NHL Free Agent Game #5

[The Hockey Hitman]

re-sign would be unrestricted free agents

Tampa Bay has re-signed forwards Matt Pettinger, Jason Ward and David Koci along with defenseman Richard Petiot.

Koci and Ward signed one year deals worth $550k each, while Pettinger and Petiot both agreed on a 2 year deals, with Pettinger's worth 1.2 million and Petiot's worth 1.1 million.

The Lightning then assigned Ward, Koci and Petiot to their AHL affiliate the Norfolk Admirals. They must pass through waivers first in order to do so, since they signed the one way deals.

It is with regret that I need to inform you that I take over the Carolina Hurricanes as GM.

The roster has'nt been posted and no contact in regards to RFA as been made either.

I'm open to trade talks after I look over the team.

Don't ask for Eric Staal or Cam Ward please. Your PMs will be ignored.

To San Jose- 15th overall and Nick Bonino.

 

[General Borschevsky]

Pavol Demitra may be available for the right offer. I'm looking for either a cheaper top six option, or a reasonably priced second pairing defenceman.

 

[C-Saku Koivu MTL]

Hurricanes have come to a contract agreement with RFA T.Ruutu and A.Babchuk on a 2 year deal for both.

Dwight Helminen , Bryan Rodney, Brett Carson, Casey Borer, Jakub Petruzalek, Mike Angelidis, Justin Peters have all been signed to 1 year deal and are 2 way contract.

Jussi Jokinen as been qualified but no contract agreement have been reach at the moment.

N.Babin and M.Flood have not been offered a new contract and won't be back with the team next year.

 

[BillyShoe1721]

Sturm is available for a cheaper 3rd line option at LW and a good pick/prospect.

"We're very pleased to get Ian under contract. He has not made up his mind whether or not he wants to turn pro this fall, but we've given him a deadline that we would like to know an answer by and we fully trust Ian will let us know by then. We still felt it very important to get him locked up, we look forward to one way or another, him patrolling our blueline for many years to come."

I hate to break it to you, but Cole has already commited to his junior year at Notre Dame.

We've gotten offers for the first pick. Some are even overpayment. But there is not one package that could remove this pick from our hands.

We've heard our fans. Many of them are unhappy with our decisions at previous drafts. This year, however, we agree with our fans. We have the first pick, and we are keeping it. And with it, we will take who we feel is the best player in this year's draft class.

With the 1st Overall Pick of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, the New York Islanders select, from the London Knights of the OHL, John Tavares

 

[The Hockey Hitman]

You're right, you're right...I'm so freakin' hungry right now I let it get the best of me. I'd like to apologize to not only the participants of NHL Free Agent Game #5, but also to teh whole HFboards. I sorries.

 

[IslesRock4]

I've never had a real Philly cheesesteak before. The closest I've gotten are the ones down in Wildwood. How does that compare to the real ones, HH?

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

The Buffalo Sabres have resigned forward Matt Ellis.

Additionally we would like to state that we are interested in trading down to the 20-24 range, possibly even farther back.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

Is that *****ing I hear THH? That will not tolerated in this game.

Got 'em.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

no cheesesteak compares to a Philly. South Jersey's aren't bad but they still don't even compare. In my travels I will never get a cheesesteak out of penn that is called a philly cheesesteak. if it's just called a cheesesteak I'll eat it but when Philly is added...just say no

 

[The Hockey Hitman]

select Victor Hedman

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

The Sabres have successfully traded down.

Sabres trade 13th for SJs 1st (26th) TML 2nd (37th), PIT 3rd, Jeff Tambellini, Freddy Meyer.

This is NOT negotiable.

If you want to sign a former draft pick, 2008 or later, to an ELC, you need to PM me.

THH, please put this in your draft post on the 1st page.

Isles confirm. We did our quantity picks last year and are looking for quality this year. We wish Tambellini and Meyer the best in Buffalo, they just didn't seem to fit in our system.

 

[The Hockey Hitman]

Lightning waste no time, sign no. 2 overall pick Victor Hedman to 3 year entry level deal worth a total of $3.5 million per season.
