This move was done simply because from our experience with the new sim young players tend to do just as well as older players. So since Sharp is only 3OV less, we figured the addition of Olesz, a 3rd and a Red Wing 2nd rd prospect Emmerton made this deal worth it. Brings some more youth and depth to our roster.
Alfie is a 1st line stud and likely will do well in the sim, but in the old sim veterans had an added value because of how much that sim hated young players (usually). Hopefully Sharp can find a contributing role for the Ducks, even with the new sim it all depends on some level of sim chemistry.
