Wild trade Geno and AO on the same day
Deal #1
Malkin + Marchand to Phoenix for AO + Eller + 13th overall pick. 2nd round picks (2014 for 2015) also exchanged
Deal #2
AO flipped (because he's a goof who I hate) to Pitt for Eric Staal+Max Domi+ 31 + 47 +53 + 66 + 120 + 143 + 150
Rationale:
- Felt it was time to move on from having Malkin and Crosby together and change the chemistry of the team. I think Staal will bring more veteran experience that the sim likes. In addition, I'm hoping he's a more complimentary player to Syd. I add Eller who is a solid 3rd liner and the 13th pick which I feel good about getting a good player. Having 12+13 allows me to consider some things I wouldn't have if I just had 12 and allows me to be a little more bold at the draft. In addition I add a bunch of picks including the first of the 2nd round - in addition to a solid prospect in Domi.
So it works out to be
OUT:
Malkin
Marchand
IN
Staal
Eller
Domi
13th overall pick
31 + 47 +53 + 66 + 120 + 143 + 150
