Alright, so Ottawa sucks, they hire me, they promised they won't ever fire me (I turned it off so I wouldn't get fired 3 years into a rebuild).
Weeeeooooooo, let's begin.
Scouts want me to get the following guys;
C Charles Wells [Projected 4th Round]
G Derek Tendler (lol awfully close to Tender - like Goaltender) [Projected 1st/2nd Round]
C Taylor Carnevale [Projected 4th Round]
D Robert Mcewan [Projected 1st/2nd Round]*
LW Braedon Johnson [Projected 4th Round]**
Before the draft, I put Alfredsson, Gonchar and Phillips on the block.
Colorado offers me Matt Hunwick and Shawn Belle for Alfie - no.
Boston offers me Seidenberg and Boychuk - no.
We pick 16th and get Mcewan*.
St. Louis offers me Polak for Schira and a 7th - accepted.
San Jose offers Wallin and Murray for Alfie - no.
We have no 2nd round pick.
Detroit offers Holmstrom and Modano for Alfie - nah.
We draft LW Kevin King in the 3rd round.
Columbus offers crap for Anderson, I switch it to Leclaire and they say no - I don't blame them.
Boston offers Seidenberg, Boychuk, Hnidy and Mciver for Lee and Kuba - sure.
We get Johnson** in the 4th.
No 5th round pick, no trade offers.
We pick Dmitri Volchenkov in the 6th round. RW.
Calgary offers Sarich, Staios, Kostopolous and Pardy for Anderson, Leclaire and Benoit - Nope.
Columbus offers Boll and Clitsome for Anderson - I try adding in Leclaire and Mason - no deal.
No 7th round pick. Draft done.
-----------------------------------
The only player I need to re-sign is Winchester. So I do, and I sign Kevin King and David Rundbland.
I don't sign any FAs, I want to see what my team can do.

Our lineup is:
Michalek - Spezza - Alfredsson
Foligno - Regin - Neil
Shannon - Potulny - Svatos
Locke - Winchester - Smith
Bass
Phillips - Gonchar
Seidenberg - Karlsson
Hnidy - Carkner
Boychuk (Don't want to trade him, I'll move Karlsson up to the first pairing when Gonchar retires, then throw Boychuk in)
Anderson
Leclaire
0-2-2 pre-season, this could be ugly.
We head into December with a record of 10-10-5. I must say, I didn't even expect to be .500 at this point. Spezza leads the team with 11 goals, Alfie leads with 12 assists. Karlsson is a +9, Neil has 52 PIMs and 9 wins for Anderson.
Scout says the draft should be good. Cool.
We head into the All Star break with a record of 22-19-9. Alfredsson leads the team in goals and assists with 18 goals and 24 assists. Regin is +12, Neil has 101 PIMs and Anderson has 21 wins.
Alfredsson is our All Star, he registers 2 assists in a 5-3 East win.
Trade Deadline time YAYYYY. Maybe someone will take my old people now.
-Buffalo offers Cody McCormick for a 4th - no thanks.
-Buffalo offers Cody McCormick, Derek Joslin for Boychuk, 4th, 6th - deal, Joslin's got a bomb.
-Detroit offers Eaves and Abdelkader for Shannon, Locke, 5th - Welcome back Eaves, Abdelkader is the one we really wanted though.
-Boston offers Campbell and Recchi for Butler, Grrening, 7th - meh, no thanks.
And that wraps up the Trade Deadline.
We finish the year 38-33-11. Neither of Ottawa or Binghamton make the playoffs, it sucks to be any sort of Senator this year.
Team Leaders:
Spezza had 27 goals.
Gonchar had 42 assists.
Spezza had 65 points.
Carkner/Neil had 144 PIMs.
Spezza/Michalek were +20.
Svatos had 13 PPG.
Abdelkader had 3 SHG.
Neil/Foligno/Bass had 4 GWG

Notable retirees include:
Selanne, Koivu, Robidas, Modano, Lidstrom, Weight, Drury, O'Donnell, Timonen, Jovanovski, Aucoin, Kovalev, St. Louis, Foote, Salo, Knuble, Hedberg, Roloson.
Scouts tell me to look for:
LW Yannick Veilleux [Projected 3rd/4th Round]***
D Anton Zupancic [Projected Top 10]*
^^^Tempting - he's a Gen, had some nice tilly's last week irl
C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins [Projected 1st Round]**
LW Sean Couturier [Projected 1st Round]
RW Curtis Gabriel [Projected 7th Round]
No trade offers before the 1st round, we have 2 picks so we take Anton Zupancic* with the 9th overall pick, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins** with the 14th.
No trade offers before the 2nd round either...
Anyways we have 2 picks again, we take LW Lucas Lessio and G Brett Teskey.
Again no trade offers.
We take Yannick Veilleux***
Nothing happens before the 4th, no pick.
Same with the 5th.
Take D Jake Cardwell in the 6th.
Take C Boone Jenner and RW Nicklas Jensen in the 7th.
(4 Generals that draft [Zupancic, Lessio, Jenner, Jensen] just in case anyone was keeping track.

Season 2 starts, and we drop the home and season opener 8-3 to Atlanta. Ouch.
We go 4-4-6 in October, this wouldn't be bad if I hadn't just given up our 1st and 3rd round picks to get Dubinsky. I put Spezza, Gonchar and Alfredsson back on the block to maybe get some futures for them, I'll try to trade them at the deadline.
I trade Neil, McIver and a 6th to Dallas for Torrey Mitchell and Woywitka.
The Islanders offer me there 2012 and 2013 first round picks for Spezza and Zack Smith. Deal.
November is better, we go 8-7-0 bringing our record to 12-11-6.
We claim Devan Dubnyk off of waivers to back up Anderson, peace McElhinney.
December is shitty again, finish the year with a record of 16-17-8. REALLY regretting getting rid of my 1st now.
We head into the break with a 20-25-8 record. The Rangers are actually behing us so they have 2 top 10 picks right now. The Islanders however are only 1 point ahead of us, so we still have a top 10 pick also. (Rangers 8th, us 9th, Isles 10th).
Karlsson was our all Star, got 1 assist in a 5-3 West win.
We claim Schneider off of waivers also. A goaltending situation where you have too many good goalies is a good problem to have, right? Right now we've got Anderson starting in Ottawa, with Dubnyk backing him up, and Schneider starting in Binghamton with Lehner backing him up.
--------------------
Trade Deadline
Colorado offers Ryan Wilson, Mark Olver, and Christian Hanson for Eaves, Abdelk...get the fuck out of here Colorado.
Boston offers Mcquaid and a 2nd for Bass, a 6th, and a 7th. - No, but only because I'm set on D.
I offer Gonchar to Detroit for Tatar and a 4th - no deal.
I offer Alfredsson to Vancouver for a first - no deal.
Boston offers a 1st, Mcquaid for O'Brien, 4th, 5th - Deal.
Colorado offers Ryan Wilson and Mark Olver for Seidenberg, 2012 5th, 2012 7th - I counter for a 1st - they say no.
Colorado offers the same old pile of shit. - I say no.
Toronto offers a 3rd and McGrattan for Joslin - No.
I offer Gonchar to Anaheim for Scott Valentine - they accept.
Montreal offers Eller, Desharnais and Dumont for Phillips, Greening and a 6th - I accept.
Chicago offers Olimb and A.Johnson for a bunch of crap - I accept just for funsies.
I have one more chance to move Alfie - offer him to Washington for a first - nope.
--------------------
After a big trade deadline, our team now looks like this:
Parise - Dubinsky - Alfredsson
Michalek - Regin - Svatos
Foligno - Mitchell - Eaves
Abdelkader - Potulny - Olimb
Winchester
Carkner - Karlsson
Hale - Seidenberg
Polak - Woywitka
Anderson
Dubnyk
We actually don't finish too bad. 35-38-9.
Team Leaders:
Parise - 34 Goals
Karlsson - 52 Apples
Parise - 74 Points
Carkner - 169 PIMs
Parise/Alfredsson - +22
Parise - 11 PPG
Olimb - 4 SHG
Now the fun part. We ended up giving the Rangers the 7th overall pick. We have the Islanders, which is the 12th overall, and the Rangers ended up making the playoffs.
Stanley Cup - Pittsburgh
Presidents Trophy - LA
Clarence S. Campbell Bowl - Vancouver
Prince of Wales Trophy - Pittsburgh
Art Ross - Crosby
Hart - Price
Norries - Commodore..... :/
Lady Byng - Gaborik
Calder - Goalie Bob
Conn Smythe - Flower
Vezina - Price
Jennings - Flower
Masterton - Commodore
Selke - Huselius
Ted Linday - Crosby
Richard - Crosby

We don't sign any prospects this year, I'll wait until next off season to see if any are worth a contract.
We had into FA and offer Brad Boyes a 1 year contract, and he accepts.

You should have kept Dubnyk and traded him, he's got decent trade value. I picked up Del Zotto for Dubnyk and a 2nd at the first deadline in a GM Mode after claiming him, and then NY ended up waiving Dubnyk after the deadline, so I claimed him.

I've got Lehner in the minors who's I think a 79 now, so I'll probably put Anderson on the block and go with Schneider/Lehner.

C Mike Winther [Projected 3rd Round]

2nd Round:
Montreal offers Y.Weber for Joslin - we accept.
No picks.
3rd Round:

No Picks.
5th Round:
We draft Vladislav Namestnikov lol
We offer Schneider to Chicago for a first, they say no because they dont want to add to their offensive skill surplus......okay.....
Nothing else happens in the draft.
--------------------
-We let Winchester, Desharnais, Anderson, Mike Brodeur walk.

-RFA: We send Tavares a 4 year, 6.48 per year offer (1st, 2nd, 3rd) we also have NYI 1st so if we can pry JT away, they'll do worse, Tavares accepts the offer sheet but the Islanders match (fuckers). We then decide to try for John Carlson at 5.23 (1st and 3rd) he says no.
We go 1-2-1 in pre-season.
Our lineup is:
