N7Nucks 8,580 Posted June 2, 2018 Values seem to be all over the place. I am not big on Markstrom, but he's a good backup. Baer is a solid middle 6 guy, and Gudbranson can play top 4 and play well. So that seems like an overpayment for the 11th overall. Then you have Gaudette for the 6th overall straight up. Like, what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A 5th round pick (149th overall) is now worth the 6th overall??!! haha...come on. Trades 1, 2, & 4 aren't much better lol.

Fanuck 7,038 Posted June 2, 2018 At first I didn't even want respond - it's that ridiculous. But just for giggles - why is it that people literally have zero clue that you need players in your organization from multiple age/salary brackets to not only compete but to stay competitive long-term in this league. Having over half your playing roster the same approximate age would be financially unsustainable when these contracts expire even if they're staggered a couple seasons.

coastal.view 6,944 Posted June 2, 2018 wow when you simplify life a whole whole bunch it seems pretty simple ? when you accept life is complex and hard then you hire a real gm to sort through all the minutia and attempt to do one or 2 deals in a busy month and they are thorny and difficult to accomplish and close but everything is possible online i guess for certain posters who come to these boards anyway (and what is it you are on anyway ? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
