OK folks for this final batch you may bid on any player STILL on the UFA list.

Deadline for offers is Wednesday 11:59 PM (MST)

This will be our final batch. After this all UFAs will be signed via our 750K first come, first served rule.

Questions?

Any predictions on who gets signed today and for how much? Fairly slim pickins. Hopefully the Jets get a guy or 2

I think Bryce Salvador was the big prize of this group. I'll guess that someone pays him 750k for 2 years.

Are you saying you offered Mr. Salvador more than $1.5M per?

I know another team that is about 3 times that much

I'll reveal the results shortly. But Salvador was indeed the popular guy.

Here's a name though that generated minimal interest though for a 72 OVR dman. Jason Cullimore.

Someone got a steal of a deal on this feller.

And someone signed Dick!

Mccree · 08-02-2007, 11:02 AM

Who signed Dick? I wonder???? Signing of the year.

No it was not me.

Holy Blue Blazes.....how was Cullimore still a 72 OV guy, he doesn't even have an NHL job this coming year.

Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap I'm not gonna get Salvador then... BOOOOO who the hell is offering Salvador more than 1.5M??!!!!!!

looooob · 08-02-2007, 11:11 AM

hehe. Cullimore was indeed on my short list along with Salvador

I'm not sure it so unreasonable that people may have offered these guys (yes I'm defending myself) >1 M contracts. they can play without hurting you. seems like sanity has returned to the CPHL at least. last year these guys probably would have been given 3.5 M by someone like me, now even 750 K is being questioned

well I guess we did, but it sounds like someone trumped us

the guy has DF and OV ratings over 70. why not pay the man?

I've noticed a couple of guys we overlooked or over-rated. There is a 70 OVR forward that didn't even play in the NHL last year. Boo. Can't catch them all I guess.

Yeah, when you're trying to filter through 1500 players I guess that happens here and there.

I saw Cullimore but instantly dismissed him as being like a 68 guy without even checking his rating....D'oh!
