God is that awful....Let's begin, shall we

SIGNINGS

Michael-Liles is not a top 4 defenseman on a good team. He's a decent 5/6 but needs the right partner, and Colin Miller (who i like) is not it.
Okposo is good and one I want, but he's going to cost a lot more than that. 6+ if you want him.
Vesey signing was fine and realistic.

TRADES This is where everything goes to the shitter.......

Nashville Trade = F+ ---- Why would Nashville give up big assets for that pile of dong? Did Sweeney promise Poile something down the road? That is the biggest under-the-table handjob I've ever seen. Here, take my overpaid, worthless pile of crap for 2 high round picks. I won't even talk about Vesey b/c his rights don't mean much at this point.

Winnipeg Trade = F+ ----- Jacob Trouba is a legit young top 4 defenseman. Why would they give him up for essentially a 1st round pick? Koko is bolting back to the KHL and Casto is probably nothing more than an AHL lifer (maybe he peaks as a #7). Didn't do much research on this trade. Chris Casto, LOLOLOLOL!!

St. Louis Trade = F+ ------- Once again, not much research done on this one (shocker.....) Parayko is a young, big top 4 defenseman who came out of nowhere. He's the guy that has basically made Shattenkirk expendable. So why are they going to trade him along with a good young (cheap) goalie with upside AND a 1st round pick, for Tuukka Rask (7 million) and Adam McQuaid (an overpriced #5/6). Sure you're offering Krug as well, but that doesn't help them when they're losing Parayko. The 3rd is a throw-in, doesn't mean much.


LINEUP

Isn't all that great. Sure the defense is younger and the top 4 is (a little) better (When you have JML in there it's not that much) but that bottom pair will get eaten alive. I hate that 4th line. Two players not ready and in roles they aren't made for. Actually Heinen isn't a 4th line style either. The Bottom 6, as a whole, has potential, but could (and most likely will) be a complete trainwreck.

20 million in cap space though, do they even meet the minimum? This whole mock is brutal top to bottom.

Kally, I wish you wouldn't hold back how are you really feeling? The trades aren't good but hardly the worst. Although the trading of players, talent wise and need wise is somewhat subjective, many Armchair GMs don't consider the "other" teams cap.
How many trades do we suffer through that shows Nash for Ritchie, Staal for Draistl, Glass to Arizona, Howard to Calgary.

I'm feeling great, a little tired, but great nonetheless. Just had a great lunch at work, now i'm kicking my feet back watching a little TV!

Anyway...These trades are terrible, and that's putting it lightly. I get not taking into the other teams "cap" (and "needs" makes more sense there) but come on.

Bruins: Trouba, Vesey, Parayko, Allen, 2017 1st, 2017 2nd, 2016 3rd, 2017 3rd *oh but he flipped it!* = 20 million cap space left over
Everyone else: Rask, McQuaid, Hayes, Seidenberg,2016 1st (anywhere from 18-27...We'll find out once SJS series is over)

So out of all that, the Bruins make out like Bandits, and the best player leaving the Bruins is Rask (who carries a high cap hit).. I never said these are the worst trades, but this mock is bad and flat out unrealistic.
