I'm at the allstar game sitting at 21-19-10, the 52 points leave me in 9th place, but I'm only 3 points out of 5th. There has been some movement with the first being a waiver pickup, I was able to get C Mikhail Griorenko from Detroit. After that I made a trade (I really needed to clear up the logjam of RWs I have).

TO CHI
--------
2019 2nd

TO WAS
--------
RW Andrew Shaw

Shaw just wasn't up to par with the rest of my guys. The 2nd rounder is pretty good for a player like him, so I'll take this deal.

I know I said I'd not do injury updates anymore, but I had so many injuries and a lot of them were long term that I think it at least deserves a mention. In the first half, I lost Kane, Frolik, Walch, Leddy, and Siemens for extended periods of time (Month+).

My leaders at the half were:
G: Kane 17
A: Armia 27
+/-: Armia 14
PIMS: Siemens 53
W: Simpson 18

Summary:
- Claimed C Mikhail Grigorenko from waivers.
- Traded RW Andrew Shaw to the Washington Capitals for their second round pick in the 2019 draft.
