Yeah, you did a wicked job DCH. If Burke pulls something like this off I'll be ecstatic.

We made some moves that we feel will help us in the short term without screwing ourselves for the long term. We feel Horcoff will excel in a non hockey market as a second line center. We feel with a little less weight on his shoulders he will be a great contributer. In the same sense we picked up Cheechoo as we feel a change of scenery will be just what he needs. He will be playing with a game changing player in Ribeiro and we hope that Cheechoo will find the back of the net again. We still have great prospects like Vishnevsky, Despres and Helgeson on the back end. We also still have Colton Sceviour, Ryan O'Reilly, Tyler Shelast, Sergei Korostin, Raymond Sawada and Pertuu Lindgren up front. If you are interested in many of my role players that I dont have a spot for I am looking for defensive prospects.

we were able to add some grit on the defense and shed some contracts that held us back... may have overpaid for a player or two, but are happy with having cap room if need be and the roster we currently have.
I like how you didnt break up either richards or carter from your line up. Alot of GM games the GM usually trys to trade one of them in a big deal to add depth. But you didnt have to. As for Higgins thats great and all but he usually plays the wing. He started his career as a center and developped more into a winger. Brisebois was by far your worst mistake at least hes just a back up Although Komisarek wanted alot if he has a better season next season then he did this one it could be a very effective get and possibly a top pairing player. And i like Khabi in nets. But its iffy with him as well.
I like your top 3 centers. But I find Cheechoo on the first line could be risky. You cant be sure with him. As for your defense it seems to have gotten a little weaker and more offensive. But other than that looks like a good team that the stars would be able to compete with effectively. And i prefer kostopo over Kopecky. But i could just be speeking from a habs point of view But i like kostopos hard work!

The only thing I didnt like with your roster is Pyatt at 2 mill. I felt I had overpayed for Larose at 2 mill. I compared him and the contract I wanted to give him to Burrows. Burrows got 4years 2 mill per and put up good numbers. Better than Pyatt and LaRose thats for sure. Yet I still had to pay the same price.
wow
what if detroits loses now ... tee hee
good player to get though...
My Tampa team is going to be very strong so Hossa will get another shot, especially as Kadri, Stamkos, Hedman et al mature.
Once all my signings are done, I'll post my lineup.
I also sent Jarmac real estate listings for mansions on the beach in Tampa and explained that the no personal income tax makes his contract that much better.
I'm surprised that Gaborik didn't sign here. The difference was 250K a year and the tax difference would more than make up for it. Plus, if he's an LA kind of guy, surely he'd love the climate of Tampa more than Vancouver. Ah well, its your loss Gabo, enjoy the media tearing you to shreds when you next get injured! [/QUOT
Gaborik probably wanted to play for a contender.. Which, given my line up, is exactly what Vancouver will be next season.
