How does the Free Agency and Trades treat you so far.....

[hong57]

Positives

Suter to Wild -> Gilbert has a PP partner!
Michalik out of Pens (and potential Martin too) -> Room for Bortuzzo and Despres!
Parise out of NJ -> Clarkson even more offensive role
Oates to WSH -> Ovie back to old form!
Foligno out Latendress in -> Turris stable at 2C position with good wingers to play with

Negatives

Jordan to Canes -> Eric potentially -FOW, -SHTOI, +hits, +points.. but fuck this

JVR to leafs --- enough to satisfy my summer

Waiting for someone to actually get a raise

If your players were better, they'd get bigger raises

[Lee]

If your players were worse, maybe you wouldn't have to give handjobs for nickles to pay them.

whatever it takes to win buddy, gotta go in with that attitude or you get stuck with a team like yours

[Lee]

...But you didn't win.

I beat you, if i remember correctly 15-1?


Im more of a dream crusher than a champion anyways

[Lee]

A lot of teams beat me last year. You should be proud.

[kimmer]

Steves team always fell short but a strong contender year after year

[Tony]

all of my main roster, except that crap-bag Pahlsson, signed ... that's good enough for me

[kimmer]

Most of u guys misunderstood hongs point of this thread. He means how did the real life FA signing this yr affect ur team in positive/negative ways in terms of roster balance/potential production for the upcoming season

Moss: almost exactly what I had expected. Was looking for 2mil, he got 2.1.
Konopka: same thing, but happy he got two years. Seems as good a place as any to slot into 4th line C/2nd PK unit.
Jagr: more money than I was hoping for. Probably need to move him because of it.
Teemu: still waiting.

Garrison: Very happy, was expecting 5.5. Vancouver was my second preference for his destination after sticking in Florida where he is a known commodity next to Campbell
Kuba: Expensive at 4, but not far off where I was expecting him. Nice to see him next to an excellent passing d-man again.
Zanon: Fine with 2.25. Meh, as long as he's in the top 6 he puts up wild periphs.
Salo: got toooo fat a contract and had to move him.

JVR to the leafs = super happy for the leafs and my bbkl team

Petry signed to 1.750 - this awesome contract makes up for the stupid one they handed the Dub.

I'm only waiting on Ryan O'Reilly to sign, i'm thinking he'll get in the 3.5mil range.

Loving Olli to Wpg
Burish at 1.8M isnt too bad, considering what Prust got.
waiting on Del Zotto to sign

[kimmer]

Still not getting it lol

Radulov - KHL
Parise - Indifferent. 7.5mil is fine, hopefully good chemistry with Koivu
Semin - Nothing so far, likely signing somewhere as a beast.
Sullivan - going to Phoenix, good and bad. Likely a better role, less skill to play with though.
Lots of RFA/UFA still.
