CDCGML - LEAGUE HIRINGS It is with great pleasure, that we welcome these two new GM`s to our league! This, gentlemen, means we have a full CDCGML league for the first time in years!

For now, you actually are!

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT To VGK: Matt Murray Drew Commesso Lawson Crouse Pierre-Oliver Joseph 2023 1st (Buf)To TBL: Ilya Sorokin Connor Murphy Patric Hornqvist Sean Kuraly Jake Leschyshyn

That’s a very smart contract right there. He’ll get play time for cap reasons in Pittsburgh alone. as long as he’s kicked his long-haul Covid issues, he’ll do well in the bottom six there.

You joining the league was what it took for me to give up that team, I was so happy to hand you the reigns. So glad you are back… you were gone a while and sorely missed! we all make mistakes, and we’re all here to have fun. Just ask mike about my jannik hansen incident, I’m sure he’s still paying for a billboard of mockery out there somewhere

Boston - the gigantic list of the future of the organization in rfa format, remember

I honestly think he was just waiting for things to die down. Brother got a barrage of “I’ll take that skilled player of yours for a bag o dicks” PM’s . shame on y’all out there

Hey, didn’t you lose a franchise worth of rfas when you joined? at least he qualified his RFA’s

Vancouver does have a GM, he’s just been with family this past week. @Crapper King is our guy.

It was actually the most impressive agent work I’ve ever seen. @aGENT definitely allowed it to happen, and had full right of refusal (and many thanks for that). I made zero demands, as it was partially my fault. I was already inquiring into other goalies. @arby18_pulled off an insane 24 hour three team goalie negotiation that ended up with 3 GM’s getting their first choices. I’m so appreciative of even getting consideration. Every GM consulted, communicated with and contented. Awesome experience all around!

If you see someone you like, do a quick thread check to see if they’ve been signed in the last few days. Easiest/most effective from laptop or desktop

Good call! He hates his birthday, so everyone wish him a good one!

With ELC’s, we drastically reduced the amount of bonuses in signings, because players seldom meet all of their bonuses (achieve their full AAV) Slafkovsky’s contract is actually 950k per season base contract. He has a staggering bonus of 3.5 million per year, with a yearly signing bonus of another 95k. His overall AAV is 4.45m per season for the next 3 years. In the GML that contract will cost you 3.25m per season, with a base of 925k.

If you two could have a chat about how it all works… if J.I.A.H.N could please read through the CBA… please submit an application. if you decide to submit an application, please send it to me for review in our executive. CDC members vetted by GML members are ideal. We are currently interviewing two prospective GM’s for the open teams, but even if the league is full at this time, we would love to have someone in line for the next available roster. Glad you’ve stopped by , let us know if you are interested.

I’ll be honest, I had a hard time with this one. I felt it was too high, but @lethunder and Electric Entertainment we’re patient with me, kept listening and responding, and we inevitably agreed to this deal. When I really took the time to run through the comparables, I found my agent was not far off at all. It will be interesting to see how the next year goes. As the expansion GM, all I knew was that there was no way I should let a talented 26 year old go. Not something to be taken lightly, nor something worth quibbling over dollars and cents. lots of potential for a breakout, with the right opportunities. Fingers crossed.

KRAKEN 1st round report GML #13 Pavel Mintyukov - Russia IRL #10 - ANA (+3) GML #20 Brad Lambert - Finland IRL #30 - WPG (-10) GML #21 Owen Pickering - Canada IRL #21 - PIT (E) GML #52 Maveric Lamoureux - Canada IRL #29 - ARZ (+30) - pleased with everything except Lamoureux becoming a Coyote. He requires some focussed hands-on training and building, and I believe ARZ to be completely inept in every way in that department (as well as others).

and all of that happened at a military enlistment office. My wife is Russian... i wouldn't believe any of this if she hadn't been telling me about life there for the past decade. This is common in daily life, this is just one notable person which has drawn attention.

Figures I’d only searched this year’s thread and last… you are too smart. Sad news, sorry bro. That guy was a monster for the past two years, and had all the momentum for a real NHL push. Hope there is some sort of resolution, but can’t see how…

Crazy... Always scouting, as I'm sure you all are, i just checked in on an exciting goalie prospect i was dying to offer on, only to find he`s at the heart of the severance between russian and american hockey... it seems that those that were nervous or tentative about russian players at the draft may have been exactly correct. Ivan Fedetov led CSKA Moscow to the Gagarin Cup last season, and announced this spring that he`d be coming to america to play with the Flyers. A silver medal winner in Beijing. Ivan was detained at a military office two days ago, drugged by injection, and taken to hospital and not allowed to talk to his family. He was cited and charged with evading military duty, and has been tied to rumours of being shipped away to a northern prison camp, as well as being possibly threatened with immediate duty in the Ukraine. Insanity. I can`t imagine anyone will be announcing plans to leave the KHL anytime soon... I even fear for professional players that have returned home, and their chances of returning. https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3423724/absolutely-insane-story-coming.-flyers-goalie-ivan-fedetov-has-been-detained-in-russia-and-theyre-allegedly-forcing-him-to-join-the-military https://www.insidethegames.biz/index.php/articles/1125195/fedotov-hospitalised-military-service

Arby’s on fire

After some great negotiations with the wonderful folks at Arby’s, we’re pleased to have locked down these three players. We hope to see Logan Stanley (expansion selection from COL) compete for a consistent bottom pairing role this season, and to challenge further in the coming years. Smart little bridge here allows for another RFA negotiation, while giving the player a well deserved raise. Radim Zohorna (Trade acquisition from ARZ) quickly became an asset last season. With many opportunities due to injury, he had ample call-ups last season which gave him more NHL opportunity than originally expected. He is likely to challenge for a roster spot this season. His production was surprisingly consistent for his low minutes… we look forward to seeing what he can achieve given time and ability to create line chemistry, as well as to get comfortable in the locker room. David Gustafsson (trade acquisition DET) is at the right age, and possibly a little harder to judge. His defensive gritty style doesn’t light up score boards, but we see him challenging for roles of opportunity throughout this season, and becoming a solid third line center in coming years.
