Master Mind Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Big thanks to @Nail for allowing @somethingvery and I to move to Winnipeg. We leave behind a great team in San Jose. I'm very curious to see how the team does under new management. I hope that we set the Sharks up for yearly success, with great core pieces in place, and plenty of quality depth. (I'll definitely want to make some deals with the next GM!) Now onto Winnipeg. Upon hearing of the opening, I immediately inquired about a potential move. Not just because of how good the team was, but more so personal reasons. I've been coaching Peewee ball hockey for 6 years, and in my 2nd year, we won the championship, despite a lousy regular season. Then the year after, another poor reg season, but another trip to the final. The name of that team? The Jets. The name would get changed the following year due to sponsors. It's understandable from a business perspective, but as a coach, it's not as great. Now I can no longer tell the players to turn on the Jets, even though it was a painfully bad pun. I miss being the Jets, and while I can't get that name engraved on a Cup again, the name can still live on in the form of fantasy championships!

Monty Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Extension: The Calgary Flames have extended defenseman Simon Despres to a 2 year contract extension, worth $3M ($1.5M AAV). Thanks to GM @BM24 for the fair offer and quick negotiation. @Nail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 NOTE: When you go to the Pending Free Agent SS ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/102tkwG1iz18HdHxmFpgOWY7qOW3-TpB-j9ESlI-Qv8E/edit#gid=1298828430 ) You will see that very few RFA players are in italics. This means they have been qualified, or discussions have begun for an extension. Please remember to qualify or send in an extension offer to begin negotiations, or they will become UFAs.

To CAR: 26th overall To EDM: 32nd overall, 126 overall, 130th overall Thanks to @theminister for the quick negotiations on this. It really didn't take long, as we only started discussing about 30 minutes before the trade was finalised. I still carry two more 5th round picks, and chances are they'll end up like Loik Leveille, instead of Keegan Kolesar or Aleksi Saarela. So trading those two 5ths I had really wasn't a biggie.

You're missing out on the opportunity to draft some A-grade names though, so that's disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
