I’m sure with teams striking out, Eller might have more interest. Seems like this is what happened with NYR going after Smith. Plus, NYR avoided a long term contract when they have quite a few contracts expiring in the next 1-3 years. - drummer829
Right, we're not even 4 hours into FA guys. Idk if Eller and Acciari get moved before the season, but def by the TDL. Let some teams start to panic that they're short on vet Cs first. |

Legit no takers for Smith that the price was so low with 25% retention? Hmm I wonder if there was an issue with his no trade list or that people know he is a pure rental? |

Me to. It's just this season I am going to up my game to the 8-9% IPA's instead of the 5-6% I currently enjoy. That way the 2nd and 3rd periods will be more tolerable because I will be more inebriated....

25% retention probably helped Rangers with their salary cap and thus why they got the 2nd. And not a 3rd or 4th. He’s been a pure cap dump for back to back years. |

They should be about the same as last year if Sid and Geno stay healthy. It'll still be fun to watch the games, even though they'll just be scraping by to try and stay in the WC race. I enjoyed last season despite them missing the playoffs again. |

Hahaha you were in here bashing him just a few days ago saying no one would want him. You could do worse than him for less than a 4 mill cap hit in a contract year. - MattStrat
Yeah most of all didnt like his attitude problems with Pens...maybe he will bounce back in contract year but geez you would think he would have been thrilled to play with Crosby |

No Crosby extension yet. I was told not to panick. Does he get traded at the deadline or this season? Or signs soon. |

You can swing a C to the wing so it isn't a terrible problem. - Aaron_85
Acciari is also a much better wing than center. And Hayes plays RW. I’m not worried about a C bottleneck. |

How is Eller or Accari not traded yet? We have too many C’s. - Brownsoldier
Many of us have been saying Accairi would be better off at wing. Hayes can definitely play wing. It is squeezing the young guys a bit if 4C isn't open because that's the best spot for Poulin, Ponomarev, or Gruden, though again they've all played some wing. |

GMs are kind of busy today, so I'd wait a little before panicking. I will feel better once it's done though. |

Man I don't see it. A lot of guys played over their heads down the stretch, but at some point I think they really miss Jake. And asking for a third straight season of a healthy Sid and Malkin.... I could see a complete train wreck.
Edit barring other moves of course |

We resigned Bemstrom and signed Lizotte who could play the 4th line center spot (we also signed 3 players to WBS). |

Yeah I hear ya. As a GM I would have leaked it in order to entice other players to sign in Pittsburgh. |
