Edmonton thanks you from the bottom of our hearts for taking Turris</div></div>

Yeah Lind would probably be my pick. Turris I mostly just got in hopes that a reduced role gets him to rejuvenate his career. Plus I can just pawn him off to help Tampa get under the cap

Thread: Kraken w trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joronto</b></div><div>This Lineup would have a big challenge down the middle.

Kerfoot, Wennberg, Rask and Gaudette were combined for a FO% under 45 last season. Joseph took only 2 Face-offs.

Also you missed two spots: one on PP 2, one on PK 2.

Kerfoot can kill penalties for your team - but with an average of 36 seconds TOI not the best option for PP1.</div></div>

Bean was supposed to be the dman there, he was there when I I posted it lol. Wennberg is PP2 center. As for faceoffs, it is a concern. I'm hoping that can be worked on though with youth mostly on our side and some good coaching to at least get closer to 50.

Thread: Letang if no Petro

I don't see Pittsburgh taking that trade. The value is fine, but they'd then have to find a way to replace their top dman with maybe 3-4 mil in cap space. It'd be asking an awful lot from Marino to be able to fill in that void in just his second season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Philly79</b></div><div>I dont understand why CBJ fans always think that those teams are going to accept those big contracts who are worthless</div></div>

I'm not a CBJ fan, but Nyquist is a solid top 6 player. Nutivaara is a solid dman. They only real bad contract I dumped was Wennberg, which is pretty much irrelevant now with his buyout.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I think that you wildly overestimate the value of Nyquist and Wennberg to a team intent on cutting payroll and cap.</div></div>

That's fair I guess, but they really lack forward depth and their trade for Hornqvist suggests a willingness to take some veterans and a change of scenery could do wonders for Wennberg. I could defintely see a lesser return though.

Edmundson is more suited as a third pair guy with PK time imho. Mete can play both sides and Weber/Petry are aging. In the short term, sure, it might not make a ton of sense, but realistically, the Habs are not gonna be a contender for a few years anyway.

Thread: TDL moves to prepare for next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>Fair. But it’s a log jam on defense and when z goes down it’s Nuti that logs top mins with Jones and can play both sides very useful player. And would have had more playoff experience last year if kuch would have kept his cool but so be it.</div></div>

I should clarify that I quite like Nuti as a player. I just know how important it is to have someone who has won ion the Finals before to show everyone what it takes. If you look at recent years, nearly every Cup winning team has had at least one player who had won previously. CBJ lack that currently, so I brought in Sundqvist.

That was part of the reason I held onto Anderson, I know the brass like him.

Thread: TDL moves to prepare for next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>That's the point. With the emergence of a few players, I think they should trade him to get him a fresh start. To Toronto with Nutivaara for Ceci, Bracco, a 2022 2nd and a 2020 4th would be great IMO</div></div>

I'd avoid Ceci like the plague but I see what you mean. I don't know CBJ's prospects particularly well so I don't know what to expect from them in the future.

Thread: TDL moves to prepare for next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>With his current play no. But he was out I think 25+ games this season and looked iffy in the first few games he was in. Just recently has started to look like his old self and if he can return to his old form. I think he could fetch a top 6 forward.</div></div>

I know Nuti has been decent, I just personally value top 6 forwards more than a middle-bottom pair dman. He's not in the top 4 right now and hasn't done anything spectacular, so I felt that Sundqvist is a fair return given his vast playoff experience.

Thread: TDL moves to prepare for next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>Plus don't forget that Columbus doesn't have a ton of picks, so it would be wise not to trade a first rounder, even if it's a late pick. And with the way Stenlund and a few other guys have benn playing, Anderson could be on his way out. He'd definitely be on the block if I were Kekelainen and I think Columbus can get a 2020 3rd ans a 2021 4th for him. Maybe even slightly more, who know...</div></div>

I highly considered moving on from Anderson and probably would, but given his poor season, it may be more beneficial to hold onto him to see if he bounces back.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>IMO No need for d depth. We got more than enough defense. If we’re moving Nuti it’s for a top 6 forward.
Torts has started to come around on sonny and has defended him in the media.</div></div>

I hadn't heard of Torts coming around so that's good to know and if true, changes things. I don't think Nutivaara gets a top 6 forward in return on his own.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>That Risto trade is BAD

you already have Jones and Weresnki on the PP and they are much better tan Risto at defense, so hard pass from Columbus</div></div>

That's fair, I just think he could perform better if he wasn't matched against the opposition's top forwards all the time. I also brought him in since he has term, so I could flip him if needed. He would also provide injury insurance should something happen to Jones

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>Not sure who the Columbus GM is but they need to be fired...</div></div>

It's a kid. Couldn't decide if he wanted to tank or contend right away, so he ended up with this bad combination of the two that I happily exploited. The Goose trade was a bit understandable since Bjugstad is younger, and Petterson does have the potential to be a top 4 dman plus the other prospects, but man, other than that, there's not a whole lot. He's made some other head scratching moves to other teams too. It's only a matter of time before the Western Conference realizes he's basically handing out freebies, the East has already noticed.

We have one guy running it in season mode while controlling all the teams. The rest of us are acting as the GMs for those teams. When we make a trade or sign someone, the guy running it (commissioner), makes the trade in season mode. Since he technically controls each team, every trade goes through. For the draft, the commissioner will send us the prospects list, and we'll basically manually add them to the teams who pick them and then start another file in season mode with the updated rosters and ratings.
