You and Fraser both seem to have taken similar paths of upgrade upgrade upgrade when you get some decent assets and have done well, while not many of the current pure rebuilders can say quite the same, about doing well. Maybe just upgrade upgrade upgrade is the best path, as results seem to be speaking for themselves.
Although, one has to have the assets to begin with to upgrade. I had zero prospects, one 1st in the next two draft years, and my best player was a just bought out 33 year old Mike ribeiro when I started. However, Ive added a good amount of prospects and picks, and some quality NHL players in wennberg, Nylander, subban, Suter, green, dubnyk so I may follow your guys examples and shift gears in the near future, as that seems like the tried and true way to BBKL success at this point.
Ya, you couldn't upgrade much with what you took over. Our rosters were similar, but I had a lot more assets to work with. I agree that Fraser's "rebuild" if you want to call it that was similar. Cap space is also an asset and being the team to acquire players that contenders couldn't afford was a big part of my build.
Trades to upgrade have to pan out too, could easily think you are upgrading and be hurting your team.

2 weeks = 8, unless you own a system, I believe.

Best of luck, gents. You're both excellent GMs and equally deserving to get this far. I've been quietly following along. Nice to see new stories this year.

Are all teams going to get to make lineup changes at the midway point of this 2 week match, or just the two teams in the finals. Cuz it would be helpful for me, I believe.
