Description

This is a simulated result of what trades/signings were made in our GHL GM League for a simulated off-season.

GM's were tasked with the job of getting their team ready for the season. They had to stay within the salary cap restrictions and must have a maximum of 6 players on the Taxi Squad for injury relief purposes.

Your job is to comment and evaluate how the GM managed their team.

Questions to answer:
1. What was the best move made by the GM?
2. What was the worst move made by the GM?
3. Did the GM improve the team or make them worse?

Thank you for playing! Our GHL GM League is played for a couple of months then posted on CapFriendly for everyone to see the results made by the GM's!

All in all, not a bad job.

1. Best move made: Securing Carrier to that deal. Carrier has been a rockstar defensively for NSH and the deal and term are honestly great imo and it solidifies the right side so NSH can continue looking for a true 1st pair RD.

2. Worst move made: The Reilly Smith deal. This deal is honestly less than ideal. Nothing against Smith, but the issue is the contract. If NSH was to go out and get Teravainen, then I'd rather fill in that gap either with another free agency move or internally with someone like L'Heureux, who has had a monster 1st season in the AHL and could compete for significantly cheaper and not have to give up assets and that much cap space for someone who doesn't have a long term spot on the team.

Overall: the team is improved, but not really in a way that I think would be best for the team long-term

Thanks for the comments! Yeah my personal opinion is the signings done by the GM were good, but the trades were pretty bad in my opinion. Well not necessarily bad, just not ideal like you said for Nashville.

Whoever's running the CBJ in your game did not do a very good job with that deal. IRL Boqvist would cost more than that; he was actually doing pretty well alongside Werenski and on the power play before he got injured yet again. Should be "at least a 2nd, more if you want retention" or thereabouts.
