Description

This is a simulated result of what trades/signings were made in our GHL GM League for a simulated off-season.

GM's were tasked with the job of getting their team ready for the season. They had to stay within the salary cap restrictions and must have a maximum of 6 players on the Taxi Squad for injury relief purposes.

Your job is to comment and evaluate how the GM managed their team.

Questions to answer:
1. What was the best move made by the GM?
2. What was the worst move made by the GM?
3. Did the GM improve the team or make them worse?

Thank you for playing! Our GHL GM League is played for a couple of months then posted on CapFriendly for everyone to see the results made by the GM's!

Cabot on the right has proven not to be very effective. Moving Chychrun out for a RD and picks could make sense if the goal is balance on D but the Ferraro move would then be redundant.

The Col and Sj trades essentially equate to Chychrun for Manson and Ferraro along with pick swaps for Col. I’m not convinced this makes the team better.

In real life I would not trade Manson for chychrum straight up. I have no idea how you came up with that value.
Seems like the sens over paid for him from az and he hasn’t done much for them since. Where as Manson performs a very specific role for the Avs that helped them win a Stanley cup.

Thanks for the comments, remember I'm just the one posting the threads, I never made any of the trades.. These trades have all been made by GM's in our fun GHL GM League.

No problem there just needed to point out the insanity of “the worst move made by the (Avs) GM”. Also Canadian /east coast bias perhaps?
