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

Sorry, I asked Vegas if we were allowed to trade yet and he said he was trading now.

I've already made my expansion trade with Vegas, you can probably just go to him with a proposal for him to take someone.


And i've told you over and over again that in this game we aren't allowed to do that until the expansion draft.


And I've told you over and over again not to comment on the trade thread.

How about we make a deal: No commenting on the trade thread OR making expansion trades before the expansion draft. Deal?

So am I allowed to sign my own UFA's for next season? I am about to make my GM game thread for 2017-18, and was wondering if I can sign Thornton and Marleau. I've seen some other people do this, but I wanted to check and make sure it was OK first

Well i kind of made this game so why is everyone breaking a simple rule of making expansion trades? If someone tries to make an expansion trade i will comment on it and say that they are not allowed to do that yet.

You can IF we find something that says that they want to re-sign AND you sign them for a price that is not too unlikely to happen.

Can we make a thread and sticky it saying when the Dates of events are? It seems like these dates haven't been finalized yet and are still being talked about, but we should be starting in the next 2 to 4 weeks. Maybe make a new thread and just post the date / time of each event that we're doing so everyone can start planning for that and have the trades they want to make before each event done by then.

Nobody should be signing UFA's yet?

So as far as Thornton and Marleau go, they would both probably want to resign. Marleau is a Shark for life, and Jumbo has been there so long that I'd assume he'd want to resign, especially since they can get one last run at the Cup

That doesn't make sense. We can't do our own UFA signings and follow the league's UFA signings.

We already know the date of the Expansion draft.

No, i didn't say that. I just don't want to make them like RFAs as people will just re-sign all their UFAs.

Marleau might retire actually, and there's been talk about Thornton signing somewhere else.

You basically just told him he could sign Thornton and Marleau if someone writes an article/rumor that they want to re-sign and he picks a reasonable price. Sticking Out Tongue
That's pretty much the same as RFA, except he has to find someone online that thinks they will come back to SJ next year.

With RFAs we decide they will re-sign because they probably will.

Let's set things straight.

1. All UFAs will hit the open market

2. All RFAs can be signed by their respective teams if the respective team wants to resign them.

How does holding the draft on May 6th sound? It would be exactly 1 week after the April 29th draft lottery. This will give teams time to do research (if they want to) and trade their picks if they want.

Of course there's a chance that they retire. And where did you hear that Thornton is signing somewhere else?

Some UFAs will re-sign but we have to make sure we can find something that shows that the player really wants to re-sign.
