Thread: Trying something a little different in D and G
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>So correct me if I'm wrong, but Detroit's paying:
A 1st
A young middle-6 forward,
Two 3rds,
Two solid prospects
All for
A UFA in Sean Durzi
Notable defensive phenom Jacob Trouba (retained oh my god!),
Dumping a contract that is a 1M AAV buyout,
Dumping a contract that doesn't even affect the cap cause it's stuck on LTIR
Dumping a slightly overpaid .5 PPG player

Jeez! How difficult!

In less of an asshole response, the Reinhart signing would undoubtedly age terribly. He has the 2nd highest shooting percentage in the league (unsustainable).</div></div>

I think you spent more time organizing this than I spent doing the entire ACGM but I can paraphrase even more: the wings improve and get younger on D, improve their ability to score goals on F while promoting two youngsters, and improve significantly in goal. All the moves as a whole are to free up cap and roster spots to sign their RFAs, (and possibly overpay for Reinhart)

I'm sure you noticed, but all the secondary scoring dried up when Larkin got hurt, and their D isn't good enough to win 1-0 games so they really need more dynamic players (younger than Kane) and I'm hoping Reinhart provides this along w/ Raymond and Kasper as he develops. The cost of all of that are bits and pieces unlikely to help the team now, if ever. Durzi's an RFA btw.

Thread: Looking towards next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazorSeider53</b></div><div>I don't think you get anybody to bite on Holl. I think realistically both he and Petry are either gonna need to be bought out or buried.

Don't see the need to get rid of Maatta only to add Murphy, either. Just make your third pairing Maatta-Chiarot. Maatta has largely been fine as a third pairing D. Chiarot hasn't been terrible this year, but probably does fine with lighter assignments.

It's expensive for a third pairing, yeah. But it's mitigated with Edvinsson on an ELC and Walman at $3.4M.</div></div>

That's a good point w/ Maata, I guess I was looking at taking 2 years of Murphy in a position of need as the cost/benefit of getting rid of one year of Fabbri who is very replaceable. I just can't believe how bad Holl and Petry are every time I watch them, it's brutal.

Thread: Next year ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newman23</b></div><div>Both teams pass. Vegas doesnt have to do anything in the offseason, theyll just let marchy walk if he wont take a sweetheart deal, and with roys contract thats probably the last guy they move. Chicagos not paying for an oft injured forward when they can keep their pick and sign a FA in the offseason.</div></div>

Vegas has $75M tied up in 17 players as of now for next year, if I added right. (not counting Lehner) You have to assume they're going to want to try to re-sign Hanifan or March, right? Unless they're planning on promoting kids or signing vet min contracts, they'll need to move something to fill the roster. You're right about Roy being a good contract though, that's why I put that blurb about Karlsson at the top.

I disagree about Fabbri, he's a good depth scorer and if he is hurt, they lose a 4th or 5th, big deal.
