I legit doubled some salary requests and gave them like 2 extra years and I'm still getting turned down. I don't get it.

It's probably the term increase that's screwing you over.
I sent you a trade for Halak.
Also, it's the trade deadline, so I won't be simming tonight! Get your trades in while you can.
I'm considering it. I sent Random a PM and in game offer involving him too.
He's not offering anything, I'm trying to get him to bite on an offer...
Any chance you'll part with one of your young defencemen?
Define who. Schultz and Gardiner are off-limits unless you REALLY wow me. I mostly just wanted an upgrade on my goalie for this year, and I have a younger prospect for once Halak is gone. And I figured Reimer will be a good deal for next year, once Brodeur's gone.
Mac got rid of Brad Richards? and you retained an amazing... 20k a year? LOL. was that on purpose?
I accepted everything except the Skinner trade. That one was way too unreasonable, sorry.
I didn't intentionally keep any of his salary, maybe I accidentally moved the slider on the iphone app before submitting.
Aside from the term, Richards should be able to help Orca in the playoffs, giving him some much needed depth at center.

hows my team doing? should be back tonight

Yeah I kind of wondered about that salary keep as well. I didn't realize you could even keep that little salary back lol
And yeah, I needed some help in the middle. If the prospects pan out that's a problem that won't stick around, but it would hurt my run this year.
Last sim before the playoffs start tomorrow!
... I have no idea how they'll be structured after the realignment, so I'll be as surprised as anyone lol.
Looks like the Jets are far and wide the best team of the regular season. I'm happy with 1st in the East.
Also as a reminder, since everyone's allowed to play up to 5 non-playoff games themselves, if you wanna give your team for this season a try, now's the time!

Sedin, Ryan are available
Mac is halak a fa?

I might be interested in a swap between one of Hall/Kane and Ryan... since Ryan's a RW and Hall and Kane are both LW's.
I have WAY too many RW's though. My 2nd&3rd line wingers are all RW's, so I'll want to trade for the other wing, if possible.
I also need an upgrade on goalie...

Honestly my team sucks bad. I want to retool completely. Msg me a package of draft picks/rookies/depth players
I'll see if I like anything
Smiley, which Kane?

Evander :lol So... the younger one.
It depends on if he accepts my low ball contract offers.
Oh btw: draft priority list is available now too. Quite a few 4.5star players. Sad that it still gives you the actual ratings instead of leaving you with uncertainty, but w/e.

If you guys wanna play each other, feel free. Only regular season games against the AI though, no playoff games against the AI though, that'd take away from the gm goal of the mode. Just let me know, so I don't sim before you're done.
Shit, wish I had seen this, I would have been down. :/

Go Lumbus!!!
I don't know if its just me, but the goalies are shit in this game. I play against my bro all the time and the goalies keep giving up stupid goals. frustrating as hell

they're just really inconsistent, they make a ridiculous save on a 2 on 1 then let in some shitty slapper from the boards. EA Sports.
I saw you get online but you didn't say anything so I just assumed you didn't want to play lol
Boo Red.

Also just a reminder, set your draft priority list! I will sim the Stanley Cup final AND the draft tonight, so the resigning stage will begin tomorrow and will go for 3 days/3 opportunities for you to resign your players, before free agency starts.

Theoretically yes, I wasn't planning on having a break before the draft, but I can accomodate it if you want?

Screw it. I wanted to trade players for draft picks but have nothing planned
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR... Calgary Flames? What? ... AI FTW!
3/4 teams in the conference finals were user controlled, the lone AI team wins :lol
Also, the draft and player growths happened! So check those out.
Apparently I was able to draft a 4.5star (red) prospect with my late pick. Awwww yiss nobody did draft priority changes.
Resigning stage is on now! You'll have three sim periods to resign the players you want and put in QO's for your RFA's. Good luck!

Murray is now an 82, as well as Schultz and Gardiner. Three young 4.5star defensemen -nicholsonyes.gif-
And i drafted another 4.5star dman :lol
... I'm willing to part with 1-2 of them for a 4.5star Center prospect/legit 1C. Thornton isn't gonna last forever. I'm scared of the contract he's asking for...
Hmmm that's tempting, I have both Benn and Huberdeau, Benn is 88 and Huberdeau is 86. Benn didn't do well at C though, so I'll probably move him on Huberdeau's wing this upcoming season.

Same here. It sounds like next year's free agent class is going to be pretty amazing.
