Anyone else excited to see what gets posted once trading opens? I know about a couple of done deals and may even have completed one or two myself, but I'm always anxious this time of year to see what bombs will get dropped!

I certainly have a few trades I'm ready to put up.
I'm betting on something like 20+ trades opening day.

I have my usual 3-way deal on the 1st day(3 seasons in a row), includes Anh and Chi. One blockbuster with Vancouver. That's it for me at this point, did try a few other deals that fell through.

I got the one deal only (but tons of meaningful trade discussions, mind you!); very intrigued to see what GMs have been up to and definitely sounds like several blockbusters on the go!
I love the excitement level of the league in the offseason, after so many yeas. This season should be another epic one.

I've had some opening talks, but nothing too substantial yet. I basically just need a goaltender for my team as my pro roster for the first time in team history has no real gaps for the skaters. Unfortunately a goalie is probably the hardest thing to acquire right now for a reasonable price, so I may start the season with Varlamov.

I might have missed, but when's trading actually projected to open? I wanted to finish up the activity check and everyone has checked in, there is only one GM not returning and I've known this for a while now. I think I've given everyone enough time to check the unassigned list so I need to update in the next day or two then we can open trading and player drops. I'd rather bring in a new GM from within, so if anyone knows anyone who might be interested then please let me know asap!

I'd like to extend this invitation specifically to Hunter. You've been a great addition to the league since you joined, so if you have any buddies you think might be interested, get them in here!

Out of respect, I'll change name of Coach if he comes on, as well! Behind the scenes, Hakan Loooooob, Kent "The Magic Man" Nilsson (younger guys will have to google these former Flames) have been doing great work as assistant coaches and we have Mike Bossy coaching in the minors. (Gary has my man Al MacInnis in St. Lou
