FIRST MOVE!
Fire Randy Carlyle!!!!

Trade #1
Trade James Reimer and Colton Orr to Calgary for 3rd Round Pick
Simple, Burkie believed in Reimer when he was here, and this could create good competition in the net for Calgary, They take a low risk and it could end up with High Reward if Reimer gets his confidence and game back. Orr is just a throw in, would do wonders on a line with McGrattan.

Trade #2
Trade Cody Franson to San Jose for 2014 2nd Round Pick
I feel Franson could be a good PP specialist if SJ cant re-sign Dan Boyle, another low risk high reward move for SJ.

Trade #3
Trade Carl Gunnarsson to Edmonton for 2015 2nd Round Pick
We all know Edmonton needs defense, and Gunnarson is a solid defender

Trade #4 THE BIG ONE
[b]Trade Jake Gardiner + Joffrey Lupul + Nazem Kadri + 2014 1st Round Pick + 2014 2nd Round Pick (Via SJ) for Shea Weber[/b]
Timmy L I believe is gonna pressure Nonis into doing some major this off-season. Our problems start and end with defense!! Why not acquire the best defenseman in the NHL (in my mind) Nashville gets a surplus of picks, and a young defenseman in Gardiner. Plus they get Lupul who would be a good fit within Nashville and would add some offense to their line-up. Now onto Nazem Kadri, They need a offensive stud for years, and he brings that. Plus it takes some financial issues away from the Nashville Owners and Webers Massive contract

Your first three trades are actually fairly humble. Kudos.

All dumb as hell for Toronto but all humble :lol:

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

Plan Stanley Cup parade in October.

Sigh despairingly in April.

      S76 SMJHL DRAFT 3RD OVERALL PICK     
        S77 SHL DRAFT 4TH OVERALL PICK         
                     IIHF TEAM NORWAY                      

Also Milan Michalek will pull in more than that and far more teams are going to want him than wanted Raymond. He's a 5 time 20 goal scorer... Something Raymond's done once.

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

My wishlist

Re-sign Winnik- 1yr, 2.0m
Re-sign- Perreault- 2yr at 1.75m
Re-sign Silvferberg- 2yr at 1.5m
Re-sign Robidas- 2yr at 3m

Selanne Retires
Koivu Retires
Hiller walks to free agency

Sign Giguere 1yr 1.5m
Sign Mihalek/Moulson/Gaborik for around 4-5m around 2yrs

Trade Sbisa for whatever we can get
Buyout Souray
Trade Palmieri+DSP+Vatanen+ANA 1st for Kesler

Mihalek/Moulson/Gaborik-Getzlaf-Perry
Silvferberg-Kesler-Etem
Cogliano-Bonino-Winnik
Maroon-Perreault-Belesky/Jackman

Fowler-Robidas
Lindholm-Beauch
Lovejoy-Fistric

Andersen
Giguere

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

We would keep Milan if he's coming for that money

@Dion or @me?

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

All trades are actually okay, except 4th. Terrible.

Yeah I don't see Weber going anywhere, the worst part of his contract is over from a Owner/GM's point of view and what he brings to the team is invaluable

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!
