Good ol "realistic" nine-players-for-7th-round-pick blockbuster

It’s representative of what I’m trying to accomplish…not a real trade. Did I really need to explain that to you???

Shouldn't have to - it's literally written out in the trade description, I don't think it could be more obvious what's being depicted here.

I'm with you though. This perpetual mushy middle is brutal.

No it's fine. People are just dumb somehow

Why would Kap stay long term after a couple of 1st round exits, then a couple of no Playoff years? He'll get a huge payday no matter where he signs. Kap has played on powerhouse teams and knows what it's like to be a winner. Trade him now if your plan is to tank for a couple of years.

Nah.

can a lateral swap between Fleury and Allen could be a possibility?

Unfortunately Fleury and Goligoski have full NMC's for some reason. I wouldn't actually mind keeping Fleury if they would deploy him properly. They keep thinking he's gonna find something he's never had before. But as a true backup he would be solid enough.

Hartman I would keep just because you're not going to find anything better at 1.7M, even if he has been a total bonehead lately.

The rest of them, would love to shop if I could.
