(Winter, if there's a goalie named Christopher Festarini available I would take him, he's sick in my game!

Finishing up season in this post. I will write as I sim.

So to start. Chicago put up a former first round pick on waivers. He is 3 and a half stars and still has a chance at playing in the NHL. He was rushed way to early by Chicago however and that may of hurt his development.

BUF claims (73) C Marko Vahalahti off waivers from CHI.

I like the guy, he will get first line minutes in the AHL for the remainder of the season and hopefully that is enough to turn him into a border line NHL player. If not I will just keep him and play him down there ....

As I mentioned above I am thinking of trying to acquire Nail Yakupov in the off-season. Our top six has one sniper in it and thats Mikhail Grigorenko. All the other player's are playmakers and that doesn't work for me. So possibly expect a big trade in the off-season.

Now Montreal just put up a former 2nd round pick. He is also 3 1/2 stars and 73 overall. I think he also has an outside chance at the NHL and decided to claim him. He played in the NHL this season and had decent stats so hopefully that leads to him becoming an actual NHL player. (he's a Brit)

BUF claims (73) PWF LW Nathan Walker from Mon.

(Any Jets fans out there Winnipeg just traded Evander Kane to Detroit for a 1st and some 3 1/2 star player from Japan)

Anyway's hopefully he can become around 77-81 overall.. I gave Frk and Teravainen a little look on the big club earlier this season and put them on my first line to make sure they would get points. Hopefully by next season the development will of improved from past seasons.

(BTW Klefbom is in the AHL this season. He has regressed a ton since I acquired him he's 79 overall now. Usually when I send down regressed players to the AHL and give them tons of minutes they get back to normal, so hopefully the same from Klefbom)

(Winter I was simming through games and your Pancel guy had just got called up, we played NYR and he had a two goal game against us :lol: )
