Are we Trying to weaponing our flexibility for Roster Building?

[Indca]

Hello there guys;
So from what we can see Hugo team is openly throwing darts on the board without going for the needs as we see from other trades.

Do u guys like this strategy of making trades without getting same type of return as we can see the Hugo team is making Swaps for different positions and we are overloaded on certain position while short on others.

I remember with MB we were too focused on needs on certain position and we wasted lots of picks and held on to assets too long because the management was afraid to risk losing certain position and unable to fill the roster.

Do you like this new approach? Or do you want management to fill the roster?

Sativa is more weaponing

The roster is completely full except for maybe on defence we could use one more veteran. But on offense we have too many, I have Drouin and Byron sitting out, and if Slafkovsky makes the team that’s another guy out. Hugo needs to make a trade.

The titling of the threading is maddening.

with the remaining Cap space from Price's LTIR and, possibly, Byron's LTIR, we could have as much as 5.7M to spend on the waiver wire pick-up we get first dibs on.

I expect HuGo to profit from another team's Cap problems and land a valuable RD candidate on the waiver wire.

That should solve the team needs heading into the next season:

Caufield - Suzuki - Anderson
Slafkovsky - Dach - Monahan
Dadonov - Dvorak - Gallagher
Drouin - Evans - Armia
Hoffman, Pitlick, Ylonen

Matheson - Waiver Wire RHD
Edmundson - Barron
Harris/Guhle - Savard
Schueneman, Wideman

Allen
Mount-Mambo

Other than the G situation and the somewhat limited of experience on D (not a huge concern if we succeed in adding a good RHD off the waiver wire), this is not a bad lineup and, really, I don't think it ends up worst five in the league. to get a top-5 pick, I believe we would actually need the help of the lottery.

I think we could finish 8th to 12th worst in the league, because of the growing pains of the young D and the lack of stellar depth at the G position.

Get ready to be disappointed, if it's all about the tank for you. Good news is that there are good draft picks as well from #6 OA to #12 OA in the first round for 2023.

Somewhat concerning to pencil in a potential waiver pickup (7th-8th on the depth chart of another team at best) on our first pairing.

HuGo are trying to accumulate assets at this stage, building/rounding out, the roster comes later.

Sure, but there might be such an opportunity because of the cash-strapped reality of this flat cap. In either case, this roster might be a RHD away from being a lot more respectable than some believe it is.

I'm thinking the same thing. Though I have misgivings about Allen holding up. Could benefit from motivated Kudhobin as much.
