TML 2020 Draft edition

MAIN PREMISE : TML are set with Offence till 2023-2024 and with above roster same goes for Defence which actualy makes 1sts dispensable, 2022 Top Prospect as first one that will be needed

Trying to follow blueprint from TBL :

Tossed 2 x 1sts..................................check ( hasd to change things thanks to Niskanen )
Brought in 2 new RHDs....................check
Overhauled 3rd line wingers...........check
Signed Maroon..................................check ( guy is obviously to Stanley Cup what Hall is for Draft Lottery )

Selling low cause other GMs arent stupid and they know moving our Players is about Cap shed and clearing for D, so they are squeezing us

Buying high....well, you know, so homers from other Teams will keep the mouth shut and cause fck it, with the D built like that TML can afford to overpay

Pushing Barabanov and Mikheyev to get 15 more Points then they should cause leetching on Core 4 and being on the block for next Expansion Draft for Seattle together with Engvall.

Hate loosing Hyman, but hes in his last year and im shipping him out for the last 9 months, hes next 5 x 5M contract wont be doable

Letting Andersen walk after the Season cause Goalies are definitely more valuable to the current Team then they are in trade capital, so as appreciation for 5 years of suffering behind mediocre built D

Hunting Allen for 4 x 5M in next years FA

VGK TRADE
originaly I had Pesce ( 1st 2020 (PIT) 2nd 2020 (TOR) and 2nd 2020 (COL)) but avoiding another Band of jerks attack how thats not enough...so i went for VGK and "help" them to pursue Pietrangelo in FA

TBL TRADE
originaly i had Myers ( 1st 2021 (TOR) 2nd 2020 (NJD) and 2nd 2021 (TOR)) but Niskanen screwed me, so we are playing fair with TBL and no offer-sheets against them

SEA EXPANSION
Mikheyev being exposed

2021/2022
Janmark - Tavares - Marner
Nylander - Matthews - Fast
Hållander - C3 -Barabanov
Robertson - C4 - Korshkov

Rielly - Pesce
Muzzin - Myers
Sandin - Liljegren

Allen - Campbell

3,5M in the pot for C3 and C4

The sharks are not moving picks from this draft and we just got yet another left handed shot in Donato. I think Leafs fans can put the Johnsson trades to rest.

Like the defense but the offensive depth is horrible. That killed us this year.

I’ll wait and see what Hyman wants in his next contract. If it is indeed 5 x 5m a team at TDL will pay a mint for him. But at the same time so would the leafs.

Maroon should not be an nhler. I’m sorry I like the guy and all but no, I don’t want him on my team at that price.

Also you need to sign Mikheyev for 2 years if you want to expose him.

Set the simulation on Sep 25th......true, was focusing on D and didnt pay attention SJS acquired Donato.....

Depth : well, 10M 3rd Line didnt work out, so maybe this one could, especially if you take in account that this time D is properly set. Premium contracts for Matthews and Marner and Covid situation are preventing TML to have both and i think D is more important then depth, but you know that part of me already ( guessing you were commenting on 2020/2021 one )

Maroon : from one and only reason .....inked with STL, got the Cup, inked with TBL, got the cup, as i said seems like his mojo at the moment is the one Hall had for lottery draft. Agree completely he shouldnt be here, but......

Mikheyev : i thought hes RFA still after next season and that kind of players ( or their rights ) can be exposed also....well, my bad
