:ahh!:

YES! PARTY IN THE STREETS BITCHES AND REVEL IN THE GLORY THAT IS ME!!!

    -             -     

Well saddle me up and call me Rosie!

^the fuck does that mean? Just sounded appropriate.

The pick I traded Tim Connolly for is guess what?

2nd OVERALL!!! But I need first overall if I want Aaron Ekblad. I have 2nd and 30th. Gonna try and draft Sam Reinhart + Ekblad :lol:

    -             -     

GOD DAMMIT I WON THE CUP WHY AREN'T YOU PEOPLE STARING IN AWE

:lol:

Draft I drafted 1 **** (Sam Reinhart) and 3 31/2 star guys. Nothing of much importance...

Wait... nvm just went into re-sign and Reinhart is 4 1/2 stars!!! YEHHH

Going in with 29.4 mil in cap space... Got guys like Kessel, Gardiner, Phaneuf and Reimer to re-sign :o

Re-signed Kessel, Phaneuf, Gardiner, Blacker, Colborne, Frattin, Aaltonen, Westin.

That's my first day and I only have 4.4 mil in cap space :o WITH players like Scrivens, Rynnas, Reimer, Aucoin, D'Amigo, Ashton, Kostka...

Tendered Reimer, Owuya and D'Amigo so that when I can trade again, I can just get cap space and then sign them.

Have around 4.5 mil in cap space heading into FA...

    -             -     

Fuck y'all. BUMP. I WON DA CUP.

    -             -     

Okay so this is going to be a REALLY busy offseason

I tendered Reimer but he wanted 5 mil.... Considering I only had 5.5 mil in cap space I went out and made some moves, also looking at Henrik Sedin for a first line C option.

To NSH:
Connor Brown

To TOR:
Scott Hannan
3rd Round Pick 2014

Good depth player for a 2 1/2 green star player.

To CHI:
Matthew Lombardi
Mark Owuya
Scott Hannan
Ludwig Bystrom
NSH 2014 2nd

To TOR:
Philip Danault
Grant Clitsome

Solely a move to clear up cap space/roster spots while getting a very talented prospect (21 years old 4 stars and 71 OV).

To BOS:
James Reimer
Grant Clitsome

To TOR:
Malcolm Subban

Another cap space move. I'm gonna sign Jonas Hiller in FA (1.8 mil for an 83 OV goalie compared to paying Reimer 5.5 mil for a 84 OV goalie). Subban is my tender of the future.

So big overhaul... Gotta figure out where I'm headed right now after a cup win....

So now into FA... I offer sheeted Mark Owuya, so I could get him back for nothing

But CHI matched :o

Kinda sucks because I traded him without realizing he progressed from 69-78 the past season as a backup :(

Oh well, I signed a promising prospect in Mike Winther and signed Jonas Hiller to be my starter :D

I submitted an offersheet to 78 OV D Michael Stone. Solid third pairing guy imo. BUT HE DECLINED!?!? fack. sorry I'm writing this as I go so you're gonna get live reactions :lol:

Alright, well I signed D Colin White, another 78 OV guy <_<

Next up, I'm gonna move John-Michael Liles for cap space. Not gonna have an 85 OV dman sitting on my third pairing... No real matches so I just put him OTB hopefully I'll get some offers.

Notable Progressions:
Nico Aaltonen 65-75
Jesse Blacker 72-75
Joe Colborne 78-81
Max Domi & Matt Finn 59-62
J. Flaake 58-70
Alex Forsberg 55-58
Gardiner 87-88
Grigorenko 67-70
Dougie Hamilton 76-82
Josh Leivo 62-66
Owuya 69-78 <_<
Stu Percy 62-66
Morgan Rielly 74-82
Joonas Valkonen 61-65
JVR 84-87
Westin 60-65

    -             -     

Alright well I wasn't really planning to update this much but a couple days before the trade deadline, all hell broke loose.

Well let me start this off with a couple notes:

- Claimed Jamie McBain off of waivers, 85 OV OFD.
- Put Liles into lineup with McBain on second line. Rielly, Hamilton on 3rd line.
- Traded Colin White somewhere for a 3rd rounder
- Korbinian Holzer got claimed off of waivers :(

Alright so 3 days before the deadline and we are sitting at 36-27-5 and 2nd in the East and Anaheim offers us a trade...


ANA receives:
Joe Colborne (4 yel 81 OV)
Toronto 2015 2nd Round Pick
Charles Inglis (2 stars :lol

TOR receives:
Bobby Ryan

No brainer. Needed offense and it came in the form of Bobby Ryan. He only has one year left on his deal so that's a bit scary but this is a precursor to my second move. This gives me a logjam on the wings and NO depth at center. Lupul and macarthur were wasting away on the third line after this deal so without playing a game I made a move with CAR.

CAR receives:
Joffrey Lupul
Clarke Macarthur
2019 1st Round Pick
2017 1st Round Pick
2016 2nd Round Pick

TOR Receives:
Linus Omark
Jeff Skinner

Skinner is my #1C of the future and will only get better. I've been needing a legitimate center for a long time and Skinner gives me that. It was a big (read: HUGE) price to pay but if this team performs the way that I've built it, I'll have a dynasty for years to come. I had a big surplus on the wings and I'm not gonna pay guys millions (Lupul 4.5, Mac 3) to play 3rd line when I could get cheaper replacements.

This leaves the lines at:

JVR 87 - Skinner 83 - Kessel 89
Ryan 86 - Grabo 82 - Perry 88
Ashton 76 - Kadri 77 - Frattin 82
Aaltonen 75 - Aucoin 71 - Brown 71

Phaneuf 89 - Gardiner 88
Liles 85 - McBain 85
Rielly 82 - Hamilton 82

Hiller 83

So yeah... I need bottom 6 depth which I'll address at the deadline.

    -             -     

Lool abusing the trade system, NOOB

My blues team finished 33-38-11 :lol:

Next year's line of Yakupov-Galchenyul-Tarasenko followed by typical Blues depth

See, it can be done

Also, sitting 20-12-5 guys.&nbsp; Riemer is leading with 12 goals and Liles is leading with 17 assists.&nbsp; Phaneuf is the goon with 57 PIMs.

Reimer has 12 goals? wut

Sad thing is... Skinner isn't actually a centreman.

Idk he might be in red deer, :lol: all I know is he sucks in game

Well guys, made one deadline trade

To EDM:
3rd WAS
3rd DET
Mike Brown ( :( )

To TOR:
Shawn Horcoff

Perfect 3rd line checking forward. Comes with a 5.5 mil cap hit but it's off the books after this season. Didn't have to give up a lot to secure depth.

Biggest lol worth deal was CAR trading my first (from Skinner deal) to DAL for Brenden Morrow, then sending him down and WSH claiming him on waivers :lol:

In game I know, but IRL he plays wing, exclusively.
