Description
Just looking to move some of our softer "skill" players for players with grit that are hard on the for and backcheck. I think this team would be tough to play against most nights. And I know, I know, "you're giving Oloffson away for nothing, blah blah, blah..."

you arent just giving away Olofsson for nothing, Asplund, Johnson, Portillo. This is horrible asset management. Olofsson also has outscored Konecny the last 2 seasons and was on pace to outscore him 3 years ago. This makes 0 sense

You say "tough to play against" and then trade away a top defensive forward in asplund.

Asplund is one of the best defensive forwards in thr entire league.

Not saying the value is wrong, but it flies in the face of what you claim to want

I think you're right about Asplund. I would want that one back. Olofsson for Konecny seems fair. It's not just about goals. I like Konecny's jam...

Selling low on olofsson. I suppose you could make the case that ruotsalainen could leave to go back to Europe, in which case it's 2 seconds just for olofsson. Meh, I'm not there yet. I'd keep olofsson.

Not sure, but I would prefer VO at 4-4,5 AAV than Konecny at 5,5 AAV
