I swear, CPHL is like crack. This is why I always resisted, because I knew if I re-joined, I'd do what I have just done.

Anyways, I'm fairly happy with the the status of my team now, and will take things a bit slower as I figure out whether to use up my valuable remaining Cheese space and make trades to fill my gaps, or to wait for Free Agency.

Here is a recap of the last 2 weeks:

IN
Nico Hischier
Kyle Connor
Danton Heinen
Kaapo Khakonen

2nd (DAL) 21'

Cam York
Kristian Vesalainen
Dominik Bokk
Dean Kukan

$3M in Cheese

OUT
Jonathan Toews
David Krejci
Victor Hedman
Nick Jensen
Jeff Carter

27th OVR in 20'
Norris
Veleno

$27.5M in freed-up salary cap space

SUMMARY
Definitely a lot of Top end talent went out, but so did big salaries and I'm happy with what we brought back in.

We have about $11M in cap space still to fill 3 Fwd roles on the Bottom 6 and ideally one more Top 4 D-Man.

Will see what happens, always open to PM's and ideas.
