Description

This is an extension to my post "Short-Term Center Solution", which you can look at here:

There is going to be another post going up at the same time as this which is an extension to "Trading for Nazem Kadri". Go and check that out if you're so inclined.

I simulated a season with David Krejci as our short term center piece while our prospects developed.

CBJ Regular Season Result:
45-32-5
Just about the same as the last two simulations (Danault and Kadri).

David Krejci
Full season played
77 points
+14 plus/minus
HE LED THE TEAM IN POINTS. We didn't score very much. I really expected Laine to lead the team in points. He did the last few times with about 90-ish points.

Emil Bemstrom
18 games played
A WHOPPING ONE POINT
-1 plus/minus
This was really suprising. I expected him to score more. The injury bug must have gotten him.

CBJ Playoff results:
Round 1 L
Pittsburgh Penguins 4 - 0 Columbus Blue Jackets
Swept. Whelp, time to retool.

Stanley Cup Champions: Colorado Avalanche

Here's what the offseason looked like.

Step 1: 2021 NHL Entry Draft
I made a mock draft in the Danault simulation, so i'll use that here.

Pick #28: Daniil Chayka, D

Round 3

Pick #70: Ryan Winterton, RW

Round 4

Step 2: Offseason Signings

Seth Jones: 6 years/8.5M per year
Elvis Merzlikins: 4 years/5M per year
Joonas Korpisalo: 4 years/4M per year
Max Domi: 3 years/5.5M per year

Feel free to dunk on me all you want on whether or not this is an overpay/underpay or not.

I needed a left winger on the cheap, so i brought in Ilya.
