Look at my doodz over and see what you can find. I'll check out your roster when I go to sim in a couple hours. Not trading Schneider though so I don't have much for goalies.

BIDDING WAR!

What did that fool send you D:
Alright. I'll check it out later. It's not even the contract I don't like. I still have almost $15M in cap space even with Heatley. I just hate him as a player is all. :lolSent you an offer. Feel free to counter. Help you get rid of that contract
Sorry guys. I was expecting some best buy gift cards in the mail from a reward before the weekend but they arrived today, and I was waiting to buy the game from that. Buying the game tomorrow after work and will join.
Did anyone trade with the NPC for my team. If not, that's great.

No trades were done with your team. I do have Daniel Sedin if you're interested though.
You know I am! How did players like Yakupov work for my team, was he just a part of the randomized pool or is he in my system?
Every team got to keep their just-drafted prospect pool, but all AHL/NHL players were randomized. So yes, you'll still have Yakupov, but probably not Nudge/Eberle/Hall/etc.

Bernier with another shutout. Thank god I didn't trade him.
sure:
5-4-0
Your leading scorers are J.Staal with 15 points and Oshie with 14, by far your best scorers.

Screw that, Crosby should have netted at least one against him, but no, the sim believes Bernier is an all powerful super goalie for some reason. :/
No, that is Soc's team, Tabris is Edmonton.
RIGHT. damnit. I just connected Tabris with Vancouver, damnit.
Sorry Tabris, your record is:
5-2-0
and your top scorers are Bobby Ryan with 6 and Hornqvist with 5 points.
yeah, I think Marvie is doing 3 days per day for the initial few days, but starting soon (?), it'll be 2 weeks per day.
28th in the league atm, I have to come up with a slogan for MacKinnon that's equivalent to Fail for Nail. Any ideas?
Quit winnin' for MacKinnon.
Tabris, Yakupov would be a hindrance if he were playing right now. 62 IIRC
I like it!
If someone wants to trade prospects, let me know. I have Moore, a 21year old 4-star prospect and am looking for sth similar but a forward prospect. (preferably LW or C)
I also have Murray, but for me to part with him you'd have to make quite the prospect-offer.

I'll offer you highly coveted and very youthful D prospect Mike Komisarek.

Those with a starting goaltender on their trading block: let's talk.
EDIT: lol disregard, I just noticed I had Jimmy fkn Howard as my starter.

I'll probably start with the 2 week sims tomorrow night.
Possibly? You'd have to ask the person you sent it to.

This might be why you aren't seeing the trade I keep sending you, I re-sent it for the third time here, so try to check it out before he sims. If it doesn't, then I have no idea what is going on, the trade is to the correct team in the correct league and I get the confirmation notice everytime, so everything is good on my end.
Also whoever is LA, your trade proposal was decent but it leaves a gap on my first line and Lupul is putting up pretty good points at the moment.
And one last thing, Marvie, I made an offer for Heatley, trade value is pretty even but I'm interested to see what you think, maybe we can work something out over PM's if you think the current offer might be close or something.

In my other league, my friend sat Howard for a few games because he was sucking, and when he put him back in net after a 2 game break he said he was playing better. But that just might be a coincidence.
No problem, thought it was worth a try.

So this is what I have to look forward too if we even have a season this year.
Haha, I think Salo's durability in this game is a 50...
lol I tried to get Salo too.

Holy shit, Calgary has some mad injuries :lol
I like the offer. Didn't accept it yet and forgot to post it so everyone can check it out.

Cool, I thought it was pretty fair, in the end it gives both of us an evening up in cap (I had no idea Heatley's cap was almost 8 million), it gives you a good second line winger and decent center, I get Heatley for my first line so he can be paired with Crosby and a pretty decent prospect (I can't remember who at the moment). The 6th I threw in to even the trade value slightly. The only thing is that it leaves me with no second line center, but I think I can fill that void here with a FA or maybe even Schenn can fill that void.
So I think the trade is:
To Detroit:
Heatley
B+ prospect (I think)
To Minny
Lupul
Stajan
6th round pick

Is there a website for this GM Connected stuff? Don't wanna have to go into the damn game everytime.
Nope, there isn't, the closest thing to it is the mobile app, but all you can do with that is look at rosters, sign free agents and submit (but not accept, oddly) trade offers (also no draft picks)

Sent off a modified proposal Soc, I was unsure of how high of a throw in prospect you were looking for in this deal. Modified the draft pick as well since the trade value was somewhat lopsided. If you don't like it still I'm open to a counter proposal if you want to set one up this time around.
On the downside: no, you can only buy out players during offseason.
On the upside: it's probably even BETTER nt to sign rookies right away, especially if they're not that good. They will get more experience playing in the juniors (where they're automatically assigned to if not signed) than as a borderline/4th line AHL'er. They will remain your "property" for at least 3 years, so you have plenty of time to sign them to an ELC.
In my Be a GM mode careers I only sign Rookies if they're at least around 65 or higher, to guarantee they'll get at least some AHL playtime, otherwise they're wasting precious development years on the bench and THAT will make them not progress.
Is there a guide somewhere that explains how what affects development in this game? I could use real-world lessons, but I'd rather know what's actually helpful/detrimental (and what EA hasn't taken into account).
