Only a few moves needed to finish the roster. The moves made seem reasonable based on rumors and not over valuing players.

The line-up from my point of view is where you get the most out of it while not stunting the growth of young players on lower lines and getting experience playing alongside older, more mature players.
Forwards have 3 scoring lines and 1 defensive line.
Defensive is much improved by getting rid of negative impact players and replacing them with at least neutral to positive impacts.
Goalie is much the same with the defense. Getting rid of a bad goalie and replacing with a solid starting goalie. Gives you two starting goalies to ride through season.
Powerplay 1 can be a top 5 unit. Pretty straight forward.
Powerplay 2 could also be top 10 second power play unit realistically.
PK should be improved with help in goal and getting rid of bad players.

What do you guys think?

I really like that Columbus trade for both sides, and I'm a huge supporter of Mittelstadt. I think Philly would be adding to get Risto. Risto is much more consistent than Ghost in production. I'd be asking for NAK coming back in that trade. I think you address our weaknesses well though, that would be goalie and LHD primarily

I’m not doing that as the cbj. We’re giving up the second for an unproven center prospect who has struggled to make the leap to the nhl and a swap of defenseman. I’m good keeping our assets.

Cannon- Id do it without the second if that makes a big enough difference for you. Still think its a fair deal that helps both sides
