Canuck Surfer Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The Minnesota Wild are excited to congratulate the real life Pittsburgh Penguins on their Stanley Cup! We are even more excited with the fantastic showing, leading all scorers with 30 points in 24 games, of forward Logan Couture. We'd also like to congratulate Colin Wilson on a strong post season showing. Both pushed tough injury filled regular seasons out of memory & showed what they can really do! Logan & Colin will help make up a group of 6 & as many as 7 top ten drafted forwards give us a ton of reason to believe a big rebound season is in store for our fans! With a healthy look up front > off season plans are said to include jumping into free agency with gusto & possibly the trade market to improve the back end. We have added in 6 months Darnell Nurse, Petter Granberg, Jordan Schmaltz, Rinat Valiev, Jakob Jerabek, Maddison Bowey & Jan Kostalek, Markus Niemelainen & Kale Clague into our D prospect group. We only expect to ramp up such focus to improve our NHL defence & now even more pertinently our goal tending. We're after core & blue chip not rental players. All inquiries to the GM's inbox via PM please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Ottawa is hesitant on moving any core players. Any inquiries would likely be declined until closer to the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 In what has become a fleury of excitment in Vancouver a third trade has been reached, we believe and in the final processes... we also believe this to be the last such trading we will see in June. Time to let the dust setlle and evaluate our build so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Vancouver Canucks business: Ilya Nikulin is contracted to Dynamo Moscow for next season, has never played in the NHL and is under contract with my team for next year. Other leagues allow a contract to be destroyed penalty free if a player is signed to an overseas team ....if that is an option here I would like to annul the contract and remove it from the Canucks team sheet. If that is not an option here: The Vancouver Canucks have unconditionally waived Ilya Nikulin for the purposes of a buyout and we would now like to excercise that buyout (unless we can anul the contract). Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Nikulin was signed by Vancouver while he was still overseas, so the voiding of his contract is unavailable. If he had been signed by Vancouver while he was playing in North America, the voiding of his contract would be fine. I will process this buyout shortly!

Thank you. Unfortunately, it's the latter. There are two players, that I'm aware of in our league, that fall into this category. Nikulin being one, the other being Viktor Tikhonov. The exact reasoning can be explained by @Nail. However, because the contract was signed prior to Nikulin being brought into the NHL, the contract must be bought out, or left to hang. This is why I was in such a hurry to shed Tikhonov's contract any way I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Cool and thank you for the explanation.. I will file a full team depth chart and affiliate league depth chart after the dust clears from a couple trades, the buyout and a soon to be announced assignment to the minor league.

Monty Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 With expansion looking more and more like a reality, going to get very interesting about who I protect and who I leave open after next season. Looking like the player I'll lose will be James Reimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be able to take that contract off your hands... ...all it takes is a sick mom and he could be back in Mother Russia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, worst case scenario after next year and he books it back to Russia (highly unlikely), he gets put in the minors and there's no cap hit.

Nail Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Little late, but would like to congratulate Bolts players Carl Hagelin and Brian Dumoulin on the Stanley Cup! Also congrats to Joonas Donskoi on a stellar playoff run! Watching all three play as well as they did gives me more hope for next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
