Koekkoek likely out for the season with a broken collarbone, Samorukov injured as well, Buffalo says no.

There's a strong rumor going around that Fleury could be returning to the Pens with Murray gone and Jarry struggling.

Maybe. I'm not going to worry about it anymore until the off season. I've got a considerable number of contracts expiring in the off season and some guys I don't want to lose for nothing. Thanks.

OK, that's what I thought, but I've noticed other armchair GM's have several of their roster re-signed with significant raises, so I'm wondering how they went about it. ??

I am still fairly new at this and can't figure out how I go about conducting a contract extension on my existing roster. Thanks for any help.

Thread: Goalie

Good job. I sent Mike Smith back to his old team as well along with Kassian. Got rid of Chiasson a while back for a pick and a prospect. Got Raanta back from the Coyotes as a 1B goalie with Kosky because Raanta is in the last season of his contract and I felt that Kuemper is the guy that Arizona would prefer to keep between the pipes. Raanta is a fellow Finn also, which is another angle that offers a strong camaraderie and partnership between the two netminders. UPDATE: With Smith injured long term, Arizona balked. Sent them Kassian and Stuart Skinner instead.

Thread: Change The Lineup

I like what you did there on the top 6. Very interesting. IMO, other than the additions of Turris and Ennis, it's the bottom six that need vast improvements. Kassian seems to be a shadow of his former self and clearly overpaid while Chiasson's contribution appears to be in decline as well. Khaira is practically useless. Any of these guys could be used as trade bait to bring in a decent long term backup goalie for Koskinen.

Thread: My first team plz dont judge me too hard

My only critique is that you need to stay within the salary cap to come across as credible and more realistic. I would advise to not only focus on your own team but also continuously research the other 31 teams on the many internet hockey sites and hockey rumor sites and determine what their needs are and what assets you might have on hand that would benefit both them and you in a trade. Not bad for your first attempt, far better than mine was. I've only been here since early October myself and was torn to shreds over approximately my first 4 tries. Some attacks can be quite disheartening and abusive and take the fun out of it, had to put a couple of GM's on the ignore list and report another 3 or 4 for breaking Forum rules. But by my fifth or 6th try things settled down and I'm enjoying it again. Welcome to CapFriendly.

Thread: Edmonton Extreme

You had pretty much the same idea I did. I traded Nurse for Ehlers as well. In your case though, you left gaping holes on your LD. As already pointed out, Klefbom is out for the season and with Nurse gone, it doesn't leave you with much on that side. You could A: trade for a first pairing defenceman which isn't likely or B: bring your young guys up from Bakersfield and let them have a go or C: create some cap room and plug those holes through Free Agency, which is what I did. One other thing, I wouldn't throw Puljujarvi to the wolves right away on the top line but ease him along gradually by starting him on the 3rd and see how he does.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bdawwwgy1</b></div><div>Right but Ehlers is a bonafide top liner on a great contract and Nurse is the worst player on a soon ending contract</div></div>

Added a 2022 second round pick which I think is more than fair. Winnipeg has a huge gaping hole on D with the departure of Byflugien this year and Trouba the year before that. The addition of Nurse would go a long way to address that. And I included a good prospect Adam Cracknell to sweeten it even further. McD finally gets his right winger that has long been missing. <a href="https://www.coppernblue.com/2020/9/3/21422304/does-winnipeg-want-to-make-a-deal-darnell-nurse-nikolaj-ehlers-ethan-bear-caleb-jones" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.coppernblue.com/2020/9/3/21422304/does-winnipeg-want-to-make-a-deal-darnell-nurse-nikolaj-ehlers-ethan-bear-caleb-jones</a>

Thread: If we would trade Nurse, Where does he go and what could be return?

The Winnipeg Jets sorely need to shore up their D while McDavid still needs a top quality winger. I would make a pitch for Nikolaj Ehlers in return for Nurse. Nurse would make an immediate impact on the Jets D while Ehlers can play either wing and be the perfect missing piece on McDavid's right side. And their salaries are very close to each other. Just my two cents.

Thread: Taylor_Hall 2 Islanders ?

Taylor has indicated he'd be willing to sign for less money and would accept a short term contract on a contending team. I would love to see him reunited on a line with Jordan Eberle if the Isles could make the cap room. Thoughts?
