It's been an interesting first season in TBL. I made moves and built around a strong existing core before the season, tried to compliment the inherited core and remain competitive in an extremely difficult division; and it's been working.
Now I'm not perfect and have done some stupid $&!#, it happens, but (as my grandpa always used to say) from $&!# grows roses.
Now keeping that in mind I decided to do exactly what I said I wouldn't- trade the only two good prospects I had.... but theres other stuff too.
Basically, given the roster construction, cap, expansion and expiring UFA's I was like "&^@# it. Yolo"
So yes, TBL is a much stronger team than they were this morning, but there will be a price to pay for that.
And deep with playoff guys, unless MTL truly can't get their $&!# together. If they can, I think TBL can compete with CHI in R1.
A big thanks to all the GM's that give me the time of day on a regular basis, you know who you are. The rest of you are pretty alright too.
