Edmonton, you have definitely put together a nice looking team! You've got a good number of valuable players at this stage of your rebuilding effort however I would venture to guess you stepped into the GM role with some great young talent still laying around.

St.Louis is currently missing half their roster for one reason or another and it appears some of their best core NHL roster players are gone except for Halak.

Hi Franchise NHL GMs!

I wanted to post this before I forget again but I'm traveling a lot for work this week and then will take time off for a vacation next week.

February 13 to 18 I will have limited access to this site.
February 19 to 27 I will be on vacation with practically no Internet.

I know there are some possible deals shaping up. Rest assured I will work with you to finalize those deals if we can before the trade deadline and the start of my vacation.

Take care all!

To increase our team's flexibility for possible future moves the Ottawa Senators place Right Winger Brian Gionta on Long-term Injured Reserve. Per league rules we free up a roster spot.

Long-term Injured Reserve
Each team will be allowed to place 1 player on Long-term Injured Reserve (LTIR).  Players salary will still count against a teams cap, however this will free up 1 roster spot.

Thanks

The Ottawa Senators have decided to buyout Blair Jones given his recent injury (Broken Ankle, out 6 weeks if not longer) has made Jones expendable for the remainder of this year. We also make this move to clear a roster spot for possible future moves.

Blair Jones, $0.3m (2011-2012)
Buyout at $0.2 Million (2011-12)

Thanks!

Actually, the real life Blues are an amazing team! They've been nearly unbeatable since late November when they switched coaches. 

The Franchise NHL Ducks got destroyed by one trade last season that made little sense where they lost Getzlaf, Perry, Hiller and Fowler and in return received a bag of pucks, a pat on the back and a badly sung song and Mik' Koivu. How that deal passed I have no clue. 

Anyhow, my Senators are looking and feeling great these days. A number of nice trades have put my team in a position to compete this off-season for resources and in the standings next season. Since taking over Ottawa in late November, I've been able to reshape the core and rebuild the farm so it's not impossible Jonathan. Either way we should look into doing a deal Jonathan.
