Need To Trim Some Fat

[Killer67]

Hoping you guys could help me out, I need to cut 2 guys and I'm pretty sure the vultures will be circling when I do. They are mostly prospects with a couple others mixed in. Thanks! Same as cats in my sig but different team. It's a cap league, which is why I have some lesser liked guys in there.

Jori Lehtera
Mike Hoffman
Dominic Moore
Colin Greening
Johan Harju
Brandon Yip
Simon Hjalmarsson
Matt Niskanen
Paul Postma
Jack Hillen
Erik Gustafsson
Nicolas Deslauriers
Brenden Dillon
Charles-Olivier Roussel
Mike Smith - G
Jeff Deslauriers - G

Thanks!!

Mike smith would be my 1st pick to cut.

Harju, Dillon, Deslauriers and Smith are the easiest to cut on your list. Really other than Roussel, Greening and Gustafsson there isn't a whole lot to like here.

Thanks for the replies, I think Dillon for sure. I'd like to cut Deslauriers but with the state of goaltending in Edmonton and the importance of goaltending in my league, it hurts to ditch goalies. I think he'll probably never amount to anything though so it might be a good idea.

What about Niskanen, does anyone think he can amount to anything in Pittsburgh?

Wow, I could never imagine being in a league like this.

Might as well just gather your fellow GMs together and roll some dice.

It's a big league with a lot of roster spots to fill, so it seems trivial to some but any player can become a superstar at any point.

Harju, Dillon, Deslauriers and Smith are the easiest to cut on your list.

I completely disagree with the Harju suggestion. I think he makes the Lightning out of camp next season, and with his offensive game he has a legit shot at a top 6 role imo.

However, I do agree with Dillon. I've watched him quite a bit in the WHL and sure the points are there, but he makes no impact on a game offensively. He doesn't seem like someone whose game will transition to the pros very well and I think he's a fairly easy drop.

Your other drop comes down to a few different people. You could keep some NHL players and dump someone like Simon Hjalmarsson who at the moment does not have a contract and rights no longer belong to the Blues. Or you could look to maybe save some salary and drop someone like Dominic Moore.

Thanks Tony D, I agree about Harju, I like his upside for now. Dillon is gone now and I have 2 more drops to make. Deslauriers is very close to being gone, I am going to monitor the Barons playoff series and go from there.
