I think those are good calculated risks that make sense - but if they were exempt and their contracts could be terminated if they don't wind up in the NHL, the implication would create a mess (and a huge workload for Nail and agents), with GMs signing all the talent in Europe to gain potential rights without consequence.

My interest was in a young player/prospect (Nakyva) - who can't be drafted - with the grey area being whether they can be assigned to the AHL (as irl). The point was moot as Nail beat me to the punch regardless - but I think it makes sense that their cap hit applies regardless, otherwise in a league with no minor's cap, there is also no consequence to a signing like that (additionally so if not subject to waivers).

Agreed. Otherwise, what's stopping someone from throwing out an absurd amount of money if there are no repercussions.

Sorry, just reading through the last few posts, and to answer the question:

If a player is signed out of North America, they are eligible for contract terminations if they sign overseas.

If a player is signed out of Europe, they aren't eligible for contract terminations if they sign overseas.

But, in both cases, if the player retires, they are eligible for contract terminations (as long as it isn't a 35+ contract)

We have a trade to annouce...

To PIT: Semyon Varlamov, Hudson Fasching, NYI 2016 3rd Round Pick

To NYI: Nick Shore, Tyler Graovac, Stuart Percy, OTT 2015 2nd Round Pick, PIT 2015 3rd Round Pick

We have a trade to announce...

To PIT: Casey Cizikas, Marko Dano, Michael Bournival

To NSH: Zach Bogosian, Johan Larsson, PIT 2016 2nd Round Pick

Very pleased with these deals, thanks to lethunder & the tandem of oldnews & SwedeHockey in the negotiations. Although we gave up many assets for the future, the addition of help now with Varlamov & Cizikas will bode well with the current roster & the future is looking good as well with the addition of promising young prospects in Dano, Bournival & Fasching.

With these moves, the roster is looking better but there is still room for improvement...

Chris Kreider - Derek Stepan - Mark Stone

Mikael Granlund - Frans Nielsen - Craig Smith

PA Parenteau - Patrik Berglund - Casey Cizikas

Taylor Beck - Tuomo Ruutu - Teemu Pulkinnen

Michael Bournival

Ryan Suter - Justin Faulk

Olli Maatta - Alec Martinez

Morgan Rielly - Dmitry Orlov

Paul Postma, Tim Erixon

Semyon Varlamov / Reto Berra

Our needs look to be an upgrade for our bottom six forwards, back-up goaltender & another top six winger would be welcomed.

Here it is folks, the nominees for the GM of the Year. I'd like to let you guys know of a few things first, so here they are:

1) Picking from the nominees, all GM's are to send myself a PM titled "GM of the Year Voting" with their top 3 choices listed in order from 1 to 3.

2) The number 1 choice for each GM gets 5 points, number 2 choice gets 3 points, and number 3 choice gets 1 point. The GM with the most points at the end of all the voting wins.

3) Please don't vote for yourself (looking at you JE)

4) I will not read any of the PM's until the date where I announce the winner, therefore nobody will be notified of who may be in the lead until the final tabulations (unless you guys tell each other who you voted lol)

5) There are lots of great GM's in this league, but I had to narrow this great group to only 9 nominees. If you weren't nominated, please don't take any offence as I tried my best to pick the top 9 nominees

6) I may not have posted all of the great moves each nominee has made, so if you remember another significant move that the specific GM made, please keep that in mind when voting. Some of the trades I posted were larger trades, but I kind of shortened down into the larger parts of the deal (which is why the trades may seem smaller than they actually were)

7) As soon as we have all 30 GM's vote, I'll count the votes and announce the winner (consider this as an activity check ;))
