They have Greg McKegg leading the league in +/-, while Nate Schmidt has -56! No one has cracked -40 in years... Is that why all the numbers on fantrax are messed?

canuckledraggin Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 It really means that McKegg is the greatest signing of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmen81 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 BreakingNews: The GM of the Minnesota Wild has stepped down effective immediately. No word on whether his AGM @Baer. will take over or not. It wasn't an easy decision as he thought about what he wanted to do for the past couple months, but he felt it's probably best for the league if he steps down and let someone more active to take over. He says a big thanks to all involved who helped run the league and wishes you all good luck in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the offseason with Talbot, Lundqvist, Neuvirth, and Dell, @Rampant Raccoon and I knew that we had to move a goalie. We explored all options with different teams in the league - we reached out to 15-20 teams in the league to discuss potential trades in the last 3 months. Some negotiations were brief (some guys didn't even reply) while others were long and hard. We came close to several deals but the one we decided to take was this one to move Lundqvist to Arizona. The decision to decide who to move and which deal to take was probably the hardest I've had to make in 2 years as GM of this team. We would like to extend a huge thanks to Arizona GM @thejazz97 for the extremely quick negotiations. We began talking about a trade yesterday and while we discussed a variety of players and packages, this one came together very quickly earlier today. We believe that the 1st and Harper will be huge future pieces for Arizona's young team while Lundqvist will replace Shattenkirk's present day production immediately. On behalf of the Pittsburgh Penguins organization, I'd also like to thank Henrik Lundqvist for his two years of service in Pittsburgh. He was my first pick during the inaugural CDC Puck draft and I had every intention of winning a championship with him as the backbone of the team. While he didn't have the best season last year, he was brilliant for us two seasons ago and I'm confident he can rebound this year. Thanks to commissioner @Master Mind for processing this trade. We'll be open to opportunities to move one of our top 4 dmen for a top 6 forward. Reach out if you are interested!

Canuck Surfer Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Holy Schmolies @thejazz97 Really a nice deal for both teams. Big return for Arizona. Leveraging the goalie glut into a top D for Pitt. Nicely done boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And welcome Henrik!!! Borgstrom, national champ at the U of D was a great acquisition for us. Also influential. In June 2016 we traded down from our 2knd rounder and got 3 later round picks. The first of which was the 3rd rounder we used to pick Henrik. He has progressed well enough, we felt we had the depth to move Tyson Jost. Which landed us Brady Skjei, an immediate impact top 4 D. We expect one more year developing & are wildly excited to unleash Henrik Borgstrom next season! But his progress warranted a contract & we'll see him at camp!

I'd like to congratulate GM @Master Mind for building a team that had to be predicted as the #1 seed going into last year's unpredictable playoffs. The NYR's went for it and just came up short, but that wasn't due to it's GM lack of elite clever and strategic moves. Id also like to thank those GM's who voted for me, it's a true honour to share this with someone with the calibre and class of MM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to congratulate @somethingvery on his second straight GMOTY win. He built a juggernaut of a team, winning the Presidents Trophy with ease, but suffered the same fate as my Rangers in the playoffs. After a 2nd overall finish followed by 3rd, it won't be easy to keep that up. I'm glad I got to share this victory while my team's window is still open. Thanks to everyone who voted for me. There were about 8 GMs that received votes, and @D-Money was one vote shy of making it a 3 way tie. And now, I rest, as that marks my 10,000th post. Best of luck to all GMs this upcoming season!

somethingvery Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Chicago is open for business as we all prepare our teams for training camps and the beginning of the season. I have good, active NHL forwards and defenseman that could be added to a roster which needs it; don't hesitate to knock on my door to start a mutually beneficial transaction.
