Couple big things I guess in this one, Please let me know what you think of it:
The first thing was getting rid of some old ppl mainly
Burns has not looked as good as he did a season ago, and got worse in the playoffs, so I used him as trade leverage I guess to get a good young defenseman in Guhle. He seems like a hurricanes type player, and while I dont think that montreal will necessarily take burns, I think a three team trade could be likely, prob with a fringe playoff team if that makes sense. I just don't know how to do 3 team trades.
I know that the first rounder for him is optimistic, but the flyers have an two and felt as if after the Carter Hart incident they probably will need a goalie. Anderson, as much as he has done for the canes, needs to be dropped in favor of Kochetkov. He was the main goalie this year, and was better than serviceable. He is young too, which is a definite factor. Anderson and Burns were also a ton of cap space I needed for the second big part which was:
Resign as many ppl in the offensive top 6 as you can.
Guentzel, Necas, and Jarvis are all top priority signs for me, with necas being 3rd. I signed necas to a 1 year, because I was thinking that they could experiment with him as a center, which is the only real way I see him staying for more than a year or two.
Teuvo, Martinook, Pesce, and Skjei kind of had to go to make way for younger players, which I honestly had a lot of. I resigned DeAngelo to a 1 year as a bridge before the arrival of Nikishin. I don't thin many other teams will take a chance on him, and he seems to get a long here, and he is good at running the power play, which I think carolina needs.
Chatfield is a great defensive defender, and I feel as if he is a great partner with Orlov. The fourth line is fairly young ngl, but that what you have to do when there is a ton of resignings needed. I am optimistic about the third line though, I think it could be a really good grind line, and it is definetly a little old school, but I like it.
that's exactly why Guhle is young and good Burns is old
Yeah ik i am lowkey hoping for a 3 team trade and we probably throw in a first to Montreal, I just dont know how to do it on here. Maybe with a fringe playoff team that thinks burns is a missing piece or something. I am j trying to cope after the rangers series.
