Initial Creation Date: Jun. 15, 2018
Published: Jun. 15, 2018
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Bozak is a solid 2C until Mittelstadt is ready to take over that spot. Plus his contract will be up when Casey and Dahlin need to sign extensions.

Faulk over Hanifin just due to the fact we have NO right shot Dmen beside Bogo.

Nylander needs to see some time in NHL. Gets 20 games no matter what.

Still have some flexibility with cap space moving into next year with some more expiring contracts.

A rather strange line in this case. Maybe:
Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart
Hagelin - Bozak - Okposo
Nylander - Mittelstadt - Puljujarvi
Girgensons - Rodrigues - Pominville

Lines change all the time with this team so it really doesn't matter. I was thinking that we need a vet on all the lines, someone who can help out defensively. Three youngsters on one line looks like a lot of goals against.

On the contrary, I like the youth line, the guys will be on the same wave, Pominville will just slow them down, and not always get into the pace with them.

Skinner has a NMC, do you think he waives it to go to the Sabres?

Five stars my friend, a very nice job.

This is all constructive comments.
We in Buffalo (including me until I compared the two more closely) think Ristolainen is far better than Klefbom, he is about the same. Ristolainen will give more offense, but he is a defensive liability. I think Buffalo would need to add to make that trade.
I really like the Carolina trade. Now on this one maybe too much. I think Waddell will think of Darling as a neutral and will be happy to get him off of the books. So this is how I break down that trade
O'Reilly >= Skinner because O'Reilly is a center he gets the nod, Skinner is an elite LW he has 89 goals over the last 3 seasons.
McCabe + Lehner =< Faulk - Darling
Bailey + 2nd >>>> nothing
Finally, Bailey actually had more pts/min than Pominville. I think I would keep him on RW, move Girgensons to LW and send Nylander to the minors, he needs more training.
I think Pittsburgh would love that trade, maybe a bit too much.
I like your free agents, I like you line up, good job

Thank you, I think with the Carolina trade I think you might have to overpay a little to get Faulk. Puljujarvi is the big ticket item for me in the EDM trade. I really like his future and losing a little on D is worth it for him. I agree with Nyander as well. He needs work but I think we need to see what we have in him, I dont think we are going to be that good next year anyways so lets see what we have in him.
