Jay still playing, or has he started to drift away?

Jay makes moves. His fall this past season from finalist to out of the playoffs apparently came from not realizing he could go over the cap to re-sign his own guys. He cut his starting goalie, and two big scorers to stay under the cap unnecessarily.

I would be too. Biryukov is 16 years younger and over $5M cheaper.

$39.9M -(Wilber + Salmonsson) =  (Biryukov + Drenner)

Im going to hold on to Salmonsson. He has the potential to be a lot better.

to each their own, but that 63 stamina would bother me to death. That's why I singled him out.

if anyone wants to make another team there are 8 spots open in my custom league.  season 2 playoffs are about to start so now is the time to join.  i just deleted 4 inactives so the FA should be good.  league name Goon Squad no password.  4 mill tv contracts and salary cap is on

I jumped right in Bob.

I jumped in as well Probie (MN North Stars).

I signed up.. Hawaii Tropic Lightning

BAD NEWS: 
My tourney league team got it's **** pushed in 7-1 tonite, outshot 46-19 by a team that got demoted from Tier 3.

GOOD NEWS:
I fleeced the **** out of a no-English speaking mothafucker in a trade. Check this out:

Strengthen Goaltending and Defensemen-check
Get bigger and younger-nobody on the roster over 30 yrs old-check
Add loads of potential-84.3 team avg-check

that's pretty fair work Speedy. Now the trick will be to keep resigning them and keep them together, and sooner or later your payroll will be around $50M too.

But as I see it, that's the only way to end up with $50M worth of players. It's a rare day when you catch a fire sale like AJ had, and get Probie (Shurak) and me (iseli) both buying. Get a team together for <$35M, and as they grow up, they grow into a high-priced monster.

Yep. I pretty much knew this would be my last go-around in free agency, and if I wanted to keep up with the Jones',I'd need to knock it out of the park. No more free agency for me.

shurak was a bit of a dud this year

I have like 8 expiring contracts this coming season. If I play my cards right (ha ha- knowing me I have a better chance of marrying a hot actress), this next go around might be my last go around in free agency.
