NHL Entry Draft:
Having traded away the team’s first round pick, there isn’t much going down at the draft. I have no only one goal this weekend and that is to make a trade with the New Jersey Devils.
After long negotiations, we settle on this:
After the trade, we announce that Kovalchuck has been signed to a two-year deal worth $10 Million dollars.
Free Agency:
In Free Agency, I have three targets, and for the sake of fun, let us assume they all choose to sign with the Toronto maple Leafs.
Kevin Shattenkirk: Seven years, $49 dollars. It’s a huge contract and one day we’ll regret it, but hopefully not until after we win a couple Stanley Cups.
Joe Thornton: Two years, $10 Million, same as Kovalchuk. A lot of people don’t realize that Thornton remains an elite defensive player.
Cody Franson: Two years $6 Million. Like Thornton, the best thing about Franson is his proven ability to limit the other team’s shots on goal.
After completing the two drafts and a day of free-agency, I am confident that the Toronto Maple Leafs now have the best team in the NHL.
