Description

Trades are not Realistic More kinda like Templates.

If Cozens isn't fitting on the 1st he can be switched out with any of the 3rd liners. I would like to try Tage or Cozens on the first. I like the chem showed between Kahun and Ollofson at the end of last year.
In an 82 game season Eichel and Hall should end with 100+ for Eichel easily and 80/90+ for Hall with 60 pts for their winger wether it's Tage or Cozens.
3rd line I could see a 40 goal season again for Skinner with 20 assists and the other 2 getting 70.
3rd line and 4th lines are mediocre, that third line has the potential to rip through teams other 3rd lines and Ollofson will end with goals and points from the PP.
Forth is just an energy line and an expensive one.

I love the idea of these top 2 pairings giving the young guys space and a chance to be creative and the other guys are great 2 way players.

Goalies are pretty good I think.

Tampa saves like 1 mill in that trade, theyll probably decline. McCabe doesnt need to be "traded anywhere"

Don't think that gets it done for Korpisalo; the difference in quality between him and Hutton is significantly greater than the value of the accompanying pieces you're sending.

Yea, obviously I want to keep McCabe but to do so I have to not sign Kahun.
