OK. Here's a game that people can play if they want where people can pretend to be the GM of a team, and we can make trades and stuff as if it's the offseason (no vegas expansion trades until we get closer to the expansion draft, though you may talk about those trades). You may ask for a team, and i will give you that team if it isn't already taken. My favourite teams are the Rangers and Islanders tied, so i'll be the Islanders. Each person may only be the GM of one team.
Here is the list of GMs (i will update it when someone claims a team):
Anaheim Ducks - TrueNorth https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/345664

Does Parayko for 8yrs at 4.5mil, 36mil total contract work?


Too many years and too little $$$.


That's the point of more years for a young player, to get them to sign for less.

6yrs @5mil?

Yes but the thing is, if that kid thinks he can get $6-7 on his next deal then why would he sign for so long at a low number. I think if you want to bridge him it will be a 2 year $5 per deal

What happens if you pick a team and just don't want to do it anymore? Will someone replace you if you quit?

As Vegas, can i sign free agents that are not part of a team and how will free agency work once this gets underway?


We're still trying to figure that out.


We won't see the official protected lists for a while. Are we mirroring those, or are we doing our own?
1. All teams need to be claimed and have a trade period before submitting their protected lists
2. Vegas gets 48 hours to outbid teams for their own UFA's (You can't bid on a protected UFA)
3. If Vegas wins a UFA from their original team, they don't get to pick a player from that team
4. Vegas gets a period of time (perhaps in the same 48 hours) to submit official trades related to expansion draft
5. Vegas makes their remaining selections after that period, including their official trade transactions

As it is right now, Vegas is going to be bored for a while. They'll only be able to evaluate, monitor, and discuss possible deals.
Vegas can keep busy sorting through possible offers and seeing what they want/need and who to target.

But they don't even need to come to this thread often until the expansion draft.

We should do our expansion draft before the actual NHL so we aren't influenced by their protected lists and choices.

Yes, i want to make sure you don't take any of our D-Men cause we lose leddy or de-haan (whichever one you take in the expansion draft). I might trade though.

It's his first contract, he's only had 2 yrs in league and he's 23. I'd do 5, but he's not getting 6 yet. If I do a bridge deal he'd make far less per year, but cash out on his next deal


Then maybe a shorter contract (example: 2 yrs-4.5mil yr - 9mil total)


I would think something along the lines of 3 or 4 yrs x 4m per year is a fair deal.

I'll take the Carolina Hurricanes.

I thought I'd give this game a try, see if it's for me. Cool idea for sure.
