So the sharks are starting to circle! i'm 55 points out of first and my team is in my signature.
Other GM's are starting to make pitches for players on my team. They know I can't keep them all because most of them get increases in salaries next year and even though i'm not out of it I'm definitely not in it.

The biggest targets are Hall and Eberle.

Here are a couple of the better offers with next years salaries:
1) Skinner($5.725) and Matt Read (.9) for Hall ($6) and Eberle ($6)
2) James Neal ($5) and Pietrangelo (not signed) for Hall and Eberle

Should I explore any of these offers more or stay with Eberle and Hall?

First of all...how many are you able to keep? You definitely have the makings of a stellar team with Sid, Malkin and Lundqvist.....

The one GM just up'ed his offer to:
Skinner, Matt Read, 2nd round, 4th round pick for Hall and Eberle.

He's in 2nd place and trying to stay in the race but can't with the injuries to both skinner and Read. I'm out of the race and building for next year. Read's salary is appealing to me at only $900,000 for next year.

With both Ebs and Hall's salary going up to $6mill next year, I think its the right time to get assets back for them.


Thoughts?

I would want more. Concussions worry me when a player misses significant amounts of time. 2nd concussions worry me even more.

Hall is just scratching the surface of what he can do, and he will be able to justify that 6mil salary. Eberle probably showed his best last year, but there's no reason why he can't repeat again somewhere down the road.

I don't like it at all.
