Just messed around (yes, quite unlikely in about half of these trades/signings) on capfriendly and put together a team I think could easily win the Central next season. I’m not sure if I would truthfully enjoy this much of an overhaul of the roster, but nonetheless it was fun! You all should try it.

Nothing wrong with dreaming big but in what world is PLD worth 2 first round picks AND a former first rounder.
Also that John Klingberg signing is awful. Dylan demelo is way better and for like 3 million less
Also not sure why Nashville would trade for schiefele when they aren’t really competing. I see that as more of an near cusp of playoff success while being close to salalry cap. Something like an ottowa or maybe a Pittsburg if they want to go for it one last time with Sid and malkin. I could Colorado paying a good price as their lack of center depth got exposed and schief contract is damn good.
Klingberg, Pionk and Schenn down the right side? I think that would put us a lot closer to winning the draft lottery than winning the Central next season…
I doubt anything will cause Buffalo to trade Tuch, he’s one of the souls of the team it’d be like us trading Lowry. Also Klingberg is more of a 6/7 dman now than a top pairing.
Also Demelo is worth way more than a 3rd. At the deadline he could probably fetch a 1st. A cheap, RHD that is very defensively responsible and can play top pairing.
I know Schmidt isn’t worth his cap hit, but you’d think with salary retained you would still be able to get something back for him, even if it’s a low draft pick.
Also that Klingberg deal is awful. And in what world would tarasenko sign a 3×6 mil deal in Winnipeg?
