Thread: Changes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Islesforthecup</b></div><div>That’s what they said about CAR trading for Burns, how’d that work out? The good thing about the stroke though is even though he’s 36 his body didn’t break down, I would’ve been much more concerned if it was a soft tissue injury or something like that.
Anyway I’m working on another acgm that doesn’t really try to upgrade the defense (even though we do need one)</div></div>

Honestly, I think other than dumping Bailey and maybe re-signing Engvall and/or another minor acquisition (something like your Gurianov signing), I don't think we see any major changes at forward. My guess is it's more likely that they look internally for upgrades (healthy Wally, growth from Holmstrom, Dufour, Iskhakov, etc.) than go out and make a big trade for a forward or a big UFA signing (not that there are that many good UFAs available anyway). Finding a powerplay QB/defenseman that can skate the puck through the neutral zone probably gets prioritized.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Welcome to CapFriendly. Sometimes, it's not too friendly.

Many, many things wrong with this initial effort, so I'll just start with some obvious ones:

Toronto wouldn't trade now for Durzi or Korpisalo because the Maple Leafs couldn't use them in the playoffs. (The same goes for every other player the Maple Leafs are getting in these trades.)

You've undervalued Glass, Wahlstrom (who gets a first), Tippett (who gets a first), Quinn (who gets more than a first), Beck (who would get more than a second and wouldn't have a third attached to him), and Dobson (who would get A LOT more than a first plus).

Kerfoot is useless to the Islanders for the same reason Korpisalo is useless to the Maple Leafs.

The Blues aren't trading Thomas or Neighbours.</div></div>

Heh. He started with undervaluing Wahlstrom and Tippett, and then went straight to massively overvaluing them once they were Leafs. Classic.
