Team Audit

[Bazz]

I took over the worst team in the offseason after the 2014-15 season. I have had 2 drafts and 50 trades under my belt now.

16 Team G A PT +/- PIM SOG PPP H+B FOW

2014
C Datysuk Jarnkrok Malhotra Spezza Riberio Kuzy
LW Hertl Martin Kreider Richards
RW Coyle Neal Ovi Ward
D Boychuk Keith Suter Markov Niskanen Orpik Ceci Spurgeon Michalek

M Hishon Spooner Bjorkstand Gormley Sproul

G Luongo Ellis Darling

M Gilles Grubauer Makarov Raanta Rynnas

2016

C Toews Kuzy Rask Letestu Sutter
LW Schwartz Palat Boedker Hendricks Ennis Sheary
RW Tank Laine J Williams Hemsky Nich Jaskin
D Seabrook Larsson Dumba Spurgeon Liles C Miller Scandella Despres Kulikov

M Schmaltz Aho Andrighetto Senyshyn Pokka Provorov Zboril

G Rinne Nilsson Demko Subban Gilles Brossoitt Shesterkin Blackwood

My 2 mistakes, I didn't get a good return for hertl when he was 3C and I traded 2015 #3 and only really got Provorov out of it.

Definitely a huge improvement, but still work to be done. You have some good young goalies, but I would say your biggest hole is the spot right behind Rinne. Some nice forwards there.

Even with FOW as a category, I may look to try and trade Toews to fill the D and G holes. Just my first thought, but you know your league best.

[Bazz]

I've tried on goalies, they cost a fortune. The Martin Jones owner offered him up to me for the price of picks 2/7/8. I moved Lack and pick 8 for Rinne. I took Laine and Aho while pick 8 was Keller. To me a multi cat winger, a top 6 forward and a nice tier 2 prospect for Jones was too much.

Nice work making over the roster.

Given how expensive goalies are, I might try and work on the Neuwirth/Reimer sort of goalie. Decent number, post-prospect, serviceable, could grab a job. Reimer looks like he is next up in Florida in a few years, that is the sort of thing you can aim for to help you now, and possibly later.

Just got Mike Smith for Zboril, best I could do. He gives me a stop gap until my pups hopefully develop.

That is solid! I would say that was a good deal even if goalies weren't so expensive.

Smith could be interesting as last season he ended strong and that Yotes D is better this coming season...

Just curious, what was your return on Ovi?

I think the Mike Smith trade is fantastic, as while you have some decent goalie prospects, I don't think any of them are close to NHL ready. Not this year. Next year is even iffy.

Tank and Sam Reinhart for Ovi. Yeah I'm not counting on my young goalies this year. I think Giles is now delayed until 2018, my hope is demko is a dude and splits with markstrom in 2017-18.

[Bazz]

Thanks for the help, I repped who I could. Finished one last deal ...

Gave up
Adam Larsson
Boedker
Andrighetto
4th rounder of a good team

Received
Morgan Rielly
Nestorov
2nd and 3rd rounder of a bad to mid team so pick 17 - 25 and 29 - 37 ranges.

that's an interesting one and I am interested to hear what others think but I am not sure on it...
