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!

Obviously the team is better, but there's no way the Blues go for that, which I suppose makes it the "best move". Not sure anything sticks out enough to be called worst.

Thanks for playing! Yeah I'd argue the Acciari move isn't great cap wise. So that would be worst in my opinion. I think the thinking from the Blues and Panthers GM was similar to the Guentzel deal. Obviously though this trade was made in off-season so that would change the value for sure compared to TDL.

Hmm. I think the Cookie move is great.

The Guentzel deal is irrelevant because Buch is not openly available, and if he was this summer a lot more than two teams would be in the chase. Besides, this package is nothing like the one Guentzel returned. He had a direct replacement coming back in Bunting, multiple prospects as good or better than Sourdif and PITT doesn't need to wait 2-3 years for picks. And none of that really matters anyway because the Blues have different needs than the Pens.
