Thread: The old socks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brolekb2b</b></div><div>Best move was probably resigning Stamkos. AAV is a bit steep for a 2 year. An additional year of term would have been nice on that, he'll probably want security when it comes time to negotiate.

Worst move? Oh boy. Seeing as this is 24-25, trading for Jan Rutta has to be up there with other things. If Rutta was in TB's plans he'd have already signed here instead. Lilleberg might need some more developing sure but he's transitioned pretty well to the NHL in his rookie year for us as a 3LD. There's no need to give up an asset for Rutta (and play him at his off-hand on LD) at that AAV when we're still missing a top six scoring help in this lineup, or could use an extra top four RD option instead. Rutta just eats up cap that could be used elsewhere. It's either this or bringing back Barre-Boulet to occupy a roster spot when he's done nothing but cardio for the last 2 months during his NHL stint.

Overall I'd say the team probably gets worse. Rutta is a missed chance to add to the forward core, Conor Sheary is not a legitimate top six option, and the Alex Barre-Boulet is an NHLer experiment has failed, it's time to let go. Also I'm not exactly sure what Girgensons contributes to the bottom six at that cap hit that a guy like Tyler Motte making close to league minimum or a player from Syracuse can't.</div></div>

Thanks for playing! I agree with everything you said!

Thread: Re-Evaluate The Evaluator
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>1. Best move: getting Marchenko to sign for less than $5M, I'm 100% expecting a 4x$5.5M or something like that.
2. Worst move: Bean for 4 years? He's a serviceable defenseman, but a bottom-pair LD isn't the guy you lock up like that.
3. Improve? Yes, adding a top veteran UFA goalie and top UFA center while keeping the majority of the current roster is going to improve the team nearly every time.

The tweaks I'd make: find a way to move Elvis, get Jiricek on the 1st or 2nd pair, and probably not sign Lindholm. I know he makes the team better now, but that'll be an albatross contract in 4ish years right when the rest of the team is ready to fully compete. If you really believe in Fantilli, signing him shouldn't be necessary.</div></div>

Thanks for playing! Yeah i totally agree with everything you said.

Thread: Buttercup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Ok i'll give it a try. I think Philly came out on top here. Holl may be bad but Belpedio is worse, he's an AHL player. That means Detroit's GM gave Philly a 2nd and a 3rd to move Holl. That's pretty bad roster management when Holl's buyout would be $1.13M or 4 seasons. Does this make Detroit worse? You really can't answer that with any accuracy without seeing Detroit's roster.
To answer the last question. Even though Detroit is down grading from Holl to Belpedio it doesn't make them worse right now since they won't need to play Belpedio very much. That still doesn't make giving up a 3rd and a 2nd to move Holl any better.</div></div>

Thanks for playing! My personal opinion, yeah I totally agree with you haha. Philly GM fleeced Detroit on this one.

Thread: Rolling in Dough
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AEcho</b></div><div>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</div></div>

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.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CertifiedAverage</b></div><div>So you are offering less for Texier than the compensation for an offer sheet is? Columbus would not do that trade.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Hawks don't make any of those 3 trades. They aren't trading a 2nd for a LD. Neither Texier or Jones really improve the forward group enough to give up any assets for. DeBrusk is ok but would rather see the Hawks target a 2C in free agency.</div></div>

Thanks for your comments, please read the description. These trades have already been completed by the GM's of our fun GHL GM League!
