IMO managing a team in Connected can be done with little effort if you can just jump in for 10 min every day or two or three before you fire up another game (eg, Halo). But it's up to you.

Sorry about your grandfather, Merguson

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Quick look, best available free agents are Marleau (88 LW), Thornton (88 C), Petry (86 D) and Miller (92 G)

Is this a copy of miller or did he not get resigned? :p

But wow@ thornton&marleau.

Miller didn't want to sign even if I offered 9mil/year.. which is a good thing anyway! :p
 
Oh. cool.

Because you know, the goalie I had was so good.

Hopefully he did get drafted. I hadn't had time to fuck with the draft order.

I low-balled Lundqvist and he took it immediately. Swedish socialist sensibilities. For the greater good.

put me back in. I was able to install to hard drive and it runs!!!
new gamertag though. jayp56
Nice. You've got a sick team. Would be a shame for the CPU to take it over.

And Red dropped unfortunately, despite being active all season. I'm guessing that #1 pick loss was pretty upsetting. I'd be bummed too.

Brian Burke didn't quit when he realized he traded Seguin

I guess I am willing to trade Bobrovsky as well as the other goalies on my block on the last page. (24 yrs, 4 yellow stars, 1.something mil for this year, then RFA next season)

Basically, I have 3 goalies so I need to move 1. I would rather keep Bob but if he is the only guy to get bites I will probably move him).

Maybe Red will come back once his "omfg Halo 4 omfg Halo 4 omfg Halo 4" brain realizes hockey is still a thing. :p (so, maybe this weekend? :D)

Also :lol at that interest for Leblanc. Dude getting his door run in, I see.

I thought playing NHL 13 ten hours a day was keeping him alive?
Took out the NHL 13 tube and plugged in the Halo 4 one.

Also :lol at that interest for Leblanc. Dude getting his door run in, I see.
Best part is every CPU team going after Goc while none of us are interested. I wonder what the AI detected that we didn't.

And San Jose (mibupe) had $26m in cap space, yet didn't resign Schwartz and Rodin.... oversight, I guess, but he did resign some of his other guys.

Wish I had more cap space than 10.5 mio... hope the game doesn't load me up with 4 mio over the cap again, that was weird.

What happens if a team tries to start the season with too few roster players? wsoxfan has literally only 14 players signed right now and I'm pretty sure he hasn't made any offers.

29mil available.. Time to overpay on a few scrubs. need to get my cap higher for a few years while the rooks learn a trick or 2

Hmmm did better than expected in free agency, would have likeed one of Schwartz or Faulk though.

What's the best time to put a prospect in the lineup? Thinking about putting Stone in but only is 70 overall and another prospect is only 72.

Buffalo signs Marleau ($8.7M x 2 years) and Miller ($9.5M x 4 years).

A major overpayment for both, but that's what I figured I would have to do to actually sign some free agents this year.

In related news, here's a new addition to my trading block:

M. Neuvirth - Goalie, 84 Overall, 4 Yellow Stars, $5.1M x 3 years

Damn, wasn't able to snag any of the really good FA's (as expected, only had 10.6mio to work with), but also none of the 4star prospects/players... Damn. Oh well. Got Clifford and Stephensen (3.5star prospects) and two 4th liners... Mhmm.

Weirdly enough, my available cap went UP? I signed players, but now I have >11 mio available... Okay EA...

I don't even remember making an offer to him. Apparently Dale Tallon snuck in and was using my xbox. :lol

[quote="Milly79, post: 44043366"]I was gonna bid on him. :P[/QUOTE]
You can have him if you want him. I will accept payment in these forms:
moldy bread, bits of string, bottlecaps, or milk jug rings.

Whoever offersheeted Drayson Bowman, what pick did you have to get up?

Also, trade block on last page still applies. A few nibbles but no offers.

It should tell you if you go to GM options -> offer sheets. Check the "compensation" tab for picks/salary reference

Didn't get Marleau, Leblanc or Faulk, but I did get some solid prospects. Can't complain.

LA gave you a 2nd. Offer sheet compensation shows up at the top of the 'new signings' page apparently. I guess you didn't have the option of matching because of cap space?

You got Rodin and Maatta, right? Dang. And you got Rask last offseason too, no good prospects want to come to Columbus :lol. Can't overpay a 2way contract, sadly.

Also, looks like Winnipeg got Petry. Who got Thornton?

I didn't want to match.. that's craziness. Just wondering what the pick was.
 
I'm looking to move Versteeg (83) or Setoguchi (81) and plus for an upgrade on my RW.

I also have Skinner (82, 4.5) or Johansson (79, 4) available at center, and a bunch of 3 star D prospects.

Was able to pick up Peckham on a 1 year deal (so an overpayment has less of an effect) and some minor 3star-mid20-78 players to round out my team. I'm okay with the haul now. Will post trading block once I've gone over my starting lineups tmrw morning..

1 year deals are for chumps. Sign them to lifetime contracts like a man!
