A couple of changes in LA.

I think that Blais has more long term potential than Engvall, but I needed a defensively conscious winger for this season, and he fit the bill.

Tough to give up Gurianov. Basically, Duchene solidifies my centre position, but the salary offset of Boroweiki still means I'm taking on a sizable cap hit. The price to be competitive this year! A lot of teams are significantly ahead of me in talent, so I'm going to try a new building strategy this year, and having a strong centre position in essential.

To even out the discrepancy in ages, salary, and trajectory between the two players, Scorp offered Wolf and #25. Since there is a possibility of whiffing on all three assets he was giving me (if Duchene ends up a rental), we added R2 for #76. I'd been after R2 for a while, and like his as a high risk/high reward asset.
