Thread: Team Slovakia
This team is unlikely to compete on 2022 Olympics if Slovakia qualifies.

Chara is too old and we even don't know if ends up his hockey career this summer or not. Sekera's body is quite ruined and there're better LD to choose from. Dano, Jurco, Panik are all former offensive talents who play either bottom six role or in the minors these days. Mesar & Cajkovic are not ready to play for men yet. Tomek is definitely not goalie # 2.

More realistic lineup - based on nomination from previous tournaments - is:

G:
Konrad, Branislav
Halak, Jaroslav

LD:
Gernat, Martin
Daloga, Marek
Fehervary, Martin
Knazko, Samuel

RD:
Cernak, Erik
Ceresnak, Peter
Nemec, Simon
Jaros, Christian

LW:
Cehlarik, Peter
Tatar, Tomas
Sukel, Matus
Kelemen, Milos

C:
Hrivik, Marek
Hudacek, Libor
Ruzicka, Adam
Griger, David

RW:
Studenic, Marian
Slafkovsky, Juraj
Lantosi, Robert
Skalicky, Pavol

Thread: Its very simple
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>That was to dump OEL’s contract.

Dvorak has trade value. They had to pay to get rid of OEL. They used Garland to do it and saved on payroll after this year significantly. It also pulled in the 1st after having to forfeit theirs and a 2nd next year. They have not given anyone away cheap, what they have done is stockpile draft picks to rebuild. Which is exactly what they want for Dvorak. They got a 1st and 2nd for Garland. They took 3 bad contracts that expire after this year to get rid of 6 years of OELs bad contract. If you call that cheap so be it, but nobody was paying to take OEL full 6 years at 8.25. They won that trade long term. It was addition by subtraction.</div></div>

Thanks for precise explanation, Gofnut999. It definitely makes sense although I disagree with it's evaluation. For me was Garland their no. 1 forward and his move absolutely unacceptable. Also OEL could stay and move to the 2nd pairing. So my personal opinion on the trade.
