Initial Creation Date: Jan. 19, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I was told I had a number of players incorrectly valued in a previous 'shakeup' post, so I attempted to update it with their feedback in mind.

The current window is the McDavid-Draisaitl signed years, the next 4. Chychrun and Boyd are both looking pretty good on a not very good Arizona team, Nick Paul is a coach's dream, Driedger and Domi are risks, but it's high risk, high reward, and Dermott is a boring but safe choice that can reliably move a puck up the ice on the third pair. Varlamov looks like he's an expensive (but worth it) asset on a team that has two #1 goaltenders and the Islanders might want to use his value with a year and a half on his contract to upgrade on offense in the off-season.

Again, I'm not as familiar with players outside the Leafs, but I'm trying to branch out and learn more about the other teams in the league. Let me know if there's something I missed!

Paul - Boyd - Kassian would be a nightmare third line to play against. I think Domi shines when there's a spotlight on him - he was loving the attention when he played in Montreal. The short-term nature of most of these contracts also allows Edmonton to have more flexibility in the off-season when Nurse's extension kicks in.

Chychrun's value seems to vary quite a bit in ACGM's, so I went on the high side to be safe.
