I also considered KoekKoek and Hutton, however, I wouldn't have chosen both of them. I came to the conclusion that koekkoek wasn't really a better option than poolman, tbh.

I can see why you chose Hutton though. I am not as familiar with Forbort to say whether or not one is better than the other.

The one criticism I have is that Ehlers isn't first line capable. Blasphemes, I know. The reality is Wheeler, Connor, and Laine (in that order) are in the top 10 best wingers in the NHL. That reason alone I say Ehlers won't play on the first line but I can see why you chose to keep him with Laine.

I thought Laine playing with Connor was a good idea on Scheif's line with Wheels playing with Ehlers and Staz.

Also, Toninato isn't going to make the team out of camp. If it comes down to him I guarantee Vesalainen plays instead of him. He took a major step this year and I see him on the 4th line and PP.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensibleguy</b></div><div>"Traded Lowry and Perrault for picks to a low ceiling team to get them to the floor. I picked the Sens because they are low on forwards but the team they go to doesn't matter."

Ottawa is low on forwards because they have six RFA forwards. All six of them will be signed, at some point. Add those to the seven signed, and the Sens are suddenly at 13. Add in recent #3 pick Tim Stutzle who should stick with the club, and the Sens are at 14. There are also the three overagers (age 20) wingers the team drafted in this recent draft that all need contracts and have to play in the AHL/NHL, and the eight AHL guys currently signed, and we're at 25. That's enough for both the NHL &amp; AHL teams, with room for 3 more practice squad forwards. Ottawa is still negotiating with Duclair to return. Ottawa rarely has 14 forwards, so 26 (13 NHL &amp; 13 AHL) is the magic number.

As for the cap floor, with the Matt Murray contract, as well as the Connor Brown and Chris Tierney contracts, adding all the other RFA's above league minimum, and Tim Stutzle at $925K, the team reaches the floor. Duclair would just be more cap on top. The team has $9,812,500 of cap with Gaborik, Ryan, &amp; Phaneuf.

Okay, so that's why Ottawa doesn't need your players, now for why all the other teams don't need your players. They are paid too much, for too little production. In layman's terms, they suck. All the teams are going to reach the cap floor, all the teams have their own depth (players that suck). Teams aren't going to pay your team for taking your bad contracts, that's not how it works.

Before creating a trade, do this, ask yourself, would you trade for the player you're offering? If your team suddenly had several injuries, could your team manage with AHL players, or would you trade for the players you're offering, with their cap hit. If you are making out a lineup, and you have a player that doesn't fit, chances are other teams aren't giving assets to take him for you. They don't fit there either.

The biggest fallacy among wannabe GM's is, 'I'll just trade him".</div></div>

I didn't realize there are rules to being a hockey fan, playing around with the roster of your team, and having fun. To me it sounds like you are the wannabe GM and someone looking for a fight. I won't be the guy you are looking for. Hockey is a community and one you clearly have never been a part of.
