Semin to Edmonton.... e4

If you have been following the thread I said PK will be BPA'ed the rest of the draft

Will look at this tonight

League file and website updated

It was a tough decision to deal Stamkos but we felt in doing this it gave us a better chance of winning by filling some empty holes in the Lightning roster With the acquisition of Eberle we have a great 1st line combining scoring, playmaking and speed Dion Phaneuf will help immensely on the back end where Tampa had lacked a top Dman to play with Hedman Kulemin will bolster the 4th line (lol) while providing some much needed depth on the roster Ryan Murphy is a great young player who will start his Lightning career with Norfolk Tampa Bay's updated roster Alex Radulov / Jordan Eberle / Marian Gaborik Charlie Coyle / Derek Roy / Justin Williams Lucas Lessio / Brandon Pirri / JC Lipon (may switch this up closer to the season starting) Colton Orr / Michal Handzus / Nikolai Kulemin Scratches: Antti Miettinen Victor Hedman / Dion Phaneuf Cody Franson / Mark Barberio Carlo Colaiacovo / Stefan Elliott Scratches: Brendan Mikkelson Anders Lindback Andrey Vasilevskiy

Also the website seems fine on my end

League file and website updated

Not for a while Usually the created players will be the last thing on my list before the season starts

NHL Coach Hirings The Columbus Blue Jackets have hired Marc Crawford to a 3 year contract AHL Coach Hirings The Columbus Blue Jackets have hired Brent Sutter to a 3 year contract to coach their AHL affiliate The Florida Panthers have hired Scott Arniel to a 3 year contract to coach their AHL affiliate

Could Stamkos be available?? Asking price will be high Looking for a top 2 Dman as well as a top line forward

League file and website will be updated tomorrow night

NHL Coach Hiring The Winnipeg Jets have hired Todd McLellan to a 3 year contract

Works fine on my end

Ari let me know he was leaving at the end of the season and subsequently told me in the PM that is AGM was interested and willing to take the team At that point I spoke to Niloc

Tampa Bay still looking for a top pairing dman as well as a shutdown dman to fill out my roster

Philadelphia Flyers have announced Tony Romo has stepped down from his position as GM

Thanks for letting me know

You know it One of the reasons I am stopping UFA signings is because of the extended offseason we are having I don't want the FA pool to continue to dwindle

Remember guys UFA negotiations will stop tonight at 11:59pm If you have started negotiations with players prior to this time you can still continue

FA IS NOT STARTING SOON Not sure where you read this

Teams who need to hire an NHL Coach Washington Capitals Winnipeg Jets San Jose Sharks Teams who need to hire an AHL Coach Pittsburgh Penguins Boston Bruins Carolina Hurricanes Tampa Bay Lightning Florida Panthers Chicago Blackhawks Columbus Blue Jackets Calgary Flames Minnesota Wild Los Angeles Kings

League file and website updated (this includes all signings and trades that have been posted)

I will be putting a stop to pending UFA negotiations shortly Please get your PM's to SOB by Wednesday night at 11:59pm You can still negotiate with your RFA's during this time Once the ratings have been finished I will re open negotiations for a few days and then after that we will start FA Again there is no timeframe as to when the season will start Also I am still looking for help with the ratings, Chimon and Intoewsables I am looking at you if time permits
