similarly to Brown, I imagined moving Hartman would be a lot easier - but I guess some GMs felt his breakout season was an outlier, plus people cling on to draft picks as if they were diamonds right now, so it wasn't easy to get value. I like that package though. Goalies are voodoo, but Dostal has some upside and might be NHL ready soon. Olsson was a 3rd rounder last year and has already played over 80 games in the SHL, so I feel that's a decent addition to the prospect pool too.
thanks to simmer for the talks!

I wanted to add a middle six winger to the fold and Hartman fit the bill.
We had some extra bodies in our AHL, especially at goalie and defense.
I quite like Dostal and think he has a lot of upside, but with Vejmelka and Knight there, Dostal felt like he could go.
I drafted Olsson and I liked his rights are held by the Preds who are great at developing dmen.
Kalynuk is a weird one. I quite liked him, he had a good yr two yrs ago but last year not as much. But still has potential and skates like the wind.
Thanks devo for the talks.
