Zach6668 513 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Man... going through these old trades. Cash was basically worthless. I got $2 for COLIN GREENING. And I was throwing around $7 here, $7 there, in like every trade. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Shortstackers Receive: Ryan Sproul - D - DET (farm) Dan Carcillo - F - CHI (reserve) Joey Crabb - F - WSH $0.75 in 14/15 $0.75 in 15/16 Big M's Receive: Fedor Tyutin - D - CLB Paul Martin - D - PIT Here's the one where Bob gave me the choice of Sproul or Krug. Sproul ended up winning like WHL D-man of the year or something, got in an NHL game a couple years ago, but has been a complete waste since. I still have some hope, but I don't think he'll ever do much. Obviously we all know what Krug did. I feel like he came completely out of nowhere, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right spots.

Zach6668 513 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I ended up packaging Whitney off for basically a 2nd rounder. I had OTT goalies in that deal as well, then got them back for a quarter in the off-season. Bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Anyways... I think this trade addresses my major weakness, which is obviously defense. Last year, I went into the auction and built a very solid defense with pick up Mike Green, Nik Kronwall, Zdeno Chara, and Christian Ehrhoff (in addition to already signed Dennis Wideman and Nick Holden, plus farm sensation Mat Dumba). I can only re-sign Mike Green, and I have about $20 less than I did going into the auction last year, so I couldn't replicate my success, even if I tried. So here I get a top end D in Keith at $4. He's getting older, but he should still be productive for a while. If he's in the first group next summer, I'll be happy to re-sign him for $6. Enstrom is certainly a gamble at $4. He's not his 40-50 point self anymore, but he's solid, and there's still the chance he can revert to those numbers if he stays healthy. Still managed to put up a 0.225 last year, which is quite good. Bouwmeester should just be a steady contributor in the high 0.100s, with some luck he'll get back to form from two seasons ago where he was a 0.250 guy. Wikstrand has some hype coming up, and he's certainly the wild card here. He could make the Sens out of camp, or be a bust and go back to Sweden. His pro numbers were impressive last year. Schiefele, well, I really like him. I think he has 70 point potential, and his contract won't be prohibitive for a number of years. That said, it's also possible he peaks out at 50 points, or reverts into a more defensive third line role. I think the former is more likely, though. I was also asked to move Mark Stone instead of Scheifele, but decided I'd rather hang on to Stone (who also happened to be cheaper). I think this is overused in the AHL, but it did play into my decision a little that I also had Stafford and Burmistrov on the Jets. I think it was a pretty fair trade for both sides, to be honest. I think I improved my team a lot, though. Scheifele is pretty replaceable. I've got a dozen forwards who have the same potential as Scheifele has, I imagine one or two of them could blow up soon. Teravainen, S. Bennett, Hertl, Couturier, Kuznetsov... plus MacKinnon, Zucker, Toffoli, Grigorenko, Jurco, B. Bennett, Burmistrov... Palat and Stone leading the way... I could afford to move a forward like Schiefele. This helps out my auction strategy significantly as well, but I won't get too far into that just yet. Link to post Share on other sites

Fabbri is a steal for Jack Johnson and Arcomez. thanks. not completely sold on Fabbri, but I cant afford to keep everyone, so I had to move out some players I thought were at least somewhat replaceable.

Untilted 158 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I feel left out with all this trading going on. Looking to trade some D. I have: Yandle-NYR D signed for $8.25 for 15/16 Garrison-TBL D can be signed for $2.25/2.25/2.25 Looking for a F. Not interested in a high priced F for Garrison but I am open as far as Yandle .I know people are trying to shed high price talent. I have enough cash to keep Yandle. So the F I am seeking can have some 15/16 salary Please send my your best offer or close to it. To say I have very little spare time this week would be an understatement.
