Listed where? He's not in the RFA thread. And no, I didn't edit it recently.

In game.

Hmm. The game was kind of behaving a bit oddly around draft time, in that it offered a trade between Dallas and NYI even though I'm pretty sure I kept 30 human GMs the whole time. I wonder if it snuck in some contract offers.

Dejersey would've either been UFA or signed with Boston. Whichever it was, he couldn't've ended up an RFA with Boston by the game making an offer. My guess would be one of the team numbers got edited to the wrong number and the game somehow decided that should make him RFA.

Oh, well, I probably messed up changing his rights then. I apologize for depriving y'all of the opportunity to sign him.

I entered a stupid number of contracts and all of the pending trades and buyouts, as far as I know. Let me know if you spot any errors.

Two things with my team:
- Ben Wright should be in LA
- Valtteri Puustinen is missing

In addition:
Conor Timmins' contract was entered but not the team, he's still listed as UFA.
Braydon Coburn should be 2 years.
Eetu Makiniemi (Carolina fast-sign in the waiver thread) was missed.
PK Subban should be 1 year.

Troy Donnay isn't with the Panthers.

I'll fix those issues later tonight and remove retiring flags sometime in the next week (we still have a few days to go before we catch up to the game date).

I just noticed that Ryan Murray has been shooting right his entire EHEC career (he shoots left IRL). I'm not sure if it's something I should fix eight years after he was drafted. Anyway, if you notice anyone else on your team using their stick backwards, let me know.

Also wondering about Dalton Smith, not on my roster.

If they're still in the free agency forum and not the Completed section, they didn't make the cut off for when Dan entered things (ie they'll be entered in the next batch).

My understanding is that EHM ignores handedness so it doesn't really matter.

OK cool.

I just noticed this year that Gailev is actually set to LH in the game, while he's RH IRL. I've had him playing RW his all whole career cause I thought he was RH in-game.

So my micromanaging all these years has been a complete waste of time.

Hmm? He's been RH in-game for years.

I choose to believe that this is not true, and also that click does something.

Occasionally if my team is struggling I figure out a lineup (or at least a line or two) based on click and try it. It's probably possible to build an entire team of 1 click guys, it's so common.

Jesus. Did i mention I'm actually 82 years old?

Potential Norris -and maybe Hart?- candidate Tim Erixon should be on my roster but is still listed as a UFA.

I updated the file a couple of days to August 31. Preseason will begin on September 5.

Since it is now September 1 (or will be the next time I update the file), it's open season (with rules, of course) on RFAs. You have two weeks to make your bids before they accept their qualifying offers.

Montreal Canadiens are rumoured to be planning a trade sending right wing Martin Pospisil to Dallas Stars for center Dmitri Zavgorodny and DAL 5th round pick in 2021 draft

Rumours from various sources around the league say that the Montreal Canadiens are looking for a 1st line center and that Dmitri Zavgorodny would be a good fit there. Same sources also know that Dmitri Zavgorodny is being actively shopped around.

Does the game actually think Zavgorodny is a better option than what I currently have?


Nino Niederreiter should be a Flyer.

Where did my Nino go??!

Goodness. Zavgorodny won't ever make an NHL roster even when fully developed.
