My biggest problem with this isn’t even the trades, it’s your understanding of evaluations of players 1, no one is taking Okposos contract. 2. Trouba says he won’t sign anywhere for under 7, and since we had to over pay for Skinner we will need to overpay for Trouba as well. Honestly, Troubas good but not 7 mil good. Rather have Risto
1. so Trouba won't sign for less than 7 million but you say he's not worth 7 million and i had him at 6.5million???? how am i not evaluating Trouba correctly? sounds like i evaluated him about the same as you.
2. I'm very optimistic that there is a team out there that will take a 3rd line winger AND A 1ST ROUND PICK for minimal return even if he cost $6 million a year.
3. back to Trouba.. because we "overpaid" Skinner (that's very debatable) we would have to overpay Trouba?? but you just said you wouldn't pay him 7... and i didn't even have him at 7...
4. I would probably have Risto too but that's not the trade.. i would rather have Trouba AND Ehlers than Risto, Thompson, Nelson and two 2nd rounders..
we can debate the $$$ which is fine but telling me i can't evaluate a player because you think that 6.5 is too low, that the player wouldn't sign for less than 7, but you wouldn't pay him 7, but think that we would have to overpay him.... your argument (which you are inclined to have) doesn't make any sense. Seeing as how you just joined the site, just remember none of use are real NHLGMs.. we are here to have fun and speculate. (except for GMTD I'm convinced he's Jason Botterill LMAO)
