If you ask me it seems like you just traded your core to other teams for each core members younger comparable player. Not sure why any team does this unless they expect their players to fall off a cliff.

Yeah idk either, I was just messing around

All good.

It does plenty it makes the team younger and extends the timeline for another cup run. Even if these trades are completely unrealistic. Why would Winnipeg trade 10+ years of a 40-50 goal scorer for 2-5 years of the same? The Backstrom trade would be a huge win for Edmonton, looking for a young playmaking center look at players like Barzal, or Marner.
