Sorry about the wait on this since I said I'd post something in the morning. Had to iron a couple things out and then went out for dinner.

So basically I'm just going to give freewill to temp GMs just for the trade deadline. Do whatever you want for the next week, it's fine with me. I'm also going to change the status of two players to help their respective teams out since they need it. They are:

1. Roberto Luongo. I'm manually setting his contract to 4.5 mil for 1 year, all offers are to be directed to our very own auction specialist mhaydis. Same as any other auction, the best offer wins. No one one wanted him at 7 mil last off-season, I'm hoping a lower salary can generate some kind of interest. If he wasn't retiring I wouldn't touch his salary but a bottom feeder like the Blues can't afford to lose someone of his calibre for nothing.

2. David Legwand. Ottawa was decimated by retirements last season, they can't afford to lose yet another player for nothing so I'm getting rid of his NTC. I'll take offers for him since I'm Ottawa's temp. Again, best offer wins. All offers for me need to be by PM though, I never have time to sit around on IM.

Hopefully this livens up the deadline and makes things a little more interesting around here.

Oh right and I forgot to mention you can't trade with yourself.

Though that should probably be obvious.

2 more things

1 - Brian came to me and asked if he could do some minor deals for Buffalo. Seeing as he was the last one to do a makeover on that team's lines and with Colin MIA, I gave him the ok.

2 - Forgot to mention the actual deadline. It'll be at 7 EST, an hour before the sim. It's longer than usual so it's a hard deadline. If you post a trade at 7:01 then you're SOL.

Hey guys, I'm actively looking to trade today.

Menovski, Makarov and Iafrate are my only untouchables. EVERYONE ELSE could potentially be traded (not necessarily shopping everyone though)

Main ingredients on the block (shopping) :

Bryzgalov
Jerabek
and the eternal combo : Kittenshark (aka Shattenkirk) and Maxwell (aka Maxwell House)

Well, I'd like to think I got the Sabres going a bit more in the right direction. Here's a summary of what I was able to accomplish in less than 24 hours:

Incoming:
F Antti Miettinen, Patrick Eaves, Denis Parshin (will sign after tonight's sim), Blake Comeau
D Jeff Woywitka, Grant Lewis
P MTL 4th 2017

Outgoing:
F Ondrej Fiala, Scott Jovanovski (AHL)
D Alexey Batyrshin (prospect), Michael Ratchuk, Bruno St. Jacques
P LA 3rd 2016, BUF 4th 2016
$2 mil in cash

I set out to achieve 3 realistic goals for Buffalo:

1) Upgrade the D
2) Bring in some defensive forwards to get the GAA down
3) Faceoff help

Although there are no huge additions, I think I hit on all 3 which makes this a successful deadline for them in my books. I now happily step down from their post...short of sending HQ's for a couple more sims to sort the mess out.

All in all, pretty entertaining deadline, lots of late deals and quite a few big ones too. Well done, guys.

Yeah, that was pretty awesome to see. Glad I made the changes I did for the deadline. Reminded me of the days of yore at HW when we still used YIM.

Good deadline IMO, pretty happy with the trades I made for Ottawa.

Once again, huge splash in Uniondale at trade deadline. Made 2 of the 3 trades I wanted to make. Sad that the other one did not go through as it was the master piece of my plan.

That must have been the biggest deadline for me so far! woah!
incoming

Anisimov & solving my lifelong problems at 2nd C
Janet & SuperSayen offensive powers
Harry Hextall & stability & greatness
Sokolov & major offense prowness
Alzner & butt kicking

outgoing

Bryzgalov & the russian mafia
Jack Johnson & his guitar
Latendresse & his chocolate icecream supply (he gets the munchies when he's sad)
Maxwell & his sorry ass
Hagidi & his machine gun
Clendening

---

howeverall, the quality going was bigger than the quality coming in. However, The depth is GREATLY improved and that really helps how I can manage my lines. e.g. I will play Sokolov ONLY on PP whereas I used to play Latendresse on PK and PP, stealing a depth forward's job and having that depth forward whining.

I was happy with my team before the deadline. Now I am friggin ecstatic.

Adding a top line power forward who can play the wing with Stamkos or Tavares.

I had 4 playmakers which is just too many so I flipped one for a sniper in Balej. He hasn't scored in months, until I get him and in my tests he lights it up.

I also add two prospects, which wasn't my intention but they can be used as bargaining chips in future deals. I was working on another deal as well which would have been huge but we couldn't make the salary cap numbers work.

Losing Alzner, sucks... bad. But I still have a great core of defenceman. I better win the cup this year.

Southeast is a beast ! 3 of the 4 top teams in the league ... I need to maintain my division lead cause I don't want to have to think about the 1st round match up that you have right now.
