Burmistrov, Antropov, Hainsey and Fehr(RFA Rights) are available. Generally interested in anything but a goalie. Obviously looking for young players though.
I don't think I've ever received so many pm's in this short a span playing one of these games. Lots of interest in Stasny/Duchene so far and a few nibbles on Mueller, Hejda and Olver.
Matt Duchene: Don't offer unless a young #1, #2 or #3 D with upside is in the package
Paul Stasny: Based on the Duchene offers I think I'll end up keeping him
Peter Mueller: Looking to package him with Gaunce, Olver, picks, ect for an upgrade
Jan Hejda: Looking to package him with Mueller, Gaunce, Olver, picks, ect for an upgrade
Almost anyone available. Looking to get younger. Will take offers on Koivu but it would take massive overpayment for me to consider moving him. Backstrom, Gilbert, Heatley, all OTB. Pm me if interested.
St. Louis acquired the rights to forward Alexander Semin today from the Washington Capitals in exchange for the rights to defensemen Barret Jackman.
Jackman has served St. Louis well in his tenure with the Blues but we feel it is time to move on and start a new era in St. Louis. We think that Semin could be a very good fit here in St. Louis and are excited to add a player with the star power Semin has.
We're looking to build up our offensive depth and get younger.
OTB:
-ONE of Perry/Ryan/Getzlaf (Whichever one gets me the best package of picks, prospects and young roster players)
-Lubomir Visnovsky
-Luca Sbisa
-Jonas Hiller -Justin Schultz
He became a UFA on June 1st did he not once he didn't sign a contract?
I thought like Rensfeldt his rights were defaulted since he didn't sign on June 1st
Rensfeldt is no longer Hawks property ,, Wouldn't the same apply to Schultz?
I thought I saw McKenzie say somewhere he cannot sign until July 1st. Schultz is also a NCAA player, while Rensfeldt was not. That could be the difference. Didn't Wheeler have to wait as well?
The UFA rights for Zach Parise are on the trade block.
Also, we've re-signed the following UFAs:
Martin Brodeur: 1 year, $3.25 mil with a full NMC
Stephen Gionta: 2 years, $650,000 per year
Ryan Carter: 2 years, $900,000 per year
Superstar Steve Bernier: 1 year, $1 mil
Big players OTB are Joe Thornton and Ryane Clowe. Thornton may have been traded but get your offers in. Looking for young wingers and very good prospects.
