Really don't get why all the extra money is being thrown at Backstrom when Kiprusoff is rated better, and going to sign for less.

Very surprised to see a lot of teams not saving money for unassigned claims, especially with many teams short on players

Very surprised to see a lot of teams not saving money for unassigned claims, especially with many teams short on players I myself intend on filling my roster via the use of the farm salaries, when the season starts, the only shortcoming is most the good players will be picked over. We get 2 wks to fill our roster, when the season starts, not sure the software will allow us to do lines though, if we are under the 35 min roster requirment.

I think it may be a mistake, not allowing us the use of the farm before the season starts. We already took measures to hold bidding down, now we have to pay farmers full contracts before the season starts while trying to fill your roster. There was alot of talk about how dead FA is, cause no one has alot of money to spend imo, unassigned will be even deader till we are allowed to pay the farm - minor league salaires.

i couldnt disagree more
youll be able to use your farm to pick up dead weight crap guys, u just wont be able to pick up anything with upside.
if you needed room to fill out your roster u needed to save cap space. We all knew ahead of time, i think its just that we eventually neded to control salaries, and we have.
unassigned sucks this year, but even if it didnt, its all our responsibilities to watch our cap space. and as far as \FA being dead, i dont really see it. all the big names got/are getting paid, and like every year there are a few steals that some people got away with......

IMO FA was great this season. I'm happy that GMs are forced to control themselves because of salary constraints.
I thought in seasons past we were able to send players to the farm prior to unassigned claims?

I thought in seasons past we were able to send players to the farm prior to unassigned claims? You were. However per the several posts I made and minimum two e-mails I sent out regarding this, unassigned claims will be under cap for this offseason. Will we do a week of unassigned claims under cap, then teams can send players to the farm and teams that didn't have room can then make claims on the remaining players.

In other words guys, like FA, if you cannafford to bid on the higher level unassgned then you cannot sign them and you fill your roster with left overs that got no bids.....Seems like the same as past at least that is how I thought it was in past....I guess what I am saying is you can pick-up players as long as you have money, but you cannot bid on a player that has multiple bids if you do not have money avalable to do so. Maybe we should only be able to bid on those minimun guys, but if need 2nd bid, then you need to be under cap....
