    Default Not sure if this was the right move

    I like to get my dumb moves done early in the season, so I just moved Talbot for Hill so I can sure up the Vegas duo to compliment Demko. He promptly grabbed Copley to sure up the LA duo. I just have more faith in Thompson/Hill than I did Talbot/Copley. I still don't want to run with 4 G spots taken so depending on how things go I might flat out drop Vej. at some point once things become clearer, but for now I at least have 2 clear "starting" goalies going in.

    At worst a lateral move but I agree Vegas will be better than LA. It’s fine.

    Entirely reasonable move. Don't second guess it.

    Personally I love the move.

    I'd definitely be grabbing the Vegas duo ahead of the LA duo. It still feels like LA may have to look for an alternative at the deadline again this season.

    Thanks for the reassurance. I was hoping to catch lightning in a bottle and have both Thompson and Talbot be the starters, but this makes me feel a little better about the whole zero-G drafting. Plus, this is a move we both could only do now before things get muddy. I think it worked out well for both of us.

    So at this point I might just drop Vej and use his spot to stream skaters and goalies in when needed.

    I like it.
    I probably would have taken either duo over a split squad. I prefer Vegas duo (and fear a Kings trade for a 3rd) so think you made out well.
    Vej is a real question mark for me too. Lots of games, a slightly better team, but below average peripherals for sure.

    I also like it. Of the 4 guys, I trust Talbot the least, so he'd be the guy I wanted to deal.

    I'm not a fan of hill but thats cause I play weekly starts and im not convinced hes much more than a platoon guy. In a daily starts league hes a great option especially if you have Thompson. Old man talbot is not the answer for the kings. Hes a one year band aid at best and at the end of the day im not even sure hes that...
