And Pronger would waive to go to Buffalo? Of all the things that wouldn't happen, that one would not happen the most.
Not really. He has family and friends in TO, and would be very close to them in Buffalo, plus the team really fits with his style, great goaltending, and solid defense is what Buffalo is committed to and is the type of team where Pronger has found success before.
Maybe you should worry about getting out of the basement?
I tried to make a hard stance from the get go but basically it's going to piss posters off and people will not want to participate so we have to let some things go. Ie, Ovechkin, Pronger, and Selanne/Koivu.

Dont apologize to anyone. You are making judgement calls. Hard decisions. People arent going to like them/you no matter what you decide.
Part of the reason I volunteered to do the agent job was because I dont really give a **** what people think.
Yes, really. You can justify it using whatever means you like, but it's tiring to watch you play commissioner with pithy comments (in BOTH draft games) about what would/wouldn't occur. In the Trade Deadline Game, the Sabres can't apparently sign Parise and/or Suter because it's not desirable destination. But yet, in this one, Buffalo is capable of bringing in Pronger.
Koivu would most likely be the same, if indeed they really are bff.
The fact Boston got both of them for nothing is even more galling.
For what its worth Selanne did go to Colorado to play with Kariya. If theres anything to be mad about it should be that he didn't retire. He's 41 turning 42 this summer, I highly doubt he's coming back next season.
I'll be updating the Iginla Sweepstakes shortly. As many as 6 teams are currently in the hunt for the prized superstar. I can say that two teams have fielded offers that are significantly more interesting then the rest of the field.
Giordano, Bouwmeester, Cammalleri, Tanguay, and Kipprusoff have yet to receive any significant interest.

Make up your mind.
Well, first off, I am a much more capable gm than you. Just gauging the moves made in the last game bears that out.
I traded for a guy that has term left on his contract.
You traded for a guy who is on the verge of scoring the first big deal of his career.

But Columbus is still seen as a desolate wasteland eh.
While I agree with IATL about Selanne, is it really any more crazy than a lot of the moves? Does anyone really think a GM is going to try and build a cup contender out of people named Ryan? Or say the only way they'll trade Alzner is if you make a deal that includes Ovi? Or even me trading a 2nd overall pick before he even plays for a top pairing dman? OF4L is keeping it as realistic as possible without pissing people off.
Edit: I'm not calling anyone out btw. Just saying that odds are, 95% of these deals probably don't happen.
The Lightning have locked up David Jones for 4 years and Cory Schneider for 2 years.
I wouldn't mind trading some of my lower tier prospects for some bottom 6 players. Definitely need an upgrade in at least two spots and I don't want to rely on UFAs.
The St. Louis Blues are happy to announce that they have resigned Barret Jackman to a 4 year deal at 3.7M annual caphit with a NTC, the Blues have also signed Jason Arnott to a 1 year deal at 2.5M with a NTC. Unfortunately no deal could be reached with RFA's Oshie and Perron so GM Raab has filed for arbitration.
With the 25th pick, Tampa Bay select, from the USNTDP, Stefan Matteau.
With the departure of Steve Downie, the organization needed to replace the crazy.
