Looking good so far...you mentioned Mason is an 89 overall...did you edit him yourself or is there another EA update? I edited him myself a few days ago and made him an 88.

[Synergy II 21]

A roster update came out on the 17th. I didn't touch Mason's stuff. I made a few other minor changes, but on AHL players.

To Edmonton
D Christian Erhoff

To San Jose
G Devan Dubnyk

My Thoughts

Not quite sure what San Jose is up to, getting Dubnyk and all. Could Nabby be out the door soon?

On the Edmonton side, they solidify their already above average defensive core.

Edmonton wins this one.

I doubt he would be both (although that would be cool). He still needs a top notch guy to play with Nash, so you have to covers two amazing players instead of one.
