Anyone else found that since the UFA market has dried up, that there is quite a few more trade PM's/talks.

Hmmm... how interesting.

FYI - 3rd round pick will not get you Grabner.

I've noticed it a bit, yes. The Jets are very open to talking trade, possibly for some players that may have been deemed 'untouchable' before...

A few questions about FO stuff....

With Medical, when it says who can be put on IR based on how much you have allotted, What is the official source for "Out Indefinitely", "Expected to miss..." and "day to day"?

Also, what is I put in $8 (which is supposed to be only players considered 'out indefinitely' can be put on IR) but a players official injury status is "expected to miss 4-6 months". I can't put that player on IR?

7.2 – Medical/Training Facilities

- @ $8 million, 'out indefinitely' can be placed on IR.

- @ $10 million, 'expected to miss...' can be placed on IR.

- @ $15 million, 'day to day' can be placed on IR.

New from the Shark Tank

GM Optimist Prime has assigned Goaltender Jeff Frazee to the affiliated Saskatoon Tigers. Jeff certainly made the decision difficult, and our staff are certain that this young guy will be the toast of 'Toonsville. Baring injuries Jeff will anchor a hungry Tigers team vying for a championship of its own this year.

theminister would have to confirm as he deals with the LTIR, but I'm pretty sure he uses tsn.ca (either player profile or the actual injuries page).

As for your second question that is correct. They would have to listed as either on "IR" or "Out Indefinitely".(But I don't think I've seen someone listed at "expected to miss 4-6 months" before)

We usualy use Tsn's injury page and it seems to be reliable. The wording may be different on Yahoo's page. TM or C2X correct me if im wrong but it seems like the medical is set up to work with that page. In the one year we have used this it has worked well and I never encountered a problem.

I know that all this may seem confusing but once the regular season hits it will make more sense.

News from the Shark Tank

San Jose would like to welcome its new players, Andrei Kostitsyn, Sergei Bobrovsky, Adam Burish, Sami Lepisto, Ben Bishop, Nick Bonino and Daniel Paille to the organization. We also would like to thank Viktor Stalberg, Cody Hodgson,T.J. Galiardi and Marty Turco for their excellent contributions to our club. It is always sad to say goodbye to such an talented group of players, and San Jose wishes them the best of luck going forward in their respective careers.

Our next preseason game will give our fans a preview of the "almost finalized" roster, and give our squad a good chance to gel together before the season.

The Tentative Roster for Thursdays Preseason Action at the Vancouver Canucks has been released, subject to change.

Kostitsyn, Getzlaf, Bourque

Moore, Toews, Darche

Thornton, Burish, Palmieri

Paille, Bonino, King

Kreider

Green, Morris

Michalek, White

Tallinder, O'Brien

Brodie, Lepisto

Reimer

Bobrovsky

Its pretty safe to imagine that if the shown scale starts here at 6m and players 'may sign for 1/4m less" then as you go down from 6m towards zero dollars the scale would ramp up towards 'may sign for way more than desired contract'...also the same could and would be said for NTC's waived to come and go...less legal money: less willingness to sign without an NTC and almost no willingness to waive one in order to join your club.

I would almost suggest that no legal money is grounds for ownership to fire GM's.

EDIT: no offense intended to those that are filing that way...but in a full sim keeper league: we mimick the real league. If the real league only has 20 players a team playing any given game..and our rosters are already able to accomodate 23..clearly teams are short nhl starters from the beginning...if we start to inflate our farm team salaries to 'hide' nhl starters down there, then some teams will be crippled and barely meet the ability to field 18 nHL starts...while other teams will have 23 starters on the roster and another 6-12 nhl starters down in the minors..

Just pointing out the obvious flaw with allowing zero legal, or even zero medical/legal/PR...a team could in theory bury 35m in nhl starters salary on the farm and muck up the league for a few years worth of real time if this is the case.

Going to completely disagree with you on many accounts....

1) Firstly, I can't see anywhere where it says the advantages gained from the F/O budget scale in the way you describe, it might be easy to imagine it does but I seriously hope that's just your imagination... can an agent please confirm or deny this?

2) Grounds for firing a GM? Lol WOW! you definitely needed a chocolate bar when you wrote that one up :P

3) I see Legal/Medical as being much more necessary for teams that are very competitive now - lower tier teams generally don't have cap trouble (at least I dont - I have 5 or so spots to fill and 20mill in space right now - so why do I need to worry about a player demanding an extra million?)

4) We talked about the whole roster and player hording that is happening, and personally, I don't see how having a better legal system will solve that problem - I see the solution another way - if I can't even sign 23 NHL regulars and my ability to attract UFA's isn't that strong then whats the point of having a legal team? My strategy is to stock up on as many quality prospects/picks as possible so in a few years I'll have 30+ NHL players ready and everyone else will be struggling to fill up their roster.

4) I don't even NEED to sign many more players as my roster is almost full (perhaps 1 or 2, but I have a TON of cap space), so if I'm not signing players, then the only thing I need to worry about is RESIGNING my players who's contracts expire this year... and like I said before, I still have a ton of cap space. Also, I don't need to worry about that until the off season... and guess what - once that rolls around I can change my front office budget up anyways

5) So if I have a ton of cap space, and all of my younger players I have to resign I really want them to be on my team in the future... why do I need Legal? It's only advantage is players MAY sign for up to $1mill less and MAY be less insistent on NMCs... honestly, seems totally useless for a team in my situation... next year, or the year after, I'm definitely going to start needing it, but not now :P

A question for some of the veterans or theminister, if he's around to answer.

Regarding the FO, there are clear benchmarks for each area at different price ranges, but what is the difference in actual terms of benefit from setting your budget at a specific benchmark, versus $1 or $2 million above it?

Example: The Medical benchmarks are at either $8 million,( 'out indefinitely' can be placed on IR.) or $10 million,( 'expected to miss...' can be placed on IR.) or $15 million,( 'day to day' can be placed on IR.)

Is there any perceived benefit to setting your Medical budget at $13 million or at $9million? Or is it only beneficial once you've met the benchmark, and exceeding it without reaching the next one is in all reality unnecessary?

Thanks to anyone and everyone who can share their experience from last season and provide some insight to the newer GM's.

Sharpy of my knowledge there is no reason to go part way to the next benchmark. You won't have any more benefits then a team who spent to the benchmark and not a penny over. I hope this clears this up.

This is not accurate. Ask the team that missed out on Alex Tanguay this summer.

Yoshi and I went over some things via pm, I'm at work and on my iPhone so maybe if he sees this before I get home, he can post up my reply to his question for everyone to see.
