<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justinhollfan3</b></div><div>This is based on nothing and even if they decline marner for dobson the deal is going to start with either sorokin or barzal if not dobson so if you dont want to give up them youre not getting him for whatever the current package is.</div></div>

Of course it’s based off of nothing. I don’t know s***, it’s just a fun ACGM. Marner didn’t come close to living up to his contract this year playing on a stacked forward group. He’s also UFA, Barzal was better this year and he’s signed for 7 more years on a good contract. Sorokin had a bad season for his standard but is undoubtedly still one of the best goalies in the league, also signed. Dobson scored 70 points on a team that is seriously bad offensively, he’s young, RD, no way any team would trade that for an PPG winger att 11$M a year contract. I would trade Sorokin one for one though. I could also throw in the 1st instead of the 2nd, but then Toronto would need to give Isles something more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FoxYou727</b></div><div>Doubt we get a 2nd for rielly and cal combined
Bortuzzo only one 7th
Aho and Martin are fair value
Trading Nelson would be rough, but still I like the Avs trade (if we are trading Nelson I would do it this TDL and 50% retained maybe give a pick to another team to retain again him at 1.5 for 1½ years would net us sl much)
Lee we are going to have to pay to dump
That isn't even close for Buch at 50%
Sens fans on this site have shutdown any Pageau + 1st for Pinto type deal
Also Wally is definitely gone this TDL or in the offszn
And what are Forsling defensive stats like? Still I think that 7.5 could be spent elsewhere</div></div>

I agree with much of what you wrote, but let me tell you, Gustav Forsling is a top-5 defenseman in all categories.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeBone</b></div><div>As I get the sense you aimed to craft a roster and not just sort them by best-to-worst player at each position, I think there are a few changes I'd make.

1.) I think Rantanen with Hintz is a combination that'd I'd prefer to see. Each player brings a skillset more analogous to a common linemate of theirs (Rantanen has similarities to Robertson, Hintz to Mackinnon). For the 3rd member, I'd maintain that theme and put Lehkonen on that line.
2.) Aho is the picture of consistency and he &amp; Teuvo seem like a safe place for Laine to land. It's a line designed to both maximise Laine's strengths and mitigate the risk of his limitations.
3.) Obviously I don't mean to say Barkov is the 3C, but I see his skillset being best utilised in carrying a line with a couple of lesser-known names.
4.) To that note, I see no world in which Maccelli doesn't crack the active lineup based on current performances and a line with he &amp; Barkov could likely achieve a lot. I'd personally push for Tolvanen here for the fit (line needs a shooter &amp; some physicality), but a case could be made for a few different players.

That would leave Lundell &amp; Kotkaniemi anchoring a low-event shutdown line with another of the remaining players. Not sure I see any major issue with the D corps aside from wanting Joker a bit higher.</div></div>

Thank you for your insightful opinion. Are you from Finland? I'm so excited about the four-nations and the upcoming Olympics. I changed it slightly now.
