My Criteria:
- Must be 25+ OR have 250+ NHL games played
- Must average no more than 15m/game as a FWD or 18m/game as a D
- If, in my estimation, they will end the season with more minutes per game than outlined above, I will disqualify them
From Boston - Trent Frederic
From Buffalo - Jason Zucker
From Detroit - Michael Rasmussen (imo Copp will avg 15+ mins by end of year)
From Florida - Nate Schmidt
From MTL - Jake Evans (Newhook imo will avg 15+ mins by end of year)
From TB - Zemgus Girgensons
From Toronto - Timothy Liljegren
For Ottawa, I take Liljegren. His fanboys overrate him but he would add a lot of stability to our 3rd pair. Evans would fill a big hole on the 4th line, too.
Realistically, though, I just want a good backup. How has Korpi been in Boston?
