Thanks to everyone whose so far posted their teams, I like the direction CA is taking it with the depth. While it doesn't have to be too deep with press conferences and what not, I expect a few changes and signings to make things interesting. Keep up the good work guys and pass the word along. I will be posting the same Be A GM Post over again for anyone whose missed once the post disapears off the main page so anyone participating already can ignore it.
I also added a poll on the sidebar so feel free to participate as well.
*-> Teemu Selanne will return for yet another season with the Anaheim Ducks. The Finnish Flash is set to sign a 1 year deal in the near future with the Ducks. The Finn also told the media that he had been pushing hard for a reunion with Paul Kariya as previously mentioned on Ice Scoopz. Paul Kariya had been waiting for a Selanne decesion and now it appears he'll be turning down offers from Pittsburgh and New York to head to California.
*-> A rumor surfaced this morning that Maxim Afinoganov will be signing a 5 year deal with SKA St. Petersburg. The rumor isn't quite true but has some real elements to it. Maxim does have a deal on the table for St. Petersburg, he still has hopes for the NHL. He did the exact same thing last season as he signed in Russia then left once the Thrashers came to him with an offer far less of his Russian wage. Afinoganov will most likely have an NHL release clause if he does sign that deal as TSN and other sources are predicting.
*-> John Madden has signed a 1 year deal worth 1 million dollars to join the minnesota Wild next season. Good pick up by the Wild as he fits the team mold to a t and will be able to provide that leadership that was lost with Owen Nolan.
*-> The Tampa Bay Lightning are speaking to Kirk Maltby about a 1 year deal. The Lightning want to add depth for the second half it's rumored although they may run into a log jam of forwards next season.
*-> The Ottawa Senators have signed AHL defenseman and former Canadian Andre Benoit to a 1 year deal on a 2 way contract.
*-> Andrei Zubarov of HK Atlant is rumored to be close to a deal with the Atlanta Thrashers.
