I don;t think I want Weber or Ghost.
Weber because of the high cap hit and Ghost because Vigneault doesn't seem to like Ghost is high on the depth chart.
I know Ive posted similar threads but Im on the clock and utterly lacking in knowledge of the player type Im dealing with.
G A P STP SOG Hits Blocks- Pims are a negative!
20 million over the NHL cap- use player salary.
We start 5 dmen and Ive only got Klefbom and Barrie fairly deep in the draft.
I think Im ok adding a 3-4 million dollar range guy and looking at Montour and Gudas.
Theres also Sanheim, Butcher, Miller Matheson
A few prospects- Cam York.
IM REALLY TEMPTED TO GO gHOST bEAR AS HES AN OK PLAY AT 4.5 IF HE CAN BOUNCE BACK TO 50ISH POINTS. That being said I was kind of banking on Dmen to stuff some peripheral stats here and maybe a Montour type is the way to go. I had Morrissey qd up and he went right before my spot.
Option B and its rough- I can eat a bunch of cap and take a WEber??

I took Ghost- please help me pick my next Dman- lol! Its a long weight but id love to focus on a Montour/Sanheim type before rounding out the bottom couple with ELC stat stuffers. I also need an F badly- lol!
C- McDavid, Yamomoto(RW), Hughes (LW)
LW- Gudreau, Hall, OPEN
RW- Duclair, Kase, J. Anderson
D- K-Bomb, Barrie, Ghost, OPEN, OPEN
G- Rittich, Varly
Bn- Koskinen, Nedjolvic
Sort of happy so far- and looking to add Nillson out of Ottawa who I have a particular affinity for to my ragtag goalie collective :P
Who I take next?? Please hold the Ghost Bear boos- lol!!! 8th round in a 20 teamer isn't bad- and Ive got a decent enough amount of capspace currently- with 35ish million left...
Still young- maybe a trade helps??!! One of the common wisdoms that has made sense and worked for me is outside of peripheral categories your looking for at least 10 points per million. I feel like Ghost is generally a safe bvet to get that even in a down year- and considering his ttoi and deployment- 200+ sogs is icing on the cake. I know its not the perfect pick and Ill have to address my lack of hits andblocks fairly soon but Im hoping its not a major misstep based on that logic...

I hear ya- me too in a way- I kind of panicked and went with the metrics I know. I figure for all his warts- 4.5 is a pretty reasonable salary for his floor- 45 and 200. That being said i was targetting morrissey and Id like to pick a lower cost peripheral guy next- does Sanheim or Manson make sense here? manson pricier- Sanheim less hits/blocks. Any advice outside of Stephen Johns who I have qd up and my sleeper D in CLB (lol!). Open to suggestions...
