No I know, you're good. It sucks for D'Amato because he's actually a pretty good player, but that poster was telling everyone he's Bobby Orr so now he looks like he's bad by comparison
Smith+2nd+3rd to get the stud D.
Then 2nd+3rd+4th+4th+4th+4th+4th+4th+Toms+Graham to add a couple depth Fs.
More than enough to do that.
An example would be:
F Lines:
Torrance(OA)-Ritchie-Sennecke
Barlow-Sinivuori-Middle 6 F
Middle 6 F-Griffin-Buckley
O'Toole-Franssen-Rogowski
Others: Toms, Graham, Costello
D Pairings:
Konnor Smith or Tommy Budnick or Matt Mayich(OA)-Marrelli
Sandhu-Danford
Wang-Svozil
Rodriguez
Oster(OA)
It is going to be an interesting deadline.
We are starting to see a separation in the west but no team is really pulling away. Six teams at .571% and above. I don’t think we see SSM or Kitchener add but the other four might. Plus, Kitchener may not sell. They may look at the Rehkopf deal and say they did well at recouping picks in that deal and are happy to stay status quo. That takes two big deadline players off the market.
We have the four teams in the East, maybe more if you include Niagara, Sudbury, and Brantford.
There may be a lot of demand out there with very little supply when the deadline rolls around. Players like Romani, and Pinelli may be the best availabel up front. That is a far cry from what I assumed would be the case to start the year. If I am Saginaw, I am looking to move Misa for sure but their fanbase is suggesting otherwise, as in no chance he is moved. Kitchener with Misaljevic and Andonovski hold cards that may not move. What does Brantford do with Lardis and Thomas? Many feel Brantford will buy, not sell. Sudbury is loaded with picks. Musty returned. Will they sell or they to buy?
If this deadline turns out to be a whole bunch of teams trying to buy, all of a sudden players like Foster end up actually worth a hellova lot more than they should be. I’m curious to see how this all plays out but I think think this deadline could be a dud with a lot of teams pigeon holed into status quo.
