Primal Optimist Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Yeah, I want to assure every GM out there that I have not sat by idly watching my team wither in the standings..i have a trade in the que that nets me two NHL players for the price of one, and some other negotiations on hold pending a return to normality here. I am not a tanker, don't believe in it...just crappy luck this year: my number one goalie hurt and my star first line center that cost me dearly at the start of the season also in the hurt locker. I hate being last, and I intend to change it. I just wanted to clear the air before any finger pointing starts...to be clear, no one has said anything, but I know I would be thinking it if it wasn't me at the bottom! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roster moves have been slower to process this season but that doesn't mean teams are standing pat. Someone has to be at the end of the line at the end of the day, and through my experience working with this group of General Managers here I know we are all trying to manage our clubs to get to the top.

I've been where you are and it feels like you've been there forever at times. Every season brings new surprises, and your prospect pool has quite a few x-factors in there that could really shake things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not on vacation, I am involved in more family affairs at this time. 4 hours ago, Ty Webb said: Has anyone heard from Curt? Does anyone know when things will be updated? Just curious. I have not, I do not, I am as well. 4 hours ago, Captain Woodget said: The only thing I would like updating is my depth chart, only for my OCD and to make it easier for trade partners to see how I see my depth in each position. It can go right at the bottom of the list of things to do Minnesota Wild roster: Max Pacioretty - Jeff Carter - Corey Perry Colin Wilson - Frans Nielsen - Marian Gaborik Matt Calvert - Mikael Granlund - Jesper Fast Patrick Maroon - Andrew Shaw - JT Brown Matt Martin - Ales Hemsky Andrei Markov - Hampus Lindholm Trevor Daley - Ryan Murray Adam McQuaid - Luca Sbisa Ian Cole Jake Allen - Petr Mrazek I also would love this updated, to keep track of movements and for trading purposes. 3 hours ago, Bombastik der Teutone said: has anyone heard from anyone? commish missed , agents missed .. and this while i ll hardly try to re-sign an important player before the deadline january 1st ...several times bumped pm´s...no answer. but maybe they will be back soon ....lol The negotiation has to be started before January to be eligible for an " early extension ", apologies for any delays to GMs attempting to reach me to get players under contract, I will address all pms before any kind of deadline to do so to give you ample time to make decisions as well starting with time I have today. I love my assigned role here as an agent and truly appreciate your guy's time, just putting more time into my family this month to provide and enjoy the holidays.....expect replies at any time.

Also, I wish I could use iPhone emojis on here Any word on which game in February? I'm likely there for a few days in February, but which days are still not certain.

I do need an Aisle seat though. lol On December 18, 2015 at 9:48 PM, Squeak said: Feb 4 works for me. I inquired last month and it doesn't look like it will be a problem if we aren't in the 20 ticket range. By my count we were only around 12. I think we can wait until the new year and by a selection then. I think we should comment to that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
