This would be incredible

I'm currently working in Capfriendly with all these trades to see what is left over in cap. I don't see the need to have Gustavsson and Husso on the team, so I will probably just buy him out or dump him for a 4th or 5th to get more cap space. And I still might try to do the Calgary trade for Sharangovich. I just have to find the article about that proposed deal, I know it involved Maatta.

[LeftWinger 5,065]

Ok, so here's where I am. I am currently roughly $680k over the cap, with only 22 players. I might have to forego one of Perron or Kane. Unless Kane would do a nice deal again for some term.  (note: I traded Husso to Calgary because I am going with them dealing Markstrom away.)

Also, I traded Copp back to Winnipeg where he had a lot of success, and could become a leader for them. In the Sharangovich deal, the original one I saw had Veleno going back, but I already traded him, so maybe a nice top prospect would enough to let Yegor go.

Here's the signings. Could possibly skip Perron and bring up 2 kids in his place to fill out the roster, or even let Kane walk because with Guentzel, Jeannot and Sharangovich, we may not need his offense. Unless he'd take 3x$3.5M to help us out!

Leftover draft picks, including the #12 overall.

...and finally, the roster how it sits. Feel free to pick it apart to see how we could get under the cap and have 23 players with room for injury call ups.

An absolute pipe dream, but I like it.

Bro,

Be a good fantasy GM and LTIR Husso for 75 games.  That will free up 4 million for you.

Check out the Scotterplan.  The SCAM should do this.

The SCAM likes to be active on draft day, but you have 7 trades in this.  Limit the trading to 3 trades.  That would be outrageous activity for the SCAM during one period of time.  7 is just like top of my head coming off outrageous.

I have zero interest in Jeannot

Berggren is worth more to me than what comes back in the philly trade

The Minny trade is ridiculous, and they won't be looking to move Rossi

Copper aint being traded

But other than that, cool

yah,

I want to see try 2 from LW.  He's onto some good things, but it needs polish.

[Axl Foley 320]

Jeannot was a Brisebois whiff. No thanks. 

[stephen-gregory-yzerman 129]

Just noticed Jiris son Lukas Fischer is a prospect in this draft. 6'4 LD projected to go in the 2nd-3rd round Id be good with Yzerman grabbing him in the 3rd if hes still available.

Ya Draper was a charity pick in the 7th round. Fischer actually looks like he could be a player. Plays similar to his old man real good skater and physical.

Pick him up.  I still have my Fischer jersey.  I loved that guy.

[Jimmybigrigs69 301]

We already got his first kid with Christian. Why not?

[town123 212]

I've been looking at some kids that might/could be available at #15.    This is my order and why.

 

#1   Stian Solberg    LD who lists Seider as his favourite player, has nice edge work and can be nasty like Sieder and Kronwall.

#2.  Michael Hage C  a tonne of offensive upside and a good compete level.

 

#3  Carter Yakemchuk RD   great shot, big kid with okay wheels

#4.  Michael Brandsegg Nygard C a tougher Bear-grin clone that might stick at C

 

 

If Catton or Silayev slip..... pretend you didn't read this.

I just mentioned Solberg in the other thread. Love his game but prefer going F in the 1st. I think Yak goes top 10. Catton is my #1. No way he makes it to 15 though. Hage or MBN would be ok picks. I see MBN as more of a Kasper clone then Berg.

Biggest need is LH scoring F.

Not trading up Scott.

[town123 212]

Interesting that the latest Craig Button and McKeens Hockey mocks have us taking Catton at 15.

I could see it happening. Everyone is ranking D low and Forwards high again. It never works out like that. A buncha D the pundits rank 10-25 will end up going 5-20 or something like that, pushing forwards down. 

But it sounds like SY will probably tradeup from 15.

Any one of these guys would be sweet.

That would be my guess.

[stephen-gregory-yzerman 129]

No chance Catton gets to 15. If Yzerman gets him in any fashion dropping or trading up Im streaking through downtown Detroit.

[Axl Foley 320]

Catton is 8th among NA skaters. 15 is not out of the question depending on how you factor in goalies and Euros.
