Rumoured to be looking for a BREXIT type negotiation... {sorry - couldn't be helped} 50.1% of Tampa Bayians want Engelland to stay in Tampa.

I'm really surprised I'm not getting the offers I expected, especially for Karlsson/Krug/Doughty. I guess when everyone realizes there's a total of 2 UFA D with 70+PA (Burns who will easily get 10mil and Biega) things might change a bit, and they'll be here waiting for your legit offers

I'm surprised no one has made any offer for Nicholas Michael Leddy. Sure he was awful defensively two years ago, and awful offensively last year, but that means he can now put it together and not be awful at either end this upcoming NHL season. No? Anyone? Side story on him actually, I volunteered at the combine in his draft year and he had the higher vertical jump, and scored really well on the fitness tests. Also a nice guy overall. How about now?

Yes Hunter! I want to make sure he goes to a respected organization, one where he can put it all together and eventually reach his potential of a Keith Yandle. The Wings can do that for him.

I haven’t really gotten any offers on my guys either. I’m ok with just holding and continuing my perpetual “retool” however.

I think it's tough right now because all those teams know you guys are looking to drop salary. They may be hoping to handcuff you and pick up some value in FA. Also didn't help that 4 teams flooded the market with premium players at the same time

Also having the cap space of a beer league team is not helping me right now.

When everyone wants a 20 year old superstar + more for their 30 year old last contract player, its hard do much trade talking and get anywhere.
I usually don't bother even asking about good players anymore, people always want too much for them.

I usually don't bother even asking about good players anymore, people always want too much for them. That's a good point! I guess Jake and I should be asking for late round picks for some of the highest rated players in the game. Karlsson has the highest PA rating for a D (and consistently does), 4th rounder please! Stamkos for a couple of mid-20's players who were drafted 5 years ago and still haven't cracked the NHL, should be a no-brainer! It's crazy, now looking back I see that a top 5 player with 5-years left has never been traded for a young 20-year old who had one decent season so far in his career, weird!

Geez Jon, nobody said it had to be that bad. Karlsson is great (when he is healthy), but trading half your roster for such a player is pointless. Guys always trying to secure entire rosters for 1 guy at the end of his career and its just annoying.
