Actually I do think I'll keep Zemgus. As much as he's sucked in a 3rd line roll I love the type of player he is ...He has 36 discipline so consistency puts up over 150 pms and is also a great fighter.

So I started with Ennis, I shopped him around a bit and didn't get a ton of what I was looking for. However did eventually find a trade partner in Tampa Bay

TO TB
(83) Tyler Ennis
(77) Tohann Auvitu

TO BUF
TB 2018 1st round pick


Just so everyone know's Auvitu was a depth player I signed last season who I forgot to post about. That's all he really is though, a depth player who can come up if injuries happen and play around 10-20 games. TB was one of the worst teams last season so hopefully they remain that way. Got around 4.75 million off the books by trading Ennis.

So now the Schenn trade..I targeted a player I previously wanted when I made the Hodgson trade. I eventually went with Bouillion because he was the better player. This player has stayed on my radar however and I finally got the chance to acquire him. He was another first overall pick and he will develop into a great two way forward if all goes well.. This trade is similar to the Bouillion trade as its also 3 for 1.

TO NJD
(84)Luke Schenn
Joonas Jalvanti
BUF 2020 2nd round pick

TO BUF
(**** 1/2)Steve Liffiton

Jalvanti's another one of those depth signings I forgot to post ...I think right away I lost this trade but in the future it's a big win. Are centre depth continues to be a foot higher then everyone else's and I think that is going to be a big factor if we ever win a cup. Now have 17.220 million. (I also have to resign Gallagher and he wants around 4.7 million, that's why I need so much .)

Mrazek signs 6 years 9.3 million.

Gallagher signs 4 years 4.7 million.

So after those two signings I am left with around 3.745. (BTW I had to release Kristiansen even though I really didn't want to..)

Sign (77) Jens Westin and (77) Maxime Legault as depth. Then realized my fourth line was terrible and signed (75) Tyler Brown and (76) Tyler Zaborsky. This is the least amount of cash I have worked with in a long time...I'm obviously a bit worried about how loosing two impact player's will affect the lineup but I think we have player's that can replace them...


EDIT: If anyone wants to know the overall's or anything of certain player's regardless of the team just post. I will happily reveal them .
