Scoring Ws

Hall
Radulov

Top pairing fantasy D last season

Niskanen (21st ranked)
Zadorov (71st, not top 62 but close)
Cole (41st ranked)
Gudas (57th ranked)

Need to cut some cap just like others so figured I'd post before the draft in case people want to trade picks. Open to other futures or cheaper D.

[CasperX22]

Feel free to send hall my way

Sure you can post Bernard-Docker + Hoglander + that 2nd I just gave you, quick and easy public negotiation!

[CasperX22]

Feel free to keep Hall then.

[The BBKL Insider]

Casper should be all over that.

[CasperX22]

Casper should be all over that.

Casper should not be all over that. Give a 1% chance of somebody else coming up with a prospect package of that caliber for Hall.

[Bruyns]

Going to be proactive and make some public offers to give GMs an idea of what I'm looking for. Just ideas and feel free to counter if at all interested or if you think you can offer similar value.

Can cross my name off the list.

Tried to take needs and salary cap into consideration. Didn't analyse everyone though so just throwing shit at the wall pretty much since it seems like nowadays a block gets no action in PMs.

[Handsome&FairMike]

Glad to know I have some useful pieces. More interested in Hall and zadorov - didn’t I trade you Niskanen??
Also cap is gonna be an issue for me, so not sure we’re a good fit!

[Bruyns]

You want any of those guys? I thought you were on your youth movement so I didn't bother asking, almost put Martinook+ for Radulov but figured you wouldn't need him.

Had to look that one up. Weird trade, hope you got someone good with that pick!

[Handsome&FairMike]

Probably traded it haha.

I am. Just dicking around.

Fun to consider, Matt, but I'll pass on my option.

Archibald isn't a flashy player but I don't have many guys that does what he does. He's my best periph forward for sure and he'd be a nice trade deadline piece for a playoff team if my team falls short next season.

Radulov took a pretty steep decline offensively this season and once that goes, he's kinda gone in terms of higher end fantasy value. I'm a little shy on doing another deal like this after my gamble with Okposo but I should've been more suspicious of his health situation.

I'm going to be tight against the cap this year as it is...I need to really be choosy on who occupies big chunks of salary on my team.

Totally get it...

I will defend Radulov though since Dallas just didn't put up much offence this year. B2B 72 point seasons makes me think this season was a blip. He still outscored Pavelski and point per game was about the same as Benn. Even Seguin only put up 50pts in 69GP it was a weird year in Dallas and with him still playing top 6 and top PP I don't think he's done and could easily bounce back.

Looking at my team I don't have bad contracts or many players I want to move so if Radulov gets squeezed out someone will get some offensive production with decent hits and PIMs at a bargain trade price. If I can't get anything of value then maybe I rethink who I move. It's a great time to be a weaker team with futures right now, so many teams are looking at shedding players and you could clean up. I still remember the times when depth 4th liners were worth 2nds it's WAAAAY easier to rebuild now, but too many rebuilders want to collect the best set of unproven assets instead of cashing some in to build up a team over a few years. I think ARZ could turn his team into one of the better ones in the West if he wanted to, but after getting shit on for trading an elite 18 year old for an elite 23 year old I wouldn't blame him if he's a little gun shy now.
