Thoughts on my D
hi all,
Our entry draft has come and gone and now we have a supplemental draft coming up where I can pick up whoever is available (as long as they have been drafted by an NHL team). I am close to our cap, with about 1.5 million remaining. I wonder what the communities opinion is on my D since I think that this is an area where I can drop a player for some younger, cheaper pieces. I quite like my D corps, but I do have 9 of them, and we dress 6. Currently I have:
Barrie, Ellis
Byfuglien, Theodore
Chabot, Montour
With Sergachev, Brannstrom, Sanheim that I can mix in. I can also move Brannstrom, Sergachev or Chabot to my farm to promote another player if needed. I guess three things I am wondering are:
1) Is Buff getting a little long in the tooth and is he primed for a decline
2) Is Ellis worth his salary?
3) Is Samheim worth it, under new coach? Last year once Hakstol was canned they moved him into the top 4 and it seemed to spur his offence a bit.
Thanks for your opinions!
