Montreal already had Mike Reilly, we are not trading to get him back.

I like a lot of what you did here. Just not Strome. Values right on trades, but wrong teams.

Everything else pretty solid.

Agree with Gofnut999... geting hold of a first and a third, with a tweak shift at RW is solid thinking! I´ve fiddled with Strome in my line up´s, but will he be better than Jake? Thing with Strome though is security on no 2 C.

Strome is a downgrade from Haula. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Haula as 2C .73 ppg 54% faceoff solid 2 way play

Strome .73 ppg 44% faceoff below average defense

Stome will cost as much if not more than Coyle and all things being equal i’d take Coyle and many complain about his contract. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Trochek a better option.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm not married to Strome or the teams that the players were traded to for picks. More about the theory of using Debrusk/Reilly/Studnicka to open cap space and get future assets like picks or two way contract prospects back. Then effectively using that space to 1 - get a C/RW that could be a top 6 center like Strome, Trochek or other when Bergy retires, and 2 - get a big strong 2 way LW to go with Coyle and Smith to create more depth for when playoff time comes.

It's not perfect but it's the only way I see that's reasonable and can be done. We aren't going to the bottom of the league to draft a Matthews or McDavid with the talent on the team, and staying status quo is just asking to be ousted in round 1 or 2 again next year.
