Last Week in “You’re the GM” we listened to some interesting offers for Nazem Kadri from the HockeyBuzzards out there. Some in the comments, some via Twitter, some via email sent to “Eklund at Hockeybuzz.com.” After consideration, as the fictitious agent of Kadri, I can no reveal to me who will be welcoming Kadri for the 2022-23 Season…

THE CALGARY FLAMES.

The winning proposal came from reader “M*A*S*H”. Here is the winning proposal…

“As you are aware, Monahan will not be returning. Backlund has moved on. We have needs at C. As effective as Monny was for us, we are in need of grit, scoring and swagger. We, in Calgary, feel you are an ideal fit. We would slot you in at 2C. Roving our top 2 lines in and out for 1PP unit, you will definitely get you look at PP time. I am confident you will see your fair share of 1st line minutes too. We have moved money around effectively where we can sign Tkachuk, Gaudreau and you. As you can see and have experienced first hand, we have a great core. A mix of up and coming youth and veterans. Our city is passionate. Our team is competitve and setup to go deep in the playoffs. We feel we have the peices to compliment your incredible skillset.

We are prepared to offer you $7.25 x4

NEXT UP….

So since the rumor fun never ends, I am going to take the next 9 Fridays and give you all, the GMs and Hockey Buzzards, the opportunity to pitch YOUR team to the the top ten Unrestricted Free Agents To Be…AKA: UFA2B

I will pick the best pitch, post it, and then announce who gets him! The pitch has to be reasonable of course, and if you don’t have the cap space, it would help to explain your idea on how you will get that cap space..

We are read by many people out there, and many players, so bring on the pitches!

Available: Evgeni Malkin.

He has stated he loves Pittsburgh, and would likely take a hometown discount, so today’s pitches will have to sell Malkin on the team he is going to and what role he would play on that team as much as anything…Malkin, like many Russian centers, do like being constidered the #1 Center on the team…something he has never been able top say while playing with Sid..


Good luck landing Geno!
