Thread: thats the way I Habs it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habitantlecolon</b></div><div>with Smith and Klefbom out they seem okay and they still can move Puljujarvi for a younger prospect !</div></div>
The point of moving Barrie or Puljujarvi is to only have to move one of them in order to address the cap issues. Both are solid, mid-roster NHL players that a team with aims to contend is better off keeping.

I've done a little AGM for oilers fan : https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3650198</div></div>
Except your GM mode involves downgrading quite significantly at multiple positions (Foegele &gt; Watson, Puljujarvi &gt; Hoffman, Donato is a fringe player, and Barrie &gt; Borgen) and making the forward group more one-dimensional. You also forgot to sign McLeod.

I counter your proposal with a far more useful one for EDM: Drouin (50% retained) for Barrie, Lavoie, and a 3rd. This is still not ideal but achieves a goal for EDM while still fitting their needs to some extent- assuming they can sign someone like Stralman afterwards.

Thread: Final steps coming up to the start of the season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakenTheCode</b></div><div>If Edmonton wants to get a Barrie-Soucy swap over the line a first is likely what it's going to take. Soucy isn't just a 3rd pairing guy, he can capably handle top four LD minutes. Plus, the Kraken are under zero pressure to move Soucy before the season, they can either extend him or wait and get a good return at the trade deadline. Edmonton meanwhile is under pressure to become cap compliant and re-sign McLeod, something they have to do before the season kicks off. That means Seattle is the one with the leverage. Even if it's not this move with the Kraken, Edmonton is the one under pressure to get something done soon.</div></div>
Soucy has never been more than a 3rd pairing defenseman and doesn't contribute much to either special team. Plus he's a lefty. There's no reason for Edmonton to go after him in the first place. :tearsofjoy
