<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeBone</b></div><div>Overall a solid AGM! I'm particularly keen on your choice of Carrier, your line combos, and your overall goal of getting younger. That being said, there are a few things I'd change:

1.) I'd say you're overpaying Debrusk (~400k), Pickard (~600k), Holloway (~600k), Desharnais (~500k), &amp; Lavoie (~200k) given the context of the term you've offered each of them
2.) I'd say you're underpaying Durzi by around 1mil and don't think SLC will make him available, at least not for that. I'd also rather use that money to target A. Carrier in UFA
3.) I don't imagine Broberg agrees to a 3-year deal and as such would likely end up on a similar deal to the one I proposed Holloway gets (900k * 2yrs). Saves another 400k
4.) That factors out to ~2.7mil in what I'd deem overpayments. For the sake of argument, I'll grant you either the Durzi acq. as listed or that Carrier (or similar) would cost ~4.25mil

Using those savings, I'd prioritise dressing at least a 22-man roster by adding 2 FAs (ideally below age 30), swapping Carrick out for Laczynski, and maybe finding an upgrade on Fischer. I wouldn't be surprised if Hamblin ended up back in EDM next year, either.</div></div>

Thanks for the feedback - I modified a few of the contracts downwards and re-signed Warren Foegelle. I’m happy with the team, although I’m concerned that so few of the players shoot right. Also, I’m right at the cap with 20 players.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Edmonton doesn't have to move Ceci though, he's an effective top-4 defender. With RHD being currency in this league, I would think a top-4 RHD with 1 year left could get reasonable value from one of the many teams that require a top-4 RHD. Any GM accepting a 5th for Ceci simply isn't very good at their job. Kulak (a lefty) went for a 2nd, he's not as valuable as Ceci and plays a thoroughly diluted position.

Ristolainen got a 1st + 2nd + Hagg with 1 year left at $5.4M. Sure it was an overpay, but that's top-4 RHD for you. Accepting a 5th for Ceci is just stupid asset management.</div></div>

I couldn’t find a way to keep Ceci and stay under the cap. I’d rather Ceci than VD, but the numbers didnt work.
