Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Signed Gardiner to an 8 year contract for <4 mio, awwwwww yiss.

Meanwhile Teubert, also 82ovr but 24 and a 4star, is asking for >5 mio once i increase contract length. NOPE.

Also humble Reimer signed to a cheap 4 years. Now I just need an actual starter...

Servers went down before I got to sim, woops. Will sim tomorrow, sorry. Some people didn't put any offers in yet, I'll send out PM's to those that won't have sent any offers in after tomorrow's sim.

I dropped from the league.

I didn't set my draft priority and the CPU drafted a Goalie with my first round pick and I already have Subban who is a 4.5 star player. Its my fault, but the rest of my team is so shitty that I don't want to even attempt a rebuild with this team.

I didn't have time to check who did/didn't resign players yet, so I'm going to check that later today and send out PM's to those that haven't.

If they wish so/don't respond, I will temporarily drop them from the league so the AI can resign players for them. They can then rejoin anytime they want and not have their team screwed over.

I simmed last night, so you have until tomorrow to resign your players before free agency starts.

Alright, Philly (Zod), Nashville (Milly), Oilers (Orca) and Sens (Cakeboss) haven't resigned anyone yet. Sent Zod and Cakeboss PM's and Milly an xbox live message.

Orca is banned... I wonder if he still checks this... I don't remember his xbox live nick, damn. Should have sent him an xbox live message too.

Last resigning sim tomorrow!
 

Smiley90

Nashville/Milly left voluntarily, Orca/Oilers didn't resign anyone despite telling me they would, both cake boss and Zod haven't responded and haven't resigned anyone, so all four were temporarily dropped from the league so the AI could resign some players.

Feel free to join back anytime!

Free agency starts NOW. There will again be three nights to try and sign whoever you want/can, before the season starts. Good luck!

EDIT: looks like the AI isn't actually capable of signing anyone on the last day. Welp. I'll keep that in mind for next time. As it stands, oilers, senators and flyers didn't resign anyone. So if you wonder why this free agent class has some amazing players in it: that's why. Zod, cake boss, orca, if I you want to rejoin you're probably better of picking another team. Next time please respond to my messages and/or read this thread...

How many GM's are left? Not going to be very fun if only like 5 guys are playing

Would love to join as the Wild. Sent you a PM about it too, Smiley. Thanks! gt is dfa records.

You're in! You're missing out on the first day of free agency, but there should still be some good ones out there once i'm done simming.

Simming now!

Kessel accepted my offer :D My top 6 is pretty sick now

SOB.

I wanted Miller. :( I still need a starting goalie, Reimer sucks. :( Also wanted Michalek for my 2nd line... -sigh-

On the bright side, I got a LOT of prospects :lol

I had to overpay him quite a bit, but my top 6 is disgusting now. I'll be in cap trouble after next season, hopefully I can get a cup this upcoming season.
 
Wow, my Wild team is absolute junk. Got me some Coyle and Dumba at least. Gonna really have to rebuild through a trade or two after Free Agency I guess. Oh well.

Haha, I wonder how much you offered to Kessel? I was overpaying by about 2 mill. (Stopped at 8.5). Dang it.

Okay I have a TON of defensemen/d-prospects to trade away for forward prospects. I'm not even kidding.

3 yellow 4.5 (Gardiner, Schultz and Murray)
1 red 4.5
2 yellow 4
1 yellow 3.5
1 green 3.5
3 red 3.5

I also have a bunch of 3rd line/low-80 RW's that I'd love to swap for some LW's...

Aaaand I need a starting goalie...

I gave him 8.8 couldn't believe he was only asking 5.9M to start.....knew I had to go crazy high if I wanted to outbid people. Kind of crippled cap wise now though.

Uh. Guess I'll take the Hawks then.

is there anyh way to see the rosters beforehand?

I believe if you look up the league (under GAF Sim League) it tells you the top players in every team.

I can just tell you too, though.

Notable Players/Prospects:

Ovechkin (94ovr)
Drew Stafford (84ovr)
Ryan Callahan (86ovr)
Seguin (88ovr 4.5star)
Brayden Schenn *83ovr 4.5star)
Zach Bogosian (85ovr 4.5star)

Your starting goaltender is Lindback :lol

so.. not bad? Maybe aside from the lack of a decent starting goaltender. But... I have Reimer as my starting goalie and I made it to the conference finals too, so w/e.

Taking offers on Landeskog / Horton if anyone is interested

What do you want for Horton?

Also orca/edmonton, sent you a trade request. My one forward with 90 aggression (Dorsett, 76) for a pick lol.

I'll take a look at your roster later and see if there's anything I'm interested in.

Sweet deal. I can't believe how hard it was to find some forwards to send trade requests on. There's some soft teams out there haha

my 2nd, 3rd and 4th line wingers are essentially all Grinders or TWF's LOL. I think I have like 6 players with Aggression 85+ as wingers.

I made a team of nothing but enforcers one year, a couple versions of the game back. It was god awful to actually PLAY, but they were lights out when you simmed it for some reason.

Just so everyone knows, I'm not simming tonight because it's the TRADE DEADLINE. So get your trades in before the end of the season/playoffs start soon :)

I can't really check whose active in terms of logging in and whatnot, but it's not like there's that much activity required to keep a club going. I check in with everyone at the resigning stage every season, then we see, basically.

Simming now!

Didn't even realize to post in here, but playoffs have started! that also means that draft priority lists are up, so rank your priority list so you don't accidentally draft someone you don't want. good luck everyone!
