blanked an opponent 7 times in 2003. While Ward was clearly the hero here, the Mavericks offense was firing on all cylinders. Justin Williams, acquired for his playoffs prowess, leads the team with 9 points and 6 goals. All of Zach Boychuk's 8 points were assists, Jeff Skinner notched 7, struggling Left Wing tandem started pulling their weight as Nail Yakupov and Brenden Morrow both put up seven 6, and the Danish centremen Lars Eller and (surprisingly) Peter Regin both sit at 5 points. Defenseman Dmitry Orlov was lost to injury 4 games into the series and will be out 9 weeks, Justin Faulk draws into the line-up.

The Mavs take on the 8th seeded Florida Panthers who eliminated the top team in the East, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in 6 games. The Panthers sport a line-up that doesn't exactly turn heads, with a group of forwards that would likely to be classified as "okay". The 1-2 punch of Tomas Plekanec and Stephen Weiss and a solid Top 4 defensive unit are the Panthers' strong points. The Mavericks will look to take advantage of young, brash, wildcard goaltender Jakub Markstrom.


MAVS win series 4-3
Game 1: 2-1 L OT
Game 2: 2-0 W
Game 3: 2-0 W
Game 4: 4-1 L

MISSISSAUGA MAVERICKS
2015 Eastern Conference Finals

Rangers Await
Staal Brothers To Clash Again After Mavs Defeat Panthers
The Mississauga News – Tuesday, May 12, 2015

After two more shutouts, Cam Ward is one away from tying Martin Brodeur’s record 7 shutouts.​

In 2003, Martin Brodeur shutout his opponent 7 times throughout 4 rounds of playoffs to win the Conn Smythe and the Stanley Cup. After only two rounds of playoffs, Mississauga’s Cam Ward sits at 6 shutouts, posting a 1.52GAA and .945sv%. Ward and his Mavericks return to the Eastern Conference finals after losing last season to the Ottawa Senators, and they hope this time things are different. Justin Williams continues to lead by example, sitting at 13 points in 12 games, Jeff Skinner and Zach Boychuk have put up 12 points, and the top pairing of Jamie McBain and Marc Staal have turned on the offense, notching 10 and 9 points respectively. Marc Staal faces his old team again. Two years ago after brothers Eric and Marc were traded for each other, their team faced each other in the first round of the 2013 playoffs, with Eric’s Rangers getting the last laugh. With that, and last years conference finals lose, fresh in their minds, the Mavericks know they will have to amp their game up even further to reach the finals. The Western Conference Finals see the 6th seeded Oilers and 8th seeded Red Wings clash, so the 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th seeds are unlikely group of 4 finalists, and the Mavericks have the distinct honour of being favourites.

Anyone know how to create draft-eligible prospects? Like Aberg, Forsberg, Hertl, etc.? I can create them but they end up going into free agency in BAGM. Even if I put them on their correct team in the player movement menu, they still end up in free agency, despite their ages. Anyone know any fixes? Please help.

I didn't realize the sticky was dead.

When making these guys make sure that young enough and also make sure their pro team is at none, put them on a random OHL team and your good to go

I'm fairly sure I've done that. I don't remember off the top of my head but I think the pro team part is set to Anaheim but blacked out. The "year drafted" option is set to undrafted..

EDIT: Also, do they have to be on a CHL team?

It doesn't have to be a CHL team no, it can be a Euro team as well. You have to lock in his lack of a pro team/undrafted status by right clicking. It took me forever to figure it out as well! good luck.

MISSISSAUGA MAVERICKS
2015 Eastern Conference Finals

Muller: "We Took Our Feet Off The Gas"
Mavericks Blow 3-0 Series Lead, Game 7 in Mississauga
The Mississauga News – Monday, May 25, 2015

Nail Yakupov has disappeared once again, going pointless in round 2, and struggling against the Rangers.​

Mississauga Mavericks coach Kirk Muller was livid after a 4-1 Game 6 loss in Manhattan. The Mavericks have blown 3 straight opportunities to eliminate the Rangers after going up 3-0 in what looked like a one-sided series. "We took our foot off the gas." said Muller. "We got comfortable with the lead, and we let them back in the series... It's just unacceptable." While Cam Ward is inching closer to historic numbers, the Mavericks offensive output is an equally large part of what brought the team this far in the post-season after struggling in the regular season. However, in the last 3 games, the Mavericks have only netted two goals, from Williams and from Jared Staal. "We're making Lundqvist look a thousand times better than he is" critiqued right winger Ben Smith. "Sure he's playing good hockey, and he's not easy to beat. But he's not seeing any quality shots from us. We just got lazy. That can't continue." Game 7 is in Mississauga with the Ranger hoping to add their names to the list of teams to pull of the rare 3-0 series comeback, while the Mavericks hope to prevent what has been a successful season so far from ending on such a bitter note.
