So here is how the team looks this time around. Absolutely pants? I totally agree. However, I have realised just how many centers I have now. Tlusty for one is out of position... I will sim a little and see what the score is, if we are swimming against the current I will shop on more guys and see what I can get. This is another great draft and I know of a few ace cards in the deck so I would like another shot at more first rounders. FYI, Nylander and Wallmark are on the third line for the AHL. Honka is back in the WHL this year.

As the game sims, there are two players I am majorly interested in. Travis Konecny and Blake Clarke. Both of them are Playmakers, Travis being a center and Blake a LW. Much to my delight, both of these players are extremely capable of being first liners in the future, Blake can play as a center (in a previous update he was a center). Effectivly, you can get one or two players, ok they wont be McDavid calliber and be 90 overall but one high player wont win games alone.

16 games in and we are 8-8-0. I will sim to the All Star game and see what the damage is before making the call. And at the half way point the team goes 26-20-2.

Shockingly, we are 3rd in the Metro, 1 point above CBJ. Better yet, Skinner is leading the NHL in Goals with 29! But yet, I still want to pull the plug. Team are going to start trading and everyone in this division is still in touch with 4th place (Islanders have 42, Blue Jackets have 53). Going to try a trade here...

Carolina Sends:

C - J. Tlusty

Dallas Sends:

Toronto - 2015 - 1st
Dallas - 2015 - 2nd
RW - N. Goldobin (3.5 star)

And it goes

Happy days! Nothing against Tlusty but, he's not really going to fit into my future team. I would like another pick in case I need to combine to get higher up the order in case one or both my hopefuls go higher. So...

Carolina Sends:

D - A. Sekera (Now is the time to move him. He would have been a good top 4 / 6 but by the time this team is ready he'll drop.)

Tampa Bay Sends:

Tampa Bay - 2014 - 1st

Values where even and made sense to me... Ok, we **** the bed this season again but hey hoe. And that is all I need to do for now! So now to sim on and report to the Draft
