Team Explanation
Let me start by saying, I know none of this is going to happen. Please suspend your disbelief and comment on the fairness of the trades. Who wins or loses each trade.

Botterill trades all of the losers off of this so called team before they can contaminate the young players.

First trade: is a bit of wishful thinking that SJS sign Kane.

Second trade: IMO ROR would return Milano, 1st nd 3rd, I am including Antipin to help close the deal and to move Anitipin for my future defense-men.

Third trade: IMO Risto > RNH. If you look at the stats Okposo (gms, goal, pts - 393, 101, 293) has very similar performance as RNH (391, 98, 256) over the last 5 years. Beaulieu is included to help EDM defense.

Fourth trad: NYI improve at GK, depth center and defense prospect.

Fifth trade: I am moving Eichel to make cap space for JT and help with the future of the team. I want to get rid of all losers on this team and he is the leader of the pack. All picks are top 10 protected.

Sixth trade: I sort of stole this one from Quake
Jason gets an offensive LD. I added Nelson and Girgensons to the trade, dropped a 3rd going to Calgary and McDonald coming to Buffalo

Final trade: a bit of wishful thinking again. It does not have to be MIN, just any team.

IMO the defense is improved the top six are improved and this team has a great future with 9 1st round picks over the next 3 years.

I think you've overvalued Jack Eichel. He's a 2C who has really disappointed since entering the league. The whole Dan Blysma thing has really soured me on him. Also I want no part of him at 10 million per. I think the most I would for give him is a 1st, a couple 2nds and maybe a 3rd. I'm sure most people will feel differently, but I just don't get it.

I'd be willing to add on for Sam Reinhart, or else Okposo. Those are the 2 guys I think CGY would be interested in from Buffalo

Thank you very much, I will make those changes in the next post. so 1st, 2- 2nds and a 3rd. TBH I think you are greatly undervaluing him but I will accept your opinion. Depending on the where the 2nds are they often add up to a mid 1st so I am only dropping a 1st for a 3rd. I could live with that.
