Thread: Cap Relief Champs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabertooth</b></div><div>I assume cap will go up 1-2M next season. And unless Glass breaks out his deal won’t be a lot. You would also hope that Fabbro getting easier assignments can boost him enough to trade him away and get a prospect back. Then it’s say 8.5 to give to carrier and Jeannot.
Giving johansen great line mates could also hopefully make him attractive to other teams. Even if you retained $2M on him, it opens up $6M</div></div>

I think the agreement is the cap goes up $1M the next two years, at least that's how it looks on the long-term outlook tab. I see what you're saying, but hearing what Poile said today about any additions to the roster likely not being on long term contracts, I don't think Garland is the piece the Preds add. It's definitely an interesting trade idea, but it sounds like Poile is looking for someone who can play top 6 on a 1 or 2 year deal to save cap space for this group to resign next year.

Thread: Ricochetii Challenge
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>I figured people would go for MacKinnon, probably one of the best values in the league right now.
Chychrun should be another popular choice. Even if he's on the 2nd pairing, the dollar value is good.
Bonino is probably an underrated choice. Would have been my preferred 3C if I didn't go with Hertl.

It's interesting to see what people can come up with when options are more limited. This challenge probably isn't restrictive enough, but too many limitations and all the teams look sameish.

Did you find the final cuts difficult after seeing who you were left with? (I picked too many RD so it was a tough call for the final spots.)

Another aspect is where people choose to make budget cuts. You elected not to pick up any "high priced" skaters and probably made your D a little deeper with cheaper options in goal. Risky, but part of the fun.

Nice job overall!</div></div>

Yeah, I had some of the same problems when I got to the end. I wanted to build a mostly two-way top 9 and strong defense. Goalies may be young/unproven, but that group in front should help out. Hardest part at the end was making Pulock work. I originally had Hakanpaa, but that seemed silly, so I moved stuff around.
