NYI's New York Islanders BAGM

[New York Islanders GM]

So since I wanna try and fit in, I'm going to start my own BAGM season, but this time with the New York Islanders. I'm also not starting at the draft, since I don't really want T.Hall for free .

Since I have changed the ratings of a lot of guys in my game, ill let you know what my starting lineup is looking like right now.

M.Moulson 80 - J. Tavares 80 - K Okposo 81
R. Schremp 79 - D.Weight 79 - T.Hunter 81
S.Bergenheim 78 - J Bailey 78 - B. Comeau 78
J. Tambellini 76 - F.Nielsen 74 - R.Park 77
spare - J.Joensuu 73

B.Witt 80 - M.Streit 84
B. Gervais 77 - J. Hillen 77
F. Meyer 75 - R.Martinek 76
spare, A.MacDonald 71, M.Flood 70

D.Roloson 84
R.DiPietro 84
M.Biron 80

So anyways, the boss wants 36 wins this season, reasonable.

Time to put my block up.

1. Martin Biron
2. Dwayne Roloson
3. B.Witt

If I can move one of these guys out for a solid foward, were going good.

Well we had a solid first game, 5-3 over Pitts, didnt see that coming.

Peter Budaj on waivers? Ill pass.

Boss just let me know that he won't be angry if I don't make the playoffs.

Brett Lebda on waivers now? Don't really need another minor league Defensemen.

Now Jeff Deslauriers onw waivers... If I didn't take Budaj, I gotta pass on you.

End of December we're 5-8-0 and 9th in the East, Let's continue with what we got and see how we do after november.

Doug Weight hurt for two weeks, oh oh, Lets call up Nate Thompson and see how he does.

so Weight is back now, and I sent Thompson back down along with Joensuu, MacDonald, and Flood. Have fun in Bridgeport guys!

Willie Mitchell on waivers? Thanks for the gift God! Claim.

Now we put Freddy Meyer on waivers... no one claimed so Bridgeport here he comes!

Scout called me, he said the draft class is weaker then normal... I should fire this guy.

end of november im 9-13-5 and 14th in the East, tied in 10th though... we obviously need someone to come in to help us out.

Karel Pilar is in the free agency, who put him there? Lets offer him 1.125 M for 1 year. He rejected saying that we're too talented for him... Did anyone tell him what team gave him this offer?

Time to move on. Upgraded my Scout, should help knowing that Hall is in this draft.

M.Leighton on waivers. Don't really need him.

P.Nokelainen on waivers, sure i guess we'll take him. Have fun in Bridgeport.

K.Okposo is out for two months with a broken leg. Perfect. C'mon back up Nokelainen.

After December we're 14-21-7 and still in 14th, time to make a trade offer.

LMAO Montreal has Cammalleri, Gionta and Gomez on the block. Make up your mind Gainey.

Kulikov is on the block, lets pull up an offer.

Trent Hunter and Matt Martin for Kulikov, no brainer for them, alright, thanks for kulikov.

Now we need to call up Jon Sim to fill a hole in the lineup. We put Martinek on waivers... once again no one claims.

Okposo is back, lets not rush this injury though, and we're in last anyways.

End of January we're in 13th 23-24-9. hmm... lets see what happens if we put okposo back in now.

Belak on waivers? our toughness level is a E? welcome to the island Belak.

we waived Nokelainen, he was claimed by Columbus, you bastards.

Well I acceidenly claimed Jay Pandolfo... theres a new bad contract...

Trade offer from Colorado J.Tambellini for R.Salei, ill pass

R.Park is now hurt for the next three weeks, he can rest during the olympic break.

Two days before the TD, were in 13th in the East 25-27-10. Lets try and move Biron now.

offer Anaheim M Biron for A.Ward 4th, 5th since they didnt have any other picks, they accepted. hopefully we can move Ward now.

Offer Adam Munro to play between the pipes for Bridgeport, 1 year 600k.

Added R.Schremp to the Trade Block.

Munro accepted. solid enough minor league goalie.

Trade Dealine, gotta make some moves, but I still only have 2 phones...

Trade offer from Tampa R.Schremp for K.Foster and a 5th. Hmm... Ill pass.

I offered J.Tambellini to Toronto for J.Rosehill, they rejected though.

oh well, lets quit that round. No big trades to announce.

Trade offer from vancouver S.Bentivoglio for B.Lukowich. Ill pass.

Trade offer from Phoneix, J.Tambellini and S.Bentivoglio for R.Lang and D. Winnik. lets counter Both those guys for S.Upshall and A.Naurov. They accepted.

Round over, still no big trades to announce...

Dal offers Steve Ott for R.Schremp. Nah, but lets counter Schremp for a Mike Card, they rejected

Last round of trading biggest trade was N Horton for B Sanguinetti. nicely done NYR.

Trade offer Vancouver Roloson and Schremp for Bieksa and Rypien. Deal.

Pitts no longer wants to pursue their offer...

One phone left, we need a backup.

Offered Toronto Joel Rechlicz and A.MacDonald for M Tellqvist. They Rejected. Well lets hope for Waivers now.

Chris Drury on waivers... pass great contract though
P.Nokelainen back on waivers... welcome back.

Well Adam Munro will now be our back up I guess.

Lineup now looks like this

M.Moulson 80 - J.Tavares 81 - K.Okposo 82
S.Bergenheim 78 - J.Bailey 79 - S.Upshall 80
J.Sim 75 - D.Weight 79 - B.Comeau 78
R.Park 77 - R.Rypien 75 - W. Belak 79
spare F.Nielsen 74

M.Streit 83 - W.Mitchell 83
A. Ward - K. Bieksa 80
D. Kulikov 78 - B. Witt 80
spare Jack Hillen 77

R. DiPietro 84
A.Munro 73

Well were 26-27- now and 24th in the NHL its not looking like we can pick Hall right now... well theres still guys like B.Connolly right?

our PP is average 18.8% and our PK is 27th in the league 75.8%.

Leading Point guys so far.

Goals - Matt Moulson 16
Assits - Josh Bailey 39
Points - Josh Bailey 53
+/- - John Tavares 15

More to be posted later on, maybe tonight.

[Allabouthockey - Former CGY GM]

[Hemskyfan - Former Carolina GM]

I think he edited the players.

[Hemskyfan - Former Carolina GM]

o yah maybe. thats awsome

[New York Islanders GM]

I did, my game is very realistic Also my team's opening song is Love me Sexy by Jackie Moon (will ferrell)

[New York Islanders GM]

Okay so let's countinue this thing.

Let's hope we can start losing more consitenly and grab a solid pick.

Daniel Larsson on waivers... young goalie with 1 more year on his contract that is better then munro, sure. Here's our new backup.

Jon Sim is done for the season, Nielsen is back in the lineup then.

At the end of March, we're 33-32-11 and 11th in the East and 5 points out of the playoffs. So now we're starting to win?

With us only having 6 games left and 2 points ahead of the 26th place toronto maple leafs, coach decided to put Larsson in net for the remening games.

Jon Sim is apperently back. Let's waive him. No one claimed. Bridgeport here Sim comes.

So the season is over, Bridgeport made the playoffs and finished 39-33-8. We unfornuatly finished 13th in the East 35-36-11. Didn't meet the boss' expectation, hope he doesn't give me the boot.

Boss, says he is upset but will let it go, better not disappoint anymore.

So we finished in the league. Our PP was and our PK was

Top Point leaders:

Goals - Matt Moulson 25, Sean Bergenheim 21, Scottie Upshall 19, John Tavares 19.
Assists - Josh Bailey 50, John Tavares 45, Matt Moulson 38
Points - Josh Bailey 65, John Tavares 64, Matt Moulson 63.
+/- - John Tavares 18, Matt Moulson 17, Willie Mitchell 11

Best AHL Player was:

LW Jesse Joensuu (73) GP 65 G 36 A 20 PTS 56 +/- 16

So the Stanley cup winngers were The Nucks who beat the Sens in 7 games. The Calder went to Manchester who beat Houston in 6 games.

So now it's time to look foward. We have a lot of guys to re-sign if we want to and we have to try and move up or get another 1st rounder in the draft.

Well Doug Weight retired. That's not really a bad thing. The biggest name that retired was Kozlov from Atlanta.

So after the prospect's game my scout told me too look out for

LW Sheldon Gill
RW Shawn Mason
RW Chad Holland
C Andrei Kondratiev
C Jaroslav Valabik

I think I might just go back the TSN scouting report instead.

So since I have the 6th overall pick, I am expected to take Cam Fowler. I'm suprised he is susposed to be go at 6. I thought I would be lucky to get a guy like that...

Alright so time to put the Trade Block up, let's see first who is considering moving their 1st.

Boston, Ottawa, Philly, San Jose. Ill try and get one of those picks.

Trade Block is

1. R.DiPietro
2. Jay Pandolfo
3. Frans Nielsen

DiPietro can get us something in return, I just dislike the other two.

So this is the big day, Dallas has the first. Let's see what I can do with only two phones.

Columbus with an offer, Jack Hillen for Samuel Pahlsson. Ill pass, may offer this around the 5th round though.

Here was my first offer, Bruno Gervais to Philly for their 1st. They're saying they don't want to move their 1st now. I guess that trade block lied.

Second offer, Gervais to Ottawa for their 1st? They accepted. Hopefully we can get like a Jon Merril at that point.

Taylor Hall went first, no surprise there.

our first pick at 6th overall. Cam Fowler, welcome to the Island.

our second pick at 29th overall. Kirill Kabanov is still here? Welcome to the Island.

Second round about to start, Tampa with an offer Nielsen for Matt Walker and a 4th, Walker has a 4 year contract? Lets counter Nielsen for the rights to David Liffiton and the 4th. They accepted.

our third pick at 36th overall, Jack Campbell G.

didn't make any offers in the third, drafted Victor Ohman in the third round (L)

4th round we have 3 picks, I drafted Alexie Radulov C, Jake Adam D, and Vince Neil RW.

Time to try and move DiPietro. Rick DiPietro Dustin Kohn and Bobby Hughes for Patrick Kane Brian Campbell and Dylan Oslen? they said we need to sweeten the deal...

Next Phone DiPietro Kohn Hughes for Kane Campbell and Adam Berti? They don't want to trade Kane. Well that sucks.

Two picks in the 5th

Ben Hoyle RW and Tiny Boyes G.

Well hopefully one of those 4th and 5th round picks turns out, that would really help.

Well I offered all of my prospects, expect for Alexie Radulov who was a 69 C with C potential, a spot first, they all accepted.

Well for some reason, half of my AHL guys to re-sign seemed to be gone. Oh well.

Now we have to decide who comes back.

Lets offer the following a spot

Wade Belak 79 RW 1M @ 3 years - Accepted
Willie Mitchell 83 D 3.5M @ 1 year - Accepted
Matt Moulson 82 LW 1.7M @ 1 year - Accepted
Dustin Kohn 77 D 1.050 M @ 2 years - Accepted

Sweet didn't think it would be that easy.

The way I see it now, this is next year's line up so far.

- John Tavares 84 - Kyle Okposo 83
Matt Moulson 82 - Josh Bailey 80 -
Jesse Joensuu 76- - Blake Comeau 79
- - Wade Belak 79

Willie Mitchell 83 - Mark Streit 84
-
Dmitry Kulikov 80 - Kevin Bieska 80

Rick DiPietro 85 ( I want to move this guy though)


The notable guys that I still have rights to are

Scottie Upshall 81 RW
Brendan Witt 79 D
Sean Bergenheim 79 LW
Aaron Ward 78 D
Richard Park 77 RW
Daniel Larsson 77 G

I decided to let all of them walk expect Bergenheim who I offered a 1 year 1M contract. I wasn't going to go any higher though.

He accepted so thats my spare player probably.

Free Agency day is here and wow is the goalie list huge.

I offered these contracts the first day

Evegni Nabokov 87 G 5.300 M @ 2years
Jonas Gustavsson 84 G 3.000 M @ 2 years
Wojtek Wolski 85 LW 3.800 M @ 3 years
Dan Hamhuis 82 D 2.225 M @ 1 year
Joe Corvo 81 D 1.950 M @ 2 years

Gustavsson signed with me first day which was great.
Hamhuis then rejected saying he wanted a longer contract and Corvo signed with me.
Nabakov then signed with me and then Wolski did. I had pretty much my whole lineup set up for next year.

Since DiPietro still had the most value on my team, I could get a pretty solid player I thought. I offered him Comeau and Nokelinen to San Jose who lost their goalie to me for Couture and Demers.

Well I just needed 1 more line and a minor league backup and I was set.

Since I still had a ton of money to spend and I didnt want my contracts to go up again, I offered this contracts

Fernando Pisani 80 RW 2.5M @ 1 year
Peter Muller 82 RW 3.9M @ 1 year
Roman Cervenka 82 C 2.975M @ 1 year

All three accepted, but my GM rep went down and I lost a phone. Great.

I needed a few more minor league fowards and a goalie so I just offered a bunch of randoms, they don't really matter anyways.

I got about 3 trade offers, none notable so I'm not even going to bother to post them.

So after all was said and done, these were the two lineups NHL and AHL. Joensuu had 10 games to prove to me that he can play like he did last year in the AHL.

Wolski 85 - Tavares 84 - Okposo 83
Moulson 82 - Cervenka 82 - Muller 82
Joensuu 76 - Bailey 80 - Pisani 80
Bergenheim 79 - Couture 78 - Belak 79

Mitchell 83 - Streit 84
Kulikov 80 - Corvo 80
Demers 78 - Bieksa 80

Nabakov 87
Gustavsson 84

AHL

Kabanov 75 - Sharp 76 - Dibenedetto 75
Ohman 71 - Wallin 76 - Neil 73
Pandolfo 77 - Smith 74 - Walker 75
Figren 71 - Rypien 75 - Hoyle 69

Fowler 77 - Hillen 78
Martinek 76 - Kohn 77
Nycholat 74 - Hnidy 75

Campbell 75
Munro 75

[New York Islanders GM]

So Boss wants 36 wins this season, Ill take anything to be honest, I don't know if we still need some rebuilding or just go for the playoffs.

Just so you guys know, I will be swtiching Gustavsson and Nabby each month until febuary.

LaBarbera on waivers right away, ill pass.

Boss told me the he doesn't care if I make the playoffs thing. Not Surprised.

Steve Sullivan on waivers and he only has a year left on his contract and we have 8M cap space? welcome. Sorry Joensuu 2 goals in 7 games just won't work here. you'll have some time in Bridgeport.

Scott Clemmensen on waivers, im surprised this guy is still had a NHL job. We'll pass.

Jay Mckee and Vaclav Prospal now on waivers, we really don't need a bad contract and we don't have a spot for Prospal. Sorry guys.

Now Montreal has an offer Josh Gorges for Jack Hillen. ill pass, I would waive Gorges since he doesnt have a spot here.

Now Brodie DuPont on waivers. No Rangers I don't want ur crap.

Well at the end of October, its just been more of the same we went 4-7-0 and are 14th in the East. Let's see how Gustavsson does.

Danny Richmond on waivers, ill take him, our minor league D are great now.

Laraque on waivers, nah.

Well Muller is now out until January with a broken rib. I called up Joensuu again, hopefully he can do something this time.

Well Gustavsson did a much better job. We're 13-10-1 and 10th in the east. Much better. Let's see if Nabby can respond.

Scout told me this draft will be a weaker one. Alright.

Trade offer from Vancouver, Aaron Rome for Jack Hillen. No thanks.

Alexander Salak is on waivers No thanks, I got my prospect goalie.

Alright now we have Muller back Jan 1st, we're 20-16-1 now and 8th in the East. Keep up the good work boys. Joensuu is back with Bridgeport now. He did much better though this time around.

Well that's weird 4 guys from 4 different teams on waivers today, Chad LaRose, Ryan Stone, Drew Bannister, and Sean Zimmerman.
Thanks for that prospect Nucks, welcome to the Island Sean. You'll start in Bridgeport.

Trade Offer from Colorado, Streit for Ruslan Salei and J.Mercier. After the quick laugh I moved on.

Aves waived Adam Foote and Francis Bouillon, i don't need either.

Streit is out unitl March, Fuck. All of our D have great potential but have 1way contracts... Wait we still have that Martinek guy right? There's a plug for a couple of months.

All star day is here, hopefully Streit wasn't supposed to represent. Corvo is there? what a joke. LMAO Kadri is there? the goalies are Dan Ellis and Dany Sabourin? good luck East. Well the East lost 8-4, shocker.

More to come later on.

[Hemskyfan - Former Carolina GM]

nice. you signed alot of guys in the offseason

[New York Islanders GM]

Alright its February 1st 2011, lets continue. We're currently 29-19-1 59PTS and were sitting 6th in the East.

Dubbie on waivers, since I'm not that old GM, I won't take him back.

Jesse Winchester now on waivers along with Peter Harrold. two AHLers for life, pass.

Marco Sturm on waivers? hmmm... since I have the cap space Ill take him, solid trade bait/injury guy to come in.

Streit is finally back, waived Martinek then... no claim.

Derek Joslin on waivers... welcome to Bridgeport, my newest prospect.

Logan Couture is now out... It pains me to call up Richard Wallin. Get better Couture (L)

Offer from Toronto now, Komisarek for Gustavsson... I like Komi but that contract just looks terrible and Gustavsson has the potential to be great.

End of February were 36-23-3 and sitting 5th in the East, time to make our playoff push.

Wonder if they are any free agents that can help? Ryan Kesler? Let's offer him a 2.575 M 1 year contract since that all the room we have now... He rejected not enough, gotta waive Bergenheim to get this guy I guess, or try to trade him for a pick.

No takers on Bergenheim after asking 15 teams... time to waive him...not claimed.. lucky.

Wow we can still only offer Kesler 2.575M, gotta clear room.
Offered Bieska to Tampa for Arian Aucoin, they accepted... hopefulyl this guy can still play...

New Offer for Kesler 3M 1 year. He better accept before the TD. Well he accepted but we have too many players... wonderful.

Time to move one of these spare minor league D for a 2nd. Well I moved Mark Katic for Vancouvers 3rd, good enough. Same offer for Kesler now.

Its TD day now, day before Sturm got hurt for the rest of the season... great. Now we now we need to bring in a winger, but keep in mind we can't take any extra players.

Well I went to Roster Moves and Kesler was in the minors.. good news. call him up.

First hour, trade offer Tampa Justin Dibenedetto LW for Scott Jackson D, don't need any more D, reject.

Second hour, trade offer Pittsburgh, Marco Sturm and Justin Dibenedetto for Brooks Orpik and Robert Bortuzzo (75 D with C potential) what Orpik's contract? 3.6M for the next 4 years? Ill counter those two for Dustin Jeffrey C and Francis Pare. They still accepted, got something for a hurt sturm, guess he'll help pitts in the playoffs.

Third hour, trade offer Florida, Streit for Hannan? fuck off. you just lost you're GM rep Randy Sexton or w.e ur name is.

BIG TRADE TO ANNOUNCE.

To New Jersey
Chara, Ryan White
To Mlt
Kovalchuk, zubrus.

Well done Gainey.

forth hour, trade offer Philly Streit and Bergenheim for Coburn and Mckee... as much as I like Coburn, I gotta accept, Coburn has a great contract and it's not like we're going to win the cup this year anyways.

Two big trades?

Pitts got Parise from minny for Orpik and Strait. Wow
Toronto got Jagr and a 4th from Dallas for Komi. nice burke.

Last hour, Jersey with an offer Dustin Kohn for andrew Greene, counter Kohn for Samsonov who is in the minors for them... they accept I replaced Sturm

Lineup going into the playoffs now is

Wolski 85 - Tavares 85 - Okposo 83
Moulson 82 - Cervenka 83 - Muller 82
Sullivan 82 - Kesler 84 - Samsonov 81
Pisani 80 - Bailey 80 - Belak 79

Corvo 82 - Coburn 85
Kulikov 80 - Mitchell 84
Aucoin 80 - Mckee 83

Nabby 87
the monster 84.

Alright lets go for our playoff push

Bridgeport player Cam Fowler out until April 6th with a broken foot? shitty.

Now Josh Bailey is out until April 23rd (my b-day ) with a MCL sprain, wtf stupid injury bug, wallin c'mon back up. Where's Couture at?

Couture is back at the end of March, still better then never, Wallin head back down. Kesler has been great so far GP 7 G 1 A 6 .

At the End of March were 42-31-3 87 PTS sitting 8th in the East but the 9th placed tampa only has 80 points, were fine, just try and get back to 6th boys.

Bailey is back, take a seat Couture. Let's re-start your minor league career, help bridgeport make the playoffs

Alright Season is done, we finished 46-32-4 96 PTS and back in 6th in the East.

Top Scorers

Goals - John Tavares 34, Matt Moulson 31, Roman Cervenka 29, Kyle Okposo 28, Wojtek Wolski 25
Assists - Wojtek Wolski 50, Kyle Okposo 45, John Tavares 45, Matt Moulson 44, Adrian Aucoin 44
Points - John Tavares 79, Matt Moulson 75, Wojtek Wolski 75, Kyle Okposo 73, Roman Cervenka 67
+/- - Adrian Aucoin 23, Peter Muller 23, Roman Cervenka 23, Matt Moulson 23, Wojtek Wolski 18

Looks like the Aucoin deal really worked out for me.

Best AHLer.

LW Kirill Kabanov (75) 80-32-40-72-+22

Bit of a problem though, what goalie does coach Gorden go with?

Here are the stats

Nabby GP 48 W 22 L 26 SV% 90.3 GAA 2.96 SO 2
The Monster GP 36 W 24 L 10 GAA 2.84 SV% 90.6 SO 2

also to keep in mind, last 6 games the monster went 4-0 and nabby went 0-2.

Tommorrow is the big decision.

[New York Islanders GM]

Well before the big game, I upgraded my scouting staff.

incase anyone was wondering my Roster Analysis Grades here they are

O B
D B-
G A-
T E

should get another Belak maybe?

Well coach Gorden decides to go with Nabby for the first two games on the road, since he has the experience and all, if he loses both The Monster is headed in.
